SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
ON FEBRUARY 4, 1999 AT 11,416 MILES, I COMPLAINED OF VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE RECEIPT, THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED. ON MAY 20, 1999, I COMPLAINED OF VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING THE MILEAGE AT THIS TIME WAS 19,394. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE RECEIPT, THE FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACED. AGAIN ON JULY 16, 1999, AT 26,975 MILES, I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR REPAIR A THIRD TIME FOR VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE RECEIPT, THE FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACED AND THE REAR DRUMS RESURFACED. EACH TIME THE PROBLEM SUBSIDED FOR A WHILE BUT THEN RETURNED. ON SEPTEMBER 9-10, 1999, THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED A "TECHNICAL BULLETIN" WITH SUGGESTIONS FOR ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. THIS TIME, THEY REPLACED THE BRAKES AND ADDED SOME KIND OF BUSHINGS TO THE STEERING SYSTEM. NOW I AM EXPERIENCING A CONTINUOUS LOW-LEVEL VIBRATION AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS. IN ADDITION, ON SEPTEMBER 16TH, 1999, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY HEADLIGHTS. WHEN I USE MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL, THE LIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY GO TO "BRIGHT". IN ADDITION, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF WHEN THE SWITCH IS IN THE "OFF" POSITION.

#709525August 2, 1999
SUSPENSION:FRONT
I NOTICED A VIBRATION DURING BRAKE APPLICATION AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAD THE TIRES ROTATED, THEN BALANCED THEN FRONT ROTORS TURNED, THEN FRONT ROTORS REPLACED, THEN FRONT WHEELS RE-BALANCED. I WAS THEN TOLD OF A "NEW" SERVICE BULLITEN COVERING THE FRONT END LOWER SWING ARM REPLACEMENT. AFTER WORKING ON MY VEHICLE AN ENTIRE DAY (FOLLOWING WAITING A MONTH TO GET THE PART AND SCHEDULE MX) I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR ALREADY HAS THE "NEW" BUSHING AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. NOW I HEAR A "CLANG" IN THE FRONT END WHEN DECELERATING OR ACCELERATING AND CAN FEEL IT THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. AND OF COURSE, THE FRONT END STILL VIBRATES AT HIGH WAY SPEEDS.
