FRONT END STRUTS WRE REPLACED AFTER REPORTING CLUNKING NOISE IN FRONT END WHEN CAR WAS PLACED IN REVERSE. ONE YEAR LATER, WHILE ENROUTE FROM PENNSYLVANIA TO WASHINGTON ON VACATION, THE STEERING BROKE WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE IN AN UNDERGROUND PARKING LOT IN SOUTH BEND, IN. RACK AND PINION WAS REPAIRED BY DEALERSHIP IN SOUTH BEND. STARTED TO SMELL GAS FUMES IN VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING TO WASHINGTON. TRIED TO GET REPAIRS IN SOUTH DAKOTA BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND A DEALERSHIP WHO WOULD REPAIR IT. LOCATED DEALERSHIP IN PASCO, WASHINTON TOREPAIR THE FUEL LINE WHICH WAS NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY AFTER RACK REPAIR, AS I WAS TOLD BY DEALER. BATTERY EXPLODED WHILE IN PARKING LOT AT LOCAL MALL. AIR CONDITIONER STARTED EMITTING MUSTY SMELL. HAD AIR CONDITIONER CHARGED TWICE AND IT STILL DOESNT SEEM TO HOLD A CHARGE. CAR WOULD NOT START ON 12/3/1999. THINKING IT WAS THE BATTERY, TRIED TO JUMP THE CAR BUT WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE IT MIGHT BE THE TIMING BELT. NOW I FIND THE WATER PUMP LEAKED WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED A BLOWN GASKET. MECHANIC REPORTS LITTLE COMPRESSION IN THREE CYLINDERS AND 1500.00 ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR. *AK

PROBLEM SEEMS TO START WITH THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKING THEN EVENTUALLY YOU WILL START TO HEAR A POPPING NOISE IN YOUR FRONT END, COMING FROM THE TIE ROD. THOUGHT THIS WAS A SUSPENSION PROBLEM BUT TOOK TO DEALER THE FIRST TIME AND THEY REPLACED MY BRAKES AND SERVICED TRANSMISSION. CLUNCKING NOISE STILL EXISTED WHEN YOU LET OFF THE GAS AND THE SLIGHTLY ACCELLERATED. TURNS OUT THE TIE ROD, TRANSMISSION MOUNT AND AXLE WERE TO BLAME. CAN'T TELL YOU ABOUT THE AXLE AS THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD REPLACE BUT DID NOT SHOW UP ON REPAIR. I KNOW THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVE TRAIN AND SUSPENSION IN THE CAR. AS FOR THE DIP STICK, THE HEAT CREATED BY THE ENGINE IS COOKING THE PLASTIC IN THE COLORED DIPSTICK TO THE POINT IT JUST FALLS APART. I RECENTLY HAD THE TIE ROD AND TRANSMISSION MOUNT REPLACED AND NOW HAVE A MUCH WORSE CLUNCKING NOISE THE SAME DAY OF THE REPLACEMENT...CAN I GET SOME HELP AS I FEEL THIS CAR IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WAITING TO HAPPEN..
