ON 5/01/2000 TOOK VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED TOLD DEALER THAT SOMETHING WRONG WITH BRAKES. TIRES WERE ROTATED AND TOLD ME NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. ON 8/07/2000 AFTER SLIDING THROUGH A STOP SIGN FOR THE SECOND TIME THEY VERIFIED THAT I HAD NO BRAKES ALL THE WAY AROUND BECAUSE THE REAR END WAS LEAKING AND IT TOOK OUT THE BACK BRAKES AND THEN THE FRONT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO BACK BRAKES. IT COST $ 547.04 NOT INCLUDING WHATEVER THEY BILLLED FOR WARRANTY WORK ON THE REAR END. BUT IF THE REAR END LEAK HAD BEEN CAUGHT ON 5/01/2000 THEN I WOULDN'T HAVE LOST ALL THE BRAKES , WHICH ON THAT DATE THEY SAID WERE FINE. *AK

IN THE PROCESS OF A TURN AND GOING FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR, THE VEHICLE EMITS A VIOLENT JERK AS IT STRUGGLES TO SWITCH GEARS. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO. THE DEALERSHIP HAS EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND CONTENDS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. *AK

STEERING DOES NOT RETURN AT SLOW SPEED AFTER A FULL TURN,DEALER WORKED ON IT 5 TIMES INCLUDING CHANGING THE POWER STEERING UNIT AND THEN THE RACK AND PINION. FINALLY ON THE 5TH TRIP TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE TIRES, SO I HAD TWO MICHEILEN TIRES ON THE FRONT AND IT DID HELP BUT DID NOT COMPLETELY CURE THE PROBLEM AND SINCE I HAD THE TIRES INSTALLED IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AGAIN. THE SERVICE MANAGER NOW TELLS ME "THAT IS THE NATURE OF THE VEHICLE"*AK
