SUSPENSION:FRONT
FROM WEEK OF PURCHASE, FRONT END HAS VIBRATED VIGOROUSLY AT 65+ MPH. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO ALIGN PROPERLY. AFTER SECOND VISIT, DEALER SAID PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FIXED. I HAD TO REPLACE ORIGINAL TIRES AT 18,000 MILES DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT CONTINUED EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR, AND WONDER IF VIBRATIONS WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT IN OTHER COMPONENT FAILURE. *AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE INCHES OF ITS TRAVEL, STICKS SO THAT WHEN YOU TRY TO GENTLY ACCELERATE, YOU ARE FORCED TO APPLY EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO GET PAST THE "STICKING POINT" CAUSING THE CAR TO CHARGE FORWARD. DEALER HAS ALREADY REMOVED CARBON DEPOSITS FROM THROTTLE BODY (1/11/01), BUT PROBLEM IS NOW BACK AND IS SLOWLY GETTING WORSE. I AM CONCERNED THAT UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND/OR LOSS OF CONTROL COULD RESULT FROM THIS PROBLEM. *AK
