WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE GAS GAUGE WOULD GO PASS EMPTY AND CAUSED THE ENGINE LIGHT TO APPEAR, WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS THE VEHICLE WOULD SWING OUT (ALMOST LOST CONTROL), WHEN THE SPEED GOES UP TO 60 MPH THE FRONT END VIBRATES, AND WHEN A RIGHT TURN WAS MADE, A CRACKING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE. *MR SCC

FOR THE LAST 2-3 MONTHS ANY TIME THE BACK OF THE CAR IS INCLINED DOWN, THE EMPTY FUEL TANK LIGHT ACTIVATES AND THE GAGE MOVES DOWN TO THE EMPTY POSITION. ONCE THE CAR IS INCLINED FORWARD OR FLAT, THE LIGHT TURNS OFF WITHIN A FEW SECONDS AND WITHIN 1-3 MINUTES THE GAGE MOVES BACK UP. THE GAGE IS ALSO SLOW TO RESPOND TO FILLING, AND IN GENERAL NOT EXTREMELY ACCURATE. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER/SERVICE PEOPLE, SAID THE GAGE IS ACTING ODD, HOW MUCH WORK IS INVOLVED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING THE EXACT PROBLEM. THEY SAID, WE KNOW WHAT IT IS, IT IS THE SENDING UNIT THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. (REQUIRING FUEL TANK & PUMP REMOVAL, ETC...) IF THIS PROBLEM IS SO PREVALENT THAT THE SERVICE DESK PERSONNEL KNOW IMMEDIATELY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, OBVIOUSLY THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON FAILURE AND A DEFECTIVE PART. *NLM

THE TRANSMISSION INTERMITTENTLY HAD A HARD SHIFT AS IF THE CAR WAS REARENDED WHILE SHIFTING. THIS OCCURRED AT ALL SPEEDS AND GEARS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY THE COMPUTER SHOWED NO ERRORS WHEN TESTED. *TT

BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGEERS AUTOMATIC WINDOWS HAVE BROKEN. THE MIDDLE CONSOLE IS BROKEN. THE HOOKS FOR THE BACK SEAT DO NOT LATCH THE SEAT AND THE SEAT FLIES FORWARD DURING BRAKING (A DISTRACTING HAZZARD). THE ENGINE MAKES A TICKING NOISE. THE ENGINE SEEMS TO GET TOO HOT. THE ENGINE SEEMS TO SMELL OF OIL EVEN AFTER SHORT TRIPS. THE BELTS MAKE LOUD NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS JUST STARTING - I JUST HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE STATION AND THE SERVICE MAN SAID HE DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.
