| 1998 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | WHILE DRIVING ALONG HWY 101 THE OVERHEAT LIGHT TURNED ON AND THE TEMPERATURE GAGE JUMPED TO OVER THE LIMIT. WE PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE VEHICLE, IT WAS NOT HOT. HOWEVER, THE GAGE WOULD NOT RETURN TO NORMAL, CAUSING THE VEHICLE THE CHUG AND HAVE VERY LITTLE DRIVE UNTIL 15 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD IT KICKED BACK INTO NORMAL LIKE A BAT OUTTA HELL. THIS, ALONG A MOUNTAINOUS FAST MOVING HIGHWAY WITH LOGGING TRUCKS ON MY TAIL; NOT A VERY SAFE SITUATION. ON THIS SAME TRIP, THE PASSENGER WINDOW WOULD NOT GO BACK UP, @ 55MPH AND 40 DEGREES, IT WAS NOT PLEASANT.*AK |
| 2000 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | ON JUNE 17, 2003 WHILE DRIVING NEAR MY HOME MY BRAKES FAILED, TOTALLY, I HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO AVOID BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I FROM GOING INTO THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON NOTHING. I HAD JUST A FEW INCIDENTS OF THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMING LIKE IT WAS GOING DOWN MAYBE A COUPLE OF TIMES THE DAY BEFORE. BRAKES NEVER MADE ANY NOISES TO INDICATE THERE WAS A PROBLEM STARTING. MASTER CYLINDER HAD TO BE REPLACED |
