ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
FIRST THE BRAKING SYSTEM STARTED TO VIBRATE WHEN BRAKE APPLIED, ROTORS WERE MACHINED, THEN BRAKES CONTINUED TO LOCK UP AND CALIPERS WERE REPLACED AND NOW VIBRATION HAS RETURNED. SECOND THE ENGINE HAS HAD A RUNNING PROBLEM SINCE ALMOST DAY ONE AND NOW HAS LOUD KNOCKING AND RATTLING COMMING FROM ENGINE. THIRD, TWO OF THE STEEL WHEELS BECAME WEAK AND BEGAN TO WARP AND TRUCK COULD NO LONGER BE DRIVEN. AS OF NOW, VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 22 CONSECUTIVE DAYS AND I HAVE ONLY OWNED IT FIVE & A HALF WEEKS. SO FAR, NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE TO MAKE THE VEHICLE DRIVABLE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN CONSUMER WAS AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHILE STEPPING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND REACHING TO 1000 RPM; CONSUMER STATED THAT VEHICLE USED TO PULL TO THE SIDE, AND TIRES WERE ROTATED BEFORE. *AK
