POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT
THE SCRATCH ON THE GLASS IS ON BOTH DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS TOLD IT IS FROM THE INNER DOOR METAL RUBBING AGAINST THE GLASS WHEN WINDOWS GO UP AND OR DOWN. THE MARK ON THE GLASS IS ABOUT AND INCH WIDE AND DEEP ENOUGH THAT IT WILL NOT COME OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DURING THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE LOT. THE CAUSE ACCORDING TO THE DEALER WAS THAT THE CAM BELT SLIPPED OFF BY ONE TOOTH. THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS ARE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THERE IS NO ABNORMAL WEAR AND CONSIDERING THE LOW 53,000 MILES - THIS SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE DONE. CAR WHEN COLD IDLES ROUGH, HEAT SHEILD RATTLES, DASH LIGHTS IN CENTER CONSOLE NOT WORKING, EXTREAM CORROSION UNDER CAR EFFECTING SUSPENSION AND MAKING NOISE WHEN TURNING WHEEL RIGHT OR LEFT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
(1) FUEL SYSTEM CEASED TO OPERATE WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION. THIS WAS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM (SUPPOSEDLY, SERVICING CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AFTER THE FIRST TIME) (2) CAR WAS STUCK INSIDE A NATURE RESERVE THAT HAS LIMITED ACCESS. ALTHOUGH I HAVE THE FULL WARRANTY PACKAGE, I COULD NOT GET APPROPRIATE SERVICE TO TOW THE CAR OUT FOR 1.5 DAYS, AND SO MISSED 1 DAY OF WORK. (3) THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE FUEL PUMP AND RELATED PARTS WERE REPLACED. THIS TIME, I FOUND AND REPLACED A BURNT-OUT FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP, AND THE NEW FUSE IMMEDIATELY BURNT OUT WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR. IT HAS NOW BEEN TOWED TO MY DEALER (1.5 HOURS AWAY FROM WHERE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED). (4) I HAVE NO FAITH IN THE SAFETY OF THIS PARTICULAR (BRAND NEW) VEHICLE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, I WOULD LIKELY HAVE BEEN HIT BY VEHICLES FROM BEHIND. I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WITH OTHER CARS OF THIS SAME MODEL.*JB
