VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN I AM IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC AFTER 30-45 MINUTES OF TIME THE ENGINE IDLES VERY FAST. I HAVE TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE VERY HARD TO KEEP VEHICLE STOPPED. WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE ENGINE RPM READS 1100 (IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT OCCURRING IT IS USUALLY 750 RPM IN IDLE OR WHEN STOPPED) WITHOUT PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CARS DRIVES AT 30 MPH (ALMOST AS IF IT IN CRUISE CONTROL MODE EVEN THOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT ENGAGED) WHEN THIS IS OCCURRING AND I COME TO A STOP AND PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK THE ENGINE RACES TO 3000 RPM AND SEEMS STUCK AT THAT LEVEL. I RECENTLY SERVICED THE VEHICLE INCLUDING THROTTLE BOX CLEANING BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THE "COMPUTER" DOES NOT SHOW A TROUBLE CODE. THEY RECOMMEND THAT I BRING IT IN WHEN IT IS OCCURRING. THE PROBLEM IS NOT COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE AND WHEN IT DOES OCCUR IT IS USUALLY IN THE 5:00-7:00 PM DRIVE TIME, THE DEALER IS CLOSED. I HAVE ASKED THEN TO ALSO LOOK AT THE THROTTLE SENSOR WHICH THEY SAY THEY WILL. I FEEL THAT THE SITUATION COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AS THERE IS A SENSE THAT I AM NOT IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE'S SPEED WHEN THIS OCCURS. THANK YOU. *NLM

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CHROME "PLATED" (THEY ARE REALLY PLASTIC COVERS) INSIDE DOOR HANDLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS PREMATURELY WORN OFF, LEAVING EXTREMELY SHARP SHARDS ON THE INSIDE OF THE HANDLE. WHEN AN UNSUSPECTING PASSENGER OPENS THE DOOR WITHOUT CAUTION, A SEVERE LACERATION OF THE HAND CAM OCCUR. VERY DANGEROUS, THIS HAS HAPPENED IN MY I30 ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS IN SPITE OF MY WARNINGS TO PASSENGERS. *NLM

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
VEHICLE ROTORS HAVE WARPED FOUR TIMES NEEDING RESURFACING EACH TIME. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERY FIFTEEN THOUSAND MILES. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. THE FIRST TIME THEY WARPED WAS AT 15,281 MILES,THEN AT 32,555,49,767 NOW THE PROBLEM HAS SURFACED AGAIN AT 61,434 MILES. DOES THE RESURFACING OF THE ROTORS COMPROMISE THE STRENGTH OF THE ROTORS? HOW MANY TIMES CAN THIS BE DONE?

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE ABS SYSTEM KICKED IN, BUT DID NOT PROPERLY SLOW THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS. THE SAME FAILURE OCCURS TWICE MORE OVER THE NEXT MONTH. SO WE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPORTED THAT THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. THE SAME FAILURE HAPPENED AGAIN APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AFTER THAT, AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP, HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP MAINTAINS THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. DT

IN COLD WEATHER (30F) OR BELOW THE MIDDLE AND LOWER PORTION OF THE WINDSHIELD MAKES A RATTELING NOISE IN EVERY BUMP REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE OR THE DEGREE OF ROAD BUMP I.E. MINOR AS WELL AS MAJOR ROAD BUMPS. FIRST TIME WHEN I TOOK TO THE DEALER HE WAS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE IT. NOW I HAVE TO TAKE IT FOR THE SECOND TIME AND THE DEALER IS WORKING ON IT FOR THE LAST 3 DAYS WITHOUT ANY CLEAR INDICATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM OR MENTIONING THE TIME OF VEHICLE RETURN. DT

#768590October 18, 2002
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
THIS ISN'T REALLY A COMPLAINT BUT A NOTIFICATION: WHILE DRIVING ON I-10E IN BATON ROUGE THE WINDOW SIMPLY EXPLODED INWARD, (WITH A LOUD BOOM) SHOWERING MY LEFT SHOULDER AND LAP WITH TINY BITS OF GLASS. THE WINDOW WAS NOT STRUCK WITH A ROCK OR OBJECT AND TEMPERATURES WERE IN UPPER 70'S. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER AND LOOKED FOR A BULLET EXIT-HOLE THINKING THE LOUD BANG WAS A GUNSHOT. AFTER CALMING DOWN, I REMOVED AS MUCH GLASS AS POSSIBLE AND IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A REPLACEMENT. THE LOUD "BOOM" MADE COULD EASILY HAVE STARTLED A DRIVER, IT STARTLED ME THAT'S FOR SURE, RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE. THANKFULLY I-10 TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AT THE TIME. JUST WANTED TO GET THIS ON RECORD IN CASE THERE'S SOME PATTERN FOR THIS OCCURENCE. BY THE WAY, THE DEALERSHIP WAS VERY HELPFUL GETTING ME FIXED UP. DT
