1995 BUICK ROADMASTER Complaints
WINDSHIELD WIPERS ONLY WORK ON HIGH AND THEY CUT OFF ON ME ONE DAY IN THE RAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER A HEAVY DOWNPOUR JUST STARTED OUT OF NOWHERE WHICH WAS VERY SCARY AND THEN AGAIN AROUND TOWN ON OTHER RAINY DAYS. ALSO WHEN I DRIVE AND FIRST GO TO ACCELERATE, SOMETIMES IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS NOT FULLY IN DRIVE ALTHOUGH IT IS AND I HAVE TO PRESS WAY DOWN ON THE GAS THEN BRAKE THEN TAKE OFF AGAIN TO MAKE IT JUMP INTO GEAR ALL THE WAY. WHEN IDLING ITS HIGH AND LOW SOUNDING AS WELL, SO I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF ANY OF THIS IS COVERED UNDER ANY RECALL? *TR;
1995 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD Complaints
THE CONSUMER STATED THAT HE RECEIVED A RECALL BACK IN 1999, IT DEALT WITH HAVING THE BALL JOINTS AND KNUCKLES REPLACED. HE STATED THAT AT THAT TIME, HIS DEALER TOLD HIM THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH HIS VEHICLE AND THAT EVERYTHING WAS OK. NOW 20,000 MILES LATER, HE FINDS THAT THE NUT HAS CHEWED THE COTTER KEY OFF AND IN HALF. HE STATED WHEN HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND SHOWED IT TO THEM, THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE TO REPAIR IT. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT HE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED, BECAUSE HE IS TRAVELING UP AND DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AND HIS WHEEL WAS ABOUT TO COME OFF. HE STATED THAT THE DEALERS NAME IS VAN TROW OLDS AND CADILLAC DEALER, IT IS LOCATED AT 2015 LOUISVILLE AVENUE MONROE, LA 318 387 2021. HE STATES ALL HE WANTS IS HIS VEHICLE REPAIRED, WHERE THEY DID NOT REPAIR IT BEFORE. *NM THE CONSUMER HAD THE FAULTY NUT IN THE BALL JOINTS REPAIRED BY A DIFFERENT DEALER PRIOR TO MEETING WITH THE VAN-TROW DEALERSHIP. *LA *JB;
