POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I HAVE 3 DIFFERENT COMPLAINTS. 1. THE ROTORS ON MY CAR HAD TO BE REPLACED 3 TIMES BEFORE I HAD DRIVEN 36,000 MILES. THEY WOULD WEAR UNEVENLY, AND CAUSE NOISE AND VIBRATIONS WHENEVER THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. 2. THE TRANSMISSION LEAKED FROM THE PAN, AND THE GASKET HAD TO BE REPLACED 2 OR 3 TIMES.THE TRANSMISSION STILL LEAKS. AND THE BRAKES NEED FIXING AGAIN, BUT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36,000 MILES. 3.WHENEVER THE ENGINE IS UNDER ACCERLATION, MY AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT COOL. THE VENTS CLOSE OFF PREVENTING COLD AIR FROM COMING THROUGH. HOW MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO THESE?*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY
I DON'T HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT A SPECIFIC MAKE OR MODEL...I HAVE AN OVERALL COMPLAINT ABOUT HOW THIN CARS ARE TODAY AND HOW MUCH THEY ARE NOT PROTECTING THE OCCUPANTS. MY BROTHER WAS KILLED 2 WEEKS AGO AFTER HYDROPLANING AT ABOUT 35 MPH. I KNOW HEAVIER VEHICLES USE MORE GAS BUT AREN'T LIVES WORTH IT? I KNOW THAT AS A NATION WE HAVE BECOME VERY MONEY CONSCIOUS AND GAS MILEAGE IS A BIGGIE BUT EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD SOMEONE KILLED IN A SENSELESS ACCIDENT MIGHT FEEL DIFFERENTLY AFTERWARD. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT IF ANYTHING IS BEING DONE IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE TO CHANGE THE TREND AND MAKE CARS MORE PROTECTIVE.
