FUEL INJECTION LEAKS, CAUSING FUEL SPILLAGE. VEHICLE IS AT DEALER FOR REPAIRS. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

TIMING BELT BROKE THREE TIMES . DEALER WAS CONTACTED, AND REPAIRED EACH TIME. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

I SENT AN EMAIL TO YOUR WEBMASTER SITE EXPLANING EVERTHING IN DETAIL. I WAS DRIVING AND THE SHIELD TO THE SUNROFF FELL ON MY HEAD AND RIGHT ARM CAUSING ME TO GO OFF THE ROAD AND HIT SOMETHING IT RUINED TWO CUSTOM RIMS WHICH HAD CHUNKS OUT OF THEM AND HAD TO BE REPLACED IT WAS VERY SCARY AND VERY COSTLY. WHAT CAN I DO ?

STEERING WHEEL COVER IS COMING OFF THE STIFF RUBBER THATIT IS BONDED. ROTATION OF RUBBER ON STEERING WHEEL IS COMING OFF. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK

CRANKSHAFT PULLEY AND WATER PUMP PULLEY FELL OFF VEHICLE. DEALER HAS REPAIRED VEHICLE.*AK *SLC

THESE ARE NOT ALL THE REPAIRS FOR THE VEHICLE, JUST THE MAJOR ONES THAT HAVE BEEN REPAIRED NUMEROUS TIMES.NO SAFETY DEFECT. *AK

ON DOWNHILL, UNEVEN SURFACE, BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED AND BRAKES GO INTO A NON-APPLIED MODE, AND AFTER APPROXIMATELY A CAR LENGTH, THE BRAKES WILL LCOK UP, MAKE A SLAMMING SOUND, AND PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN DUPLICATED BY THE TECHNICIAN ON BOTH MY VEHICLE AND MY HUSBAND'S VEHICLE (SAME MODEL/YEAR). HIS RESPONSE WAS THAT ALL VEHICLES OF THIS MODEL WILL DO THE SAME THING, EVEN THE BRAND NEW ONES, AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER CONSIDERS THIS A "NORMAL" CONDITION. I HAVE REQUESTED THE MANUFACTURER TO BUY-BACK MY VEHICLE UNDER THE LEMON LAW SINCE IT HAS BEEN REPORTED FOUR TIMES WITHOUT RESOLUTION, BUT THE REQUEST HAS BEEN REFUSED BECAUSE THERE IS NO FAILURE. I FEEL THIS IS A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM, NOT TO MENTION WHAT IS DOES FOR MY NERVES WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AND AS AT A INTERSECTION AT LIGHT THEN VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING. TIMING BELT FELL OFF. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HER THAT CLUTCH HAD BLOWN OUT. *AK

SPORADICALLY, FROM HWY SPEED OF 55 MPH TO OFF RAMP, WHEN CLUTCH IS FULLY DEPRESSED, ENGINE DIES (ALL DASH INDICATORS LIGHT UP) AND RPM GOES TO ZERO, RESULTING IS LOSS OF POWER STEERING (AND PROBABLY POWER BRAKES). DRIVER IS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE WITH CLUTCH IN COASTING IN NEUTRAL. SOMETIMES, ENGINE DIES AGAIN RIGHT AWAY. CAR IS NOT OUT OF GAS.

AT ALL TIMES WHILE DRIVING THERE IS FUMES AND A STRONG BURNING SMELL ENTERING THE VEHICLE WHICH AT ONE POINT AN OCCUPANT GOT SICK OFF OF THE STRONG ODOR. BEEN TO DEALER 36 TIMES. DEALER REPLACE THE ENGINE, BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK
