| 1997 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS | THE BRAKES GRIND AND SQUEAL WHEN THE CONSUMER IS ATTEMPTING TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY INSTEAD IT SLIDES A FEW FEET BEFORE COMING TO A FULL STOP, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE COMPLAINT WAS RESOLVED AND THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER PROBLEMS BUT THE PROBLEM REOCCURS.

| 1995 | SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS | BOTTOM OF DRIVERS SIDE COIL SPRING FAILED - BROKE COMPLETELY AND RATTLING AROUND IN LOWER SUPPORT. COULD NOT IDENTIFY RATTLE FOR A LONG TIME UNTIL RECENTLY. MOST PROBABLE CAUSE OF FAILURE THIS EARLY IN THE SERVICE LIFE OF THE PART WAS THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS OR MATERIALS USED. IF THE SPRING HAD FAILED IN THE MIDDLE, THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN MORE SEVERE. SINCE THE PART BROKE AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE, I THINK THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPLACE THE UNIT AT THEIR EXPENSE.*AK |
