| 2007 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | 1. 08/23/2010- LEFT FOR WORK CAR STALLED, HARD KNOCKING IN GEAR. CAR INOPERABLE I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT. 2. ENGINE CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED 04/23/2009 , PART # 89661-02K21,VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THIS INCIDENT 08/23/2010 THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME ISSUE , THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE WHICH WAS REPLACED 04/23/2009 ,THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1000.00 TO REPAIR , PLUS THE COST OF A RENTAL CAR. THE MILEAGE AT THIS TIME IS 83,419. SO I AM ADVISED IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS SAME ISSUE HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN TWO YEARS. NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF THIS REPAIR BUT WILL IT HAPPEN IN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS? IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THIS VEHICLE HAS A DEFECT. THANK GOODNESS THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS PAYING ATTENTION TO FACT I WAS HAVING DIFFICULTIES OR AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE EASILY OCCURRED. *TR |
| 1989 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX 35 MPH ENROUTE TO THE FREEWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SIEZED LOCKING UP THE FRONT END, BRINGING THE CAR TO A SCREECHING HAULT. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THE DRIVER BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO REACT AND AVOID A COLLISION. DEALER CONFIRMED A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED AS I PLAN TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION MYSELF WITH A USED OR REBUILT COMPONENT. I DON'T EXPECT ANY REIBURSEMENT, BUT THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE REPORTED AS IT DID CREATE A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. |
