| 1999 | STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY | WHILE PARKING AT A LOW SPEED, THE FRONT RIGHT TIE ROD FELL OFF. THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE TIE ROD. *JB...OTHER TIE ROD ON LEFT SIDE WAS ABOUT TO FALL OFF AND THE OTHER TWO WERE BADLY WORN. NO PLACE TO GREASE, SO IT MUDT BE LIFE TIME. *AK |
| 2008 | SERVICE BRAKES | WHEN REVERSING OUT OF DRIVEWAY CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. PRESSED BRAKES BUT CAR STILL MOVED BACKWARDS. HAVE SKID MARKS IN DRIVEWAY TO SHOW FOR IT. THREW CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF ENGINE. RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. DROVE CAR ON TRIP AND WHEN REDUCING SPEED TO SLOW DOWN BY PUSHING ON BRAKE CAR AGAIN ACCELERATED AND NEARLY HIT ANOTHER CAR. AGAIN THREW CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF ENGINE. AND AGAIN WHEN RESTARTING CAR EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL AGAIN. WIFE IS EXTREMELY AFRAID OF DRIVING CAR. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN THAT I PUSHED THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME, THIS HOWEVER, I BELIEVE IS NOT THE CASE. DEALERSHIP HOWEVER KEPT THE CAR FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE. WILL HEAR IN A DAY OR TWO. *TR |
