| 1995 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED. IT APPEARED TO BE IN PERFECT CONDITION BEFORE THE SUDDEN INCIDENT. I WANT TO KNOW IF A RECALLED COMPONENT MAY HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND LOSS OF CONTROL. AUTO ALSO HIT 2 PARKED CARS AND LIFTED A ROCK (APPROX. 500 LBS) OUT OF THE GROUND DURING THE ACCIDENT. THE DRIVERS DOOR LOCKED ON ITS OWN, WHILE THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FLEW OPEN ON ITS OWN. THE AUTOMATIC WINDOWS BLEWOUT DURING THE INCIDENT. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT LOW SPEED. MECHANICAL DEFECT IS MOST LIKELY THE CAUSE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.*AK |
| 1997 | SUSPENSION | THE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT CAR SEEMED TO BE PULLING TO THE LEFT/RIGHT. THE CONSUMER HEARD SOMETHING POP AND RATTLE AND THEN PARTS STARTED FALLING FROM THE VEHICLE ON TO THE HIGHWAY. THE CONSUMER PURCHASED MORE PARTS AND THEY FAILED. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LINE WAS LEAKING . ANOTHER MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FRONT END WAS COMING PART AND WAS LOOSE. THE FRAME WAS LOOSE AND NOTHING WAS HOLDING IT TOGETHER. AFTER REPLACING ALL THE PARTS, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY TOLD HER THAT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. BUT, DIDN'T TELL HER WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT NOW PROBLEM IS WORSE. CAR WAS JUMPING LIKE IT DIDN'T SHIFT INTO GEAR. TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT'S SLIPPING. CONTACT CALLED NHTSA LAST WEEK AND TALKED TO A LADY AND WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING FLUID LINE. BOUGHT PIECE OF LINE AND WAS TOLD TO BUY A VACUUM PIPE. |
