BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOW DRIVE SYSTEMS HAVE FAILED AND WINDOWS WILL NOT STAY CLOSED

ENGINE STALLS WITH NO WARNING AT IDLE. DEALER CAN'T HELP. ENGINE ALSO MAKING EXCESSIVE TAPPING NOISE AT START-UP.*AK

BOLTS ARE PULLING OUT OF THE METAL OF DOOR BEHIND THE HINGES ON DRIVER'S SIDE. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MANUFACTURER'S RECALL DUE TO VIN, AND REPAIRS WOULD BE DONE ONLY AT CONSUMER'S COST. *AK

(TWICE WITHIN SIX MONTHS) A SHORT IN THE STEERING COLUMN HEADLIGHT SWITCH WIRING HAS RESULTED IN THE HEADLIGHTS BECOMING INOPPERATIVE, SO I HAD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH ONLY THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. TURNING TO THE LEFT CAUSES THE PARKING BRAKE WARNING LIGHT TO GLOW, AND TURNING TO THE RIGHT CAUSES THE LIGHT TO EXTINGUISH. THIS COULD BE DUE TO A LOOSE WIRE? ANOTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IS THAT THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS NO LONGER WORK.

THE STEERING BECAME HEAVY WHILE MAKING A SLOW SPEED (25 MPH) TURN AND EVENTUALLY LOCK (WOULD NOT TURN FURTHER) AND POWER ASSISTING AGAINST MY TURN (DIRECTION). DEALER INVESTIGATION FOUND THE RACK SEALS BLOWN OUT AND IS REPLACING RACK ASSEMBLY.

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 65 SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING AN ICEBALL, VEHICLE WENT AIRBORNE, CONSUMER HAD NO CONTROL OVER STEERING, THERE WAS NO STABILIZER BAR MADE FOR 1994 MODEL, THEY WERE ONLY MADE FOR NEWER MODELS. CONSUMER DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. *AK *ML

THE DRIVER WAS TRAVELING AT 50MPH ALONG A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED MOVING VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL, LEFT THE ROAD AND FLIPPED THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES LANDING UPSIDE DOWN. THE DRIVER REMOVED HER SEATBELT AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THROUGH THE BACK BROKEN WINDOW WHEN THE FRONT AIRBAGS VERY SLOWLY STARTED TO INFLATE. THE AIRBAGS NEVER FULLY INFLATED. THE SIDE AIRBAGS NEVER INFLATED. WE ARE ANXIOUS TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS A WAY TO DETERMINE WHETHER A STEERING DEFECT LEAD TO THE ACCIDENT.

TORQUE CONVERTER SOLENOID AND FLUID PRESSURE SWITCH FAILED ABOUT EVERY 15000 MILES. DEALER HAS REPALCED THE PARTS CONTINUALLY. *AK

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED PEDAL BECOMES SOFT AND GOES TO THE FLOOR, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER HAS REPLACED BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. *AK
