#700177October 28, 1998
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:ABS WARNING LIGHT, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, TIRES
AFTER STARTING THE CAR, THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT WILL STAY ON. THEY WON'T GO OFF UNTIL RESTARTING THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES./ WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP THE CAR WILL JUMP FORWARD AND A LOUD BANG CAN BE FELT AND HEARD FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR./ WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS ON OR WHEN MAKING A TURN, THE HIGH BEAMS CAN N0T BE TURNED ON OR OFF./ THE CAR WILL NOT STAY IN ALIGNMENT. I HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL SETS OF TIRES DUE TO THIS. THE RIDE IS EXTREMELY ROUGH!/ THE PAINT IS JUST PEELING RIGHT OFF THE CAR. ANY TIME ANY MOISTURE GETS ON THE CAR, THE PAINT JUST COMES RIGHT OFF./ THE GAS GUAGE IS WAY OFF. WHEN IT READS HALF A TANK IT IS REALLY AT JUST ABOUT 2 GALLONS. NOTE: IT IS A 12.5 GALLON TANK.
