THE ENGINE STILL HAVING PROBLEMS, BATTERY LEAKING ACID, POWER WINDOS BROKE, ETC.

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING ONTO AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY FROM AN ON-RAMP. THIS RESULTED IN MY INABILITY TO SAFELY ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC, FORCING THE TRAFFIC BEHIND TO TAKE EVASIVE MANEUVERS.

CONSTANT MOISTURE IN HEADLIGHTS, THIS CAUSES LIMITED VISABILITY. THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR FLEW OUT WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENT OR INJURY TO PERSON IN PASSENGER SEAT. BOTH POWER WINDOWS HAVE FAILED TWICE, REGULATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED ON DRIVERS SIDE, PASSENGER SIDE HAS BEEN TIGHTENED AND THEY ARE BOTH BROKE AGAIN. DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR IS LOOSE COULD FLY OUT. DOOR PANELS ARE LOOSE THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN FIXED. FOG LIGHT AND TAIL LIGHT HAVE BOTH BURNED OUT ALREADY. DOOR LOCK COVER POPPED OUT CAUSING WIRES TO BE EXPOSED. DRIVERS SIDE WAS LOOSE HAD IT FIXED. CIGERETTE LIGHTER NEVER WORKED. WE ARE TRYING TO DETERMINE IF ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE RELATED TO AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THE CAR. MANUFACTURER CONTACTED NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AS OF YET. THIS IS VERY FRUSTURATING

PULLING OUT OF DRY CONCRETE DRIVEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 8-10 MPH ,APPLIED BRAKES TO MAKE A STOP AT A MERGING HIGHWAY, AND VEHICLE MADE GRINDING NOISE AND DID NOT STOP. *AK

POSITIVE TERMINAL ATTACHMENT BASE ON ORIGINAL DELCO BATTERY FAILED, CAUSING A LARGE ACID LEAK INTO THE RH ENGINE COMPARTMENT. FAILURE GAVE NO WARNING AND LOOKS TO BE DUE TO METAL FATIGUE. AFTER FAILURE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WERE UNRESPONSIVE AND CAR WOULD. *AK
