EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:SWITCH, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE ABS SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED, FUSES ARE CONTINUOSLY BLOWING, SEVERAL ELECTRICAL WIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN THE SHIFT COLUMN, THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS CORRODED, THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES. ALSO THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT FLASHES INTERMITENTLY EVEN THOUGH THE RADIATOR AND TANK ARE FULL. HE ABS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR AT LEAST A YEAR AND THE MECHANIC IS UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE. BRAKES ARE IN WORKING ORDER AND ALL SENSORS ARE GOOD. NOW I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING ON HOT DAYS, THE STARTER CLICKS BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT START, AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT WILL THEN START( ABOUT 5 TRIES), AND TODAY I SEEM TO BE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHILE ENTERING AN INTERSECTION FROM A STOP SIGN I LOST POWER. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AT A TOP OF 2RPM'S AND COULD NOT GET OVER 10 MILES PER HOUR. THE MECHANIC STILL NEED TO GIVE A DIAGNOSIS ON THIS LATEST PROBLEM BUT SIAD IT MAY BE A CIRCUIT PROBLEM SINCE TOUCHING THE UNDERHOOD DRIVER SIDE CIRCUIT BOX CAUSED THE CAR TO STALL AND RESTART.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:SHOCK ABSORBER, SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
OK WE BAUGHT THIS CAR FROM MY INLAWS WHO HAD THE "STRUT-SHOCKS" REPLACED THREE TIMES. I HAVE REPALCED THEM TWICE AND NOW I HAVE A SUSPENSION SPRING THAT IS SHATTERED. I THINK THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND I BELIEVE IT IS PROBALBY A HAZARD. IT LOOKS LIKE FIBERGLASS AND IT IS SPLINTERING TERRIBLY. I WOULDN'T THINK MUCH OF THIS IF I WASN'T REPLACING THE STRUT-SHOCK CONSTANTLY AT A COST OF $500 BUCKS EVERYTIME. IT HAS TORN OUT THE ANTI-LOCK BREAK WIRING TO THE REAR WHEEL. THIS VEHICLE ISN'T OLD ENOUGH TO REQUIRE A MAJOR SPRING TO BE REPLACED. THANK YOU. MARCIA CULHANE
