ENVOY 360 SPEEDOMETERS 2004 READS IM GOING 150 MPH ALL THE TIME. *TR

2003 CHEVY SILVERADO - POOR STEERING- I HAVE REPLACED THE GEARING BOX W/FRONT END ALIGNMENT DUE TO HAVING 4 ESTIMATES AND ADVISED THAT THE GEAR BOX WAS DEFECTED. 6 MONTHS LATER - I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY SEVERAL CERTIFIED MECHANICS THAT THE GEAR BOX THAT WAS PUT IN IS ALSO DEFECTED. POOR STEERING CONTROL, TRUCK PULLS ALL OVER THE ROAD WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. IF THE STEERING BOXES FOR THIS YEAR/MAKE VEHICLES ARE DEFECTED, WHY NOT COMPENSATE THE OWNERS FOR ALL THE EXPENSES. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THESE PARTS FOR THIS YEAR VEHICLE IS IN FACT DEFECTED. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS/ACCIDENTS/INJURIES DOES IT TAKE BEFORE THESE ISSUES ARE ACKNOWLEDGED? I HAVE SPENT OVER $1,500.00 JUST IN THE BRAKING AND STEERING REPAIRS AND YET FACED AGAIN WITH MORE COST OR EITHER GET RID OF MY TRUCK THAT I HAD FOR 1 YEAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2000 GMC JIMMY MY GIRLFRIEND WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. SHE CAME AROUND A CORNER AND HAD TO COME TO A QUICK STOP, WHEN SHE HIT THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND SHE HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. AFTER THE INCIDENT I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC, AND HE FOUND THE STEM THAT COMES OFF THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD BROKEN OFF. HE CONTACTED THE NHTSA AND THE AGENT AGREED WITH HIM THAT THIS PART SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKE OFF. MY VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED SEVERELY AND IF THIS PART DID NOT BREAK AND THE PARTS WORKED CORRECTLY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND LOST POWER TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT. VERY STIFF AND PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO COME GET ME, AFTER WAITING 20 MINUTES, I TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE WHEEL WAS FREE TO MOVE AGAIN. THIS OCCURED A SECOND TIME LAST WEEK WHEN I STARTED MY CAR IN THE MORNING. I TURNED IT OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES AND FINALLY IT WORKED. THE CAR IS VERY UNSAFE AND I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AS IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN GOING A FASTER SPEED. CURRENTLY THE CAR IS NOW AT THE SHOP LOOKING AT THE POWER STEERING MECHANISM THAT IS BAD. IT IS A RECALL AND ALREADY REPLACED AND IS BAD AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHERE THE CAR CAN STOP WORKING AT ANYTIME WHICH GIVES YOU NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. *TR

A 2005 PONTIAC G6- THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILING SPORADICALLY. CONTACTED GM (PHONE) REFUSED TO ACCEPT REPAIR/REPLACE THE UNIT, CITING TIME/MILEAGE. *TR

CAR WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER OF 2004 USED FROM SATURN OF FAYETTEVILLE NC. IN FEBRUARY OF 2006 WHILE ENTERING HIGHWAY MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO FIND THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS THE PROBLEM. I HAD A USED ENGINE PUT IN MY VEHICLE WHICH ONLY LASTED ME JUST OVER A YEAR AND COST ME OVER 1,800.00. IN OCTOBER OF 2008 I WENT OUTSIDE TO START MY VEHICLE TO FIND IT WOULD NOT START, THINKING THAT THE BATTERY WAS BAD I REPLACED IT, IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM THINKING IT MIGHT BE THE SPARK PLUGS THEY WERE REPLACED AS WELL. FRUSTRATED I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE PLACE THAT REPLACED THE FIRST ENGINE AND AGAIN TO MY SURPRISE GUESS WHAT BAD TIMING CHAIN. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ONLY 4 YEARS STILL OWING ON THIS VEHICLE I AM VERY FRUSTRATED. I HAVE CALLED SATURN AND I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. I HAVE BEEN ONLINE TO DISCOVER THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS HORRIBLE PROBLEM. *TR

AUGUST 2008 - FAN CLUTCH FAILURE, $800 DEALERSHIP CHARGE TO FIX OCTOBER 2008 - BLOWER MOTOR FAILURE, NO HEAT OR AIR ON SPEEDS 1, 2 & 4, ONLY ON SETTINGS 3 & 5, NOT SURE IF IT IS BLOWER MOTOR OR SWITCH. *TR

ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM STARTED AT 110,000 MILES ON 2006 GMC ENVOY SLE AWD AND WAS NOTED ON A DEALERSHIP VISIT. UNFORTUNATELY NOW HAS 150,000 MILES WHEN THE . VEHICLE HAS RUN OUT OF FUEL ON FREEWAY WITH WIFE AND CHILDREN, AND ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. IT HAS REQUIRED NUMEROUS AAA CALLS FOR FUEL OVER THE PAST YEARS AND HAS CREATED A MANY HOURS OF INCONVENIENCE AND LOST OF WORK. ME AND MY WIFE HAVE BEEN STRANDED ON THE ROADSIDE OVER 15 TIMES DUE TO FAULTY FUEL READINGS. PROBLEM HAS BEEN TOO COSTLY TO REPAIR SO WE HAVE TO NOW RELY ON RESETTING THE TRIP ODOMETER. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE MORE THAN A SAFETY BULLETIN FOR ONLY VEHICLES UP TO 120,000 MILES. THIS IS A FARCE TO THE GMC AND CHEVY OWNER COMMUNITY. IS THE NHTSA WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO DIE BEFORE MAKING THIS A TOTAL RECALL TO PAY FOR REPAIRS FOR ALL OWNERS OF THESE PRODUCTS? THIS IS A FAILED DESIGN THAT MUST BE CORRECTED FOR PUBLIC SAFETY SAKE. PLEASE WORK WITH THE MANUFACTURERS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE FAIRLY, EQUITABLE, AND HONESTLY. THANK YOU. AND MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON THOSE WITH THE POWER TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE CONSUMERS OF THESE PRODUCTS. THANK YOU AGAIN. *TR

2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT GAS GAUGE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE,WAS ON THE EMPTY MARK WITH ABOUT 1/8 TANK GAS LEFT BUT GAUGE READ FULL OR MY GAUGE TO NOT READ CORRECTLY; AFTER FILLING, THE GAUGE WOULD NOT MOVE THE OPPOSITE WOULD OCCUR ALSO; THE GAUGE WOULD SHOW THE TANK WITH MORE GAS THAN WHAT I ACTUALLY HAD. HEY REPLACED THE FLOAT AND STILL NOT WORKING IN FACT IT'S WORSE. *TR

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS USED 2001 SATURN IN 2001. I HAVE PUT 2 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, STEERING RACK, STABILIZER BAR, FRONT STRUTS, HAD A HEAD GASKET MAJOR PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED TWO OTHER NEW SATURN'S WITH NO PROBLEMS...I AM ROUGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CAR. ALSO MY DASH LIGHTS DIMMED WHEN SECURITY LIGHT FLASHED ON AND WHEN THAT HAPPENED ALSO MY TEMP GAUGE AND GAS GAUGE WOULD GO FROM RIGHT TO LEFT AND THEN BACK QUICKLY. I HAD TO HAVE A MODULAR REPLACED. AGAIN, I AM SOOOOO DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CAR. WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING THIS I HAD TWO INLINE FUEL FILTERS AS THE CAR JUST STOPPED WHILE DRIVING...SPEED WENT DOWN AND DOWN AND NOTHING. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS *TR

FLY WHEEL AND SPEEDOMETER. *TR

HEADLIGHTS CONTINUALLY BURN OUT. REPLACE EVERY MONTH! JUST REPLACED ON 2 DAYS AGO AND ALREADY OUT AGAIN! SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. *TR

HAZARD LIGHTING SYSTEM, BLINKERS, CRUISE CONTROL ALL WORKED "GREAT" UP UNTIL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR REPLACEMENT PART. I DID AS INSTRUCTED AND THE PART REPLACED, EVER SINCE THEN THEY SHORTED OUT WHEN USING MY BLINKERS OR CRUISE. WHEN MY BLINKER WAS GOING AND JUST STOPPED..I HAVE TO PUSH THE HAZARD BUTTON IN AND OUT AND THEY START WORKING AGAIN. I SEVERAL TIMES TOOK CAR BACK AND DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GET IT TO MALFUNCTION, UNTIL FINALLY THEY TOLD ME TIME HAD EXPIRED FOR FIXING, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HISTORY OF REPEATEDLY BRINGING IN VEHICLE. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY PERFECT CAR UNTIL, I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP. *TR

GMC YUKON XL, FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. WE HAVE A YUKON XL AND OUR INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS BEEN DEFECTIVE FOR YEARS. SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER AND THE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONER CONTROLS ARE ALL NOT WORKING FOR YEARS. WE HAVE A RISK OF RUNNING OVER THE SPEED LIMIT AND ALL THE OTHER INCONVENIENCES OF THE THE OTHER GAUGES THAT WORK ON AND OFF. PLEASE CHECK ON LINE AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE IS A WHOLE INDUSTRY TO FIX THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS. THAT IS PROOF ENOUGH. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 ENVOY WITH 18,000 MILES IN THE SUMMER OF 2006. BEGINNING IN JANUARY 2007, MY 3 YEAR OLD SON LET ME KNOW THAT HE WAS COLD WHILE RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT AND BEGGED THAT I TURN OFF THE AIR. TURNS OUT THAT THE VENT IN THE BACK OF THE CAR WAS BLOWING ICE COLD AIR ON MY SON. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 DEGREES. I CALLED AND SCHEDULED A TIME TO TAKE MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP, AS IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I FOUND OUT THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A "BULLETIN" STATING THAT GMC WAS FAMILIAR THAT THERE WAS HEAT FAILURE IN THE BACK OF THE CARS, BUT THE COMPANY WAS CHOOSING NOT TO DO A FULL RECALL. INSTEAD, THEY WERE WAITING FOR CUSTOMERS TO DISCOVER THE PROBLEM AND BRING IT IN FOR REPAIR. THEY HAD TO INSTALL A SPECIAL PUMP, HOWEVER, THIS STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD, IT JUST MODIFIED THE TEMPERATURE OF THE AIR FROM APPROXIMATELY 20 DEGREES TO MAYBE 50 DEGREES. NOT A LOT OF COMFORT IN A MINNESOTA WINTER. I WAS INFORMED THAT BOTTOM LINE, IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE VEHICLE, AND THAT I COULD JUST TRY TO FORCE THE AIR FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR TO THE BACK SEAT. WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING VENTS IN THE BACK OF THE CAR, AND HAVING A SEPARATE HEATING ELEMENT SPECIFICALLY FOR THE BACK OF THE CAR? I PURCHASED THIS CAR BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT WITH THE VENTS IN THE BACK, IT WOULD HELP HEAT THE CAR FASTER IN THE WINTER, HELPING TO KEEP MY SON WARM. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT HEAT SHOULD BE A LUXURY, AND AM DISAPPOINTED THAT GMC WOULD NOT DO MORE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I WANT IT TO BE KNOWN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM IN THE ENVOY AND TRAILBLAZER, ESPECIALLY FOR FAMILIES WITH SMALL CHILDREN WHO DO NOT HAVE A VOICE TO LET THEIR PARENTS KNOW THE ICY AIR BLOWING ON THEM. *NM

THE 2006 CHEVROLET IMPALA HAD A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON A POWER STEERING HOSE I WAS NEVER NOTIFED OFF. THE HOSE EXPLODED, AND THE CAR COULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS TOWED TO THE 1ST DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED, BUT IT WOULD NOT STEER OUT OF THE BAY. THEY FLUSHED THE POWER STEERING UNIT, AND WITH DAYS IT WOULD NOT STEER PROPERLY. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, WHICH AFTER TWO VISITS, DETERMINED IT NEEDED A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP. THEN THE ACCELERATOR STUCK TO THE FLOOR WHILE TURNING. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A NEW ACCELRATOR WAS INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME AGAIN AND ATHE STEERING WENT OUT, THIS TIME, I NEARLY HIT A TELEPHONE POLE WHILE TURNING. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK THE CAR IN AND REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION. THE CAR AGAIN DID NOT STEER PROPERLY, AND I NEARLY HIT A PHONE POLE ON THE WAY HOME. AT ONE POINT THE SECOND DEALERSHIP PUT OVER 200 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. GM SAID THE CARWAS. IN OPERATING ORDER . T HAD LESS THAN 17,000 MILES ON IT, AND DEMANDED I PICK UP THE VEHI OR BE CHARGED STORAGE FEES. I HAVE NEARLY WRECKED THE CAR DUE TO MECHANICAL DEFECTS ON THREE SEPERATE OCCASIONS. *AK

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT IN 2006 , THEY SOLD ME THE VEHICLE THAT THEY USED FOR TEST DRIVING, WHICH I TOLD THEM WAS OUT OF LINE AND THEY STILL MADE ME PURCHASE IT. I BOUGHT IT BACK A WEEK LATER AND THEY HAD TO LINE IT UP BECAUSE IT WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD. A MONTH LATER, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY $1200.00 TO GET IT FIXED UNTIL I NOTIFIED THE DISTRICT MANAGER AND HE MADE THEM FIX IT.THEN THE SECURITY AIR BAG LIGHT STAYED ON AND IT WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION AND THEY TRIED TO MAKE ME PAY FOR THAT. I HAVE BEEN SPENDING MONEY ON TIRES ALL THE TIME, SPEND MONEY ON BRAKES ALL THE TIME, HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL UNITS TO THE RADIO KEEPS GOING OUT, BEARINGS IN THE WHEEL IS GONE, AND IT KEEPS CUTTING OFF. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I GOT A LETTER FOR THE RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING AND WHEN I GOT MY CAR BACK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, THEY MESSED UP MY BOOT AND NOW TELLING ME I NEED TO FIX IT WHEN THEY HAD SOMEONE TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR 12 MILES. NOW ALL I GET IS A LOT OF DISRESPECT FROMTHEM AND THEY DON'T WANT TO REPAIR WHAT THEY MESSED UP. I ALSO WANTED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR LAST MONTH FOR MY SON WHO GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE AND I HAD TO LOOK THROUGH THE WINDOWS TO SEE VEHICLES INSTEAD OF THE SALESMAN OPENING THE DOOR AND LETTING ME LOOK IN THE INSIDE. MIND YOU I BOUGHT A 16,000.00 CAR FROM THEY AND THAT'S HOW THEY APPRECIATE MY BUSINESS. I AM HEART BROKEN BECAUSE I FEEL AS IF I WAS ROBBED OF MY MONEY. I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GIVEN A CAR THAT THEY USE FOR TEST DRIVING. ALSO THE SECURITY AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF AND THEY WOULD NOT LET IT PASS INSPECTION. *TR

MY 1999 CHEVY MAILBU HAS HAD MANY PROBLEMS. I WILL START WITH THE 2 FUEL INJECTERS REPLACED 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING. THE CAR BEGIN TO RUN ROUGH THEN WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS STARTING. THEN THERE WAS THE ALTANATOR, THE THERMOSTAT, THE HEAD AND INTAKE GASKETS AND THE NUMUROUS ELECTICAL PROBLEMS. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS STILL CANNOT BE SOLVED AFTER NUMROUS TRIPSTO THE REPAIR SHOP. MOST OF THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. AS A CONSUMER I HOPE YOU WILL HELP US MALIBU OWNERS WHO ARE IN DESTRESS. I KNOW THE AUTO COMPANIES ARE IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE BUT THAT STILL DOES NOT EXCUSE MAKING AN UNSAFE AUTO. I AM AFRAID ENOUGH NOT TO DRIVE MY CAR. I FEEL I PUT MY FAMILY AND MYSELF IN DANGER TAKING THSI CAR ON THE ROAD. I HOPE YOU WILL HELP CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL MY ONLY NEXT OPTION IS TO CONTACT A LAWYER OVER MY LEGAL RIGHTS.

FOLLOWING ARE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE OWNING IT. ALL OF WHICH I FEEL HAS CAUSED ME GREAT INCONVENIENCE, AND RECENTLY TOO MUCH MONEY. I HAVE SENT LETTERS TO GMC JUST TODAY TO SEE IF THEY ARE GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE INCONVENIENCE AND COST. OCTOBER 21, 2002 AT 4035 MILES THE IDLER ARM WAS REPLACED, (UNDER WARRANTY) AT DOAN CHEVY. SOMEWHERE AROUND JANUARY 2003, A SENSOR FOR THE HEATER SHIELD WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT DOAN CHEVY. MARCH 4, 2004 AT 26,345 MILES THE IDLER ARM WAS AGAIN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT DOAN CHEVY. MARCH 29, 2004 THE DRIVERS?? DOOR NEEDED TO BE ALIGNED IT NEVER CLOSED PROPERLY, AS DID THE PASSENGER VISOR NEEDED TO BE ALIGNED BECAUSE IT NEVER WOULD SNAP SHUT, REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT DOAN CHEVY. AFTER BEING STRANDED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD JUST QUIT WHILE DRIVING IT, ON JULY 8, 2005 THE FUEL PUMP MODULATOR WAS REPLACED AT A REPAIR SHOP OWNED BY A PREVIOUS HALLMAN CHEVROLET MECHANIC IN ROCHESTER, NY - SAM LOVETRO AUTOMOTIVE 44 RICHOMD STREET, ROCHESTER, NY 14607. PHONE NUMBER 585-262-4585. NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AS THE WARRANTY IS ONLY FOR 36,000 MILES. THIS COST ME $671.98. FRIDAY, JULY 1ST TO FIND THE PROBLEM, TOOK IT BACK INTO THE SHOP TUESDAY JULY 5TH PICKED IT BACK UP ON FRIDAY JULY 8TH, 2005. TUESDAY, AUGUST 2ND 2005 THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AGAIN! I REFUSE TO PAY ANOTHER PENNY FOR THIS VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED; THERE HAVE BEEN FAR TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS "NEW" VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 49,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ALSO EMAILED DOAN CHEVY WITH MY COMPLAINTSL. I REALLY WOULD HOPE THAT GM WOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCTS AND RESPECT THEIR CUSTOMERS. SO FAR I AM NOT SEEING THIS. I CAN NOT AFFORD ANY MORE MONEY TO BE SPENT ON THIS; I JUST PUT $1000.00 INTO THIS TRUCK IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS. IT HAS HAD A COMPLETE TUNE UP ON JUNE 23, 2005 THIS COST ME $236.30. *JB

THE CABLES THAT HOLD MY 1997 CHEVY TAILGATE UP CONTINUES TO BREAK BECAUSE OF POOR CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL. I WAS STANDING ON THE TAILGATE WHEN BOTH CABLES GAVE WAY BECAUSE OF CORRISION, THE SUDDEN DROP OF THE TAILGATE MADE ME FALL ON THE GROUND.THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH SET OF CABLES THAT I HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE FOR THIS TRUCK.

VEHICLE WHEN PLACED IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, DOES NOT ENGAGE FRONT WHEELS AND IN FACT DOES REMAIN IN ONLY TWO-WHEEL DRIVE. THIS CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE ON SNOWY ROADS PARTICULARLY IN RURAL AREAS, FOR EXAMPLE, THE VEHICLE CAN BECOME UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *JB

I HAVE HAD MY TAHOE IN THE THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. WHERE TO BEGIN. WE HAVE HAD MIDDLE SEAT LATCHES CATCH AND NEED TO BE REPLACED, THE FRONT DASH AND RADIO BUBBLED UP AND PEELED...THAT WAS REPLACED. A COMPONENT IN THE STEERING COLUMN WAS REPLACED WHEN THE CAR WOULD JUST UP AND DIE EVERYTIME YOU TURNED LEFT. THAT WAS REPLACED. THE BACK WINDOW LATCH BROKE WHILE ON VACATION. IT TOO WAS REPLACED. ALL THE SEAT/SEATBELT RECALLS WERE REPAIRED. THEN ON 5/18/03 OUR POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THEY REPLACED IT ON 5/19/03 AT THE DEALER. WE TOOK IT BACK IN ON 5/30 WITH THE COMPLAINT OF IT STILL NOT "FEELING" RIGHT. IT WAS HARD TO TURN TO THE LEFT. THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM. THEN ON 7/13/03 WHILE DRIVING WITH A CAR FULL OF BOYS, THEN THE CAR DIED AND STARTED ON FIRE. THE 2 MEN, BOTH WHOM HAVE BACKGROUNDS AS MECHANICS THAT HELP ME SAID THAT IT THE UNIVERSAL JOINT ON THE POWER STEERING BOX WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE. ONCE IT RUBBED THRU THE INSULATION THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE. THEY HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE THEY WERE ABLE TO TOW THE CAR BECAUSE EVERYTIME THE WHEEL MOVED A LITTLE IT BEGAN SPARKING AGAIN. ALSO, THEY HAD TO END UP TOWING IT FROM THE FRONT BECAUSE THE STEERING COLUMN WOULDN'T LOCK UP WHEN THE IGNITION WAS OFF, SO, THEY COULDN'T TOW IT FROM THE BACK.*AK
