| 1999 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER | THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH THIS CAR INVOLVING THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKES (CALIPERS STICKING), THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS (RUSTED CIRCUIT BOARD AND BURNED OUT BULBS), REAR SEAT BELT (PART THAT LOCKED BELT TO MAKE IT SAFE FOR CHILD SEAT WAS PLASTIC AND BROKE) AND NOW ALSO THE INTAKE & INTAKE GASKETS ON THE COOLING SYSTEM. I'M GETTING REALLY FED UP WITH HAVING THE CAR IN THE SHOP ALL THE TIME. NOW, AT 57,000 MILES, THE INTAKE GASKETS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $600, WHEN THEY WERE ALREADY REPLACED AT 16,000 MILES WHEN THE INTAKE WAS REPLACED. WE THOUGHT WE WERE DONE PAYING FOR THIS CAR, BUT I GUESS NOT. *JB |
| 2012 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | CAR WAS PARKED WITH REAR DEFOGGER AND HEAT RUNNING, LOUD EXPLOSION CRACKING NOISE AND THE REAR WINDSHIELD HAD EXPLODED INTO SPIDERWEBS. GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE -- OTHER PEOPLE PARKED SAW THE INCIDENT AND NO ONE SAW ANYTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD ( PARKED AT SCHOOL DROPPING OFF KIDS ). NOTHING WAS FOUND THAT INDICATED THE WINDOW HAD BEEN STRUCK IN ANY WAY. THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS WARM TO THE TOUCH IN SEVERAL AREAS OF THE SPIDERWEBBED WINDOW. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 0 DEGREES. CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR ABOUT THREE HOURS. *TR |
