| 1989 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | ENGINE HEAD GASKETS FAILED THREE TIMES. |
| 2003 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH AND LET UP ON THE GAS WHEN I REALIZED I WAS IN A 30 MPH ZONE. I DROVE ABOUT FIVE MORE BLOCKS WITHOUT TOUCHING THE THROTTLE AND THE CAR NEVER SLOWED UNTIL I APPLIED THE BRAKES DUE TO COMING TO A STOPLIGHT. THIS WAS ON LEVEL GROUND. SINCE THEN THE CAR WILL NOT SLOW DOWN WITHOUT USING THE BRAKES. I HAVE DRIVEN OVER 5 MILES AT ONE TIME AT 60 MPH WITHOUT THE CAR SLOWING TO LESS THAN 58 MPH. WHEN I TAKE IT OUT OF GEAR TO HELP ME SLOW DOWN THE ENGINE REVS UP AND THEN VERY SLOWLY IDLES DOWN. OCCASIONALLY THE ENGINE WILL SLOW AND THEN DIE WHEN SITTING AT STOP LIGHTS. MY BRAKES WERE WORKED ON 3 MONTHS AGO BUT ARE FEELING LIKE THEY NEED TO BE REPAIRED DUE TO SHAKING WHEN I HAVE TO BRAKE HARD TO STOP THE CAR. *TT |
