I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HWY. WHEN WE REACHED 65 MPH LIKE A LOT OF THESE OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING BUT IT WAS MY DISTRIBUTOR THAT WENT OUT. SINCE I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION IT WOULD START AND DRIVE BUT EVERY TIME IT REACHED 65 MPH OR 3400 RPM THE ENGINE WOULD SPUTTER AND STALL OUT. ALSO I HAVE HAD TO PUT A SECOND ENGINE IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO A TIMING BELT SLIPPING AND BREAKING THE LOWER UNIT OFF THE CAR. THE AIR CONDITIONER PULLEY HAD 5 SCREWS BREAK OFF CAUSING THE A/C TO BLOW OUT, I HAD TO REPLACE IT . THE WINDOW PULLEY SYSTEM CABLE BROKE CAUSING THE MANUAL WINDOW TO NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN ON DRIVERS SIDE. ALSO THE WIRING GOING TO THE HEADLIGHTS ARE MESSED UP, THE LIGHTS WORK BUT YOU HAVE TO RAISE THE HOOD AND MESS WITH THE BACK OF THE HALOGEN TO GET IT TO COME ON. THERE IS AN UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF RUST ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR ON THE FRAME. MY FUEL GAUGE WHEN FULL ONLY READS 3/4. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER HAVING THE CAR A SPRING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT BEGAN POKING ME IN THE BACK. I GOT A SEAT FROM A JUNK YARD. I HAVE PAID FOR ALL THE REPAIRS ON THE CAR SO FAR AND AM LOOKING FOR EITHER RETRIBUTION OR SOMEONE TO HELP WITH THESE PROBLEMS FROM RE-OCCURRING. MY INCINT DATE IS WHEN THING BEGAN TO HAPPEN AND TILL THIS DAY I AM FIGHTING BATTLES LIKE THE TACHOMETER BEGINS JUMPING AROUND WHEN RUNNING AT CONSTANT SPEEDS W/O ENGINE REVVING OR ANYTHING. ONE MORE THING THE HAZE ON THE WINDOW HAS CAUSED IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. *NM

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THE FRONT END WAS MAKING VERY LOUD NOISES WHICH BECAME WORSE WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPY ROADS. I HAD ONE TIE ROD REPLACED A FEW YEARS AGO BUT THE NOISE WAS ONLY SLIGHTLY BETTER AND NO ONE COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. THE NOISE GOT SEVERE AND I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND I HAD TO HAVE THE LEFT AND RIGHT TIE RODS, THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE STABILIZER BARS AND THE DRIVER SIDE UPPER CONTROL ARM REPLACED. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR IN APPROXIMATELY 2000 AT WHICH TIME I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SUPPOSEDLY INSPECTED IT AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND NO PARTS WERE REPLACED. I AM NOW HAVING THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR THAT ALL SEEM TO BE RELATED TO THE RECALL REGARDING THE FRONT SUSPENSION. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKING WHICH NOW NEEDS TO BE FIXED. AND ON RAINY DAYS IT HAS BECOME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE FRONT WINDOW DEFOGGER DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK PROPERLY AND THE INSIDE OF THE CAR FOGS UP SEVERELY CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. *NM

THE GAS PEDAL IS STIFF. UPON QUICK ACCELERATION, THE THROTTLE IS STUCK WIDE OPEN, MAKING THE ENGINE RACE TO MAXIMUM RPM'S AND THE CAR CAN REACH IT'S MAXIMUM SPEED. THE GAS PEDAL HAS TO BE KICKED REPEATEDLY, TO GET THE CAR TO DECCELARATE. THIS HAS OCCURED MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS, BUT WE COULD NEVER DUPLICATE ON DEMAND. I CAN NOW DUPLICATE IT ON DEMAND. I WONDER IF ANY ONE ELSE HAS REPORTED THIS PROBLEM WITH 1995-1998 GALANTS ?*AK

WHILE ACCELERATING TO ENTER THE FREEWAY, THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED (IT WAS NOT TURNED ON) AND THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE UP TO 80+ MPH. I PRESSED THE OFF BUTTON FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL, BRAKED AND TRIED OTHER MEASURES BUT NOTHING WAS SLOWING THE CAR DOWN. I PUT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL TO TRY AND SLOW THE CAR DOWN BUT THAT JUST MADE A LOUD NOISE AND CAUSED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. I FINALLY HAD TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, IT AGAIN TOOK OFF AND STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN.*AK

BALL JOINT DAMAGE IS DUE TO BAD BOOTS. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THESE EX-RAYED TO PROVE THEIR INCOMPETANCE TO DO THEIR JOB PROTECTING THE BALL JTS.
