#716141December 16, 1999
SUSPENSION
PROBLEM: VEHICLE WANDERS AND REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTIVE STEERING INPUT FROM THE DRIVER. NO MATTER WHAT THE ROAD CONDITION( WET/DRY/FLAT/CROWNED), THE CAR WILL " DRIFT" AND OR PULL TO THE SIDE WITH OUT ANY APPARENT PATTERN, CONSEQUENTLY, INTENSE CONCENTRATION IS REQUIRED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. ALSO, THE EFFORT TO STEER RIGHT/ LEFT IS VARIABLE, AGAIN WITH OUT A PATTERN. THE CAR IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH SPEED-SENSITIVE STEERING. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE RECORDS, THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE SAME DIFFICULTY. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED ON A REGULAR BASIS; THE FRONT BRAKE ASSEMBLIES HAVE BEEN REPLACED, AND I HAVE PRECISELY ADJUSTED THE TIRE PSI ALL TO NO AVAIL. I HAD A 1996 EAGLE VISION THAT HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS, THOUGH I DID NOT REPORT IT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *AK

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
