ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
WITHIN IN THE LAST 2 YEARS, THE COOLING SYSTEM HAS A HAD AN OFF-AND-ON ANTIFREEZE LEAK. PARTS REPLACED INCLUDE THE RADIATOR, BOTH THE UPPER AND LOWER RADIATOR HOSES, THE WATER PUMP, THE THERMOSTAT, AND THE FREEZE PLUG. A LEAK STILL EXISTS, CAUSING ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT SOMEWHERE NOT YET DETERMINED.

THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED AN ODOR ASSOCIATED WITH LEAKING ANITFREEZE. 3 DIFFERENT TRIPS TO MAKE REPAIRS, NO ACTION ON FIRST TRIP, SECOND TRIP, DEALER REPLACED THERMOSTAT HOUSING, THIRD TRIP, DEALER REPLACED RADIATOR. VEHICLE STILL HAS ODOR AT DIFFERENT TIMES. SEAT BELTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES ON RIGHT HAND SIDE AND ONCE ON LEFT HAND SIDE DUE TO BELTS GETTING PINCHED IN HARDTOP DOORS AND DAMAGING BELTS. BELT ON RIGHT HAND HAS HAD FAILURE OF SEAT BELT INERTIA LOCK DURING HARD STOP. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT VARIOUS TIMES, AND AT THE SAME TIME THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER FAILED MOMENTARILY. FIX WAS TO CLEAN AND GREASE CONNECTORS. SYSTEM IS STARTING TO REPEAT SAME PROBLEM, AND DEALER CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. STEERING COLUMN LOWER BUSHING HAS DEVELOPED NOISE, AFTER RAIN OR ONSET OF COLD WEATHER. DEALER STATES FIX IS TO LUBE BUSHING, BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS AFTER 4 DEALER VISITS. REAR AXLE SEALS ON LEFT HAND AND RIGHT HAND WERE LEAKING, RESULTING IN REAR WHEEL LOCKUP WITH MODERATE BRAKE APPLICATION ON DAMP PAVEMENT OR SANDY ROAD SURFACES. DEALER REPLACED BOTH SEALS, BUT NOTHING WAS SAID ABOUT POSSIBLE BRAKE LINING CONTAMINATION OR CLEANING. VEHICLE HAS HAD REPEATED WATER LEAKAGE FROM AROUND WINDSHIELD ON LEFT AND RIGHT HAND SIDES, RIGHT HAND HARDTOP DOOR HINGE ATTACH BOLTS, THRU SEALS ON COWL AND AROUND DOORS. DEALER HAS REPLACED ALL SEALS, RTV'D GAPS, AND INSTALLED UPDATED DOOR SEALS, BUT VEHICLE STILL LEAKS. ALSO, CARPETS WERE WATER DAMAGED IN FRONT PASSENGER AREA DUE TO WATER LEAKAGE FROM VEHICLE BODY AND AIRCONDITIONING SYSTEM. VEHICLE HAS BEEN KEPT FOR UP TO TWO DAYS ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS FOR WATER LEAKS AND MULTIPLE REPAIR COMPLAINTS.*AK

PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
WHEN THE DEFROST STEAMS THE WINDOWS THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WATER/MOISTURE THAT ENTERS THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. CREATES A VISIBILITY HAZARD, FOGS ALL WINDOWS. WATER ALSO DRAINS ONTO FLOORBOARDS. PARKING BRAKE DISENGAGING IS VERY INTERMITTENT. NEVER CAN TELL IF IT WILL HOLD. RELYING SOLELY ON REVERSE GEAR FOR HOLDING VEHICLE. HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE WITH FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM. GOES ALL THE WAY UP WHEN FILLED, BUT WILL NOT GO BELOW 1/4 OF A TANK. CONSISTENT PROBLEM. SHIFTING INTO FIRST OFTEN REQUIRES FIRST SHIFTING INTO FIFTH THEN BACK TO 1ST IN ORDER TO ENGAGE. OH, FORGOT TO MENTION, PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK, INTERMITTENT ALSO. *AK
