STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS, VISIBILITY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING AREA THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT THE STEERING COLUMN AND BRAKES LOCKED UP. THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT A POWER STEERING PUMP WAS INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING COLUMN IS STILL WHINING AND THE BRAKES ARE STILL GRINDING AND THE STARTER IS STILL HESITATING. *NM THE FRONT AND BACK BUMPERS SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL HAD A LOT OF PLAY, THE WINDSHIELD CONTAINED NUMEROUS CHIPS, THE WINDOWS SQUEALED WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING, THERE WAS A CONSTANT WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE BRAKES WOULD LOCK UP WHEN IN MOTION, AND THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER PROPERLY ALIGNED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE WHINING, BRAKES AND THE STARTER, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER WAS LATER TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAD AN AIR BUBBLE. THE ENGINE WAS ALSO SLOW TO START AND WOULD CLICK AT TIMES. *SC *JB

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, A WINDING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED. THE CONSUMER TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO. THE DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT. THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. THE DRIVER TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTARTED IT. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT A STEERING PUMP WAS NEEDED, BUT THE BRAKES AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONSUMER INFORMED THE MECHANIC THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE. THE DEALER AND THE MECHANIC WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *JB
