STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
I WAS GIVEN THIS VEHICLE BY MY MOTHER 2 YEARS AGO, SHE HAD MANY REPAIRS DONE. ONE MAJOR REPAIR HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WENT DEAD WHILE DRIVE IN A RAIN STORM. IN THE 2 YEARS THAT I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE I HAD TO REPLACE THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE WHICH BROKE AND MOST RECENTLY MY 18 YEAR OLD SON WAS TAKING A LEFT TURN GOING APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION BLEW UP. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED FROM MD TO VA, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION MECHANIC CALLED ME HE SAID THAT HE COULDN'T EVEN ROLL THE CAR TO THE LIFT, HE SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION LITERALLY BLEW UP, METAL PARTS IMBEDDED INTO EACH OTHER. THERE WAS NEVER ANY INDICATION THAT THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING A PROBLEM, NO GEAR SLIPPING, NOTHING. I AM GREATFUL THAT MY SON HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY AND THAT HE WAS NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGHER SPEED.

#701818January 3, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
ON THIS VEHICLE AND ANOTHER I OWNED WITH THE 3.3 L ENGINE, THERE IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE SERPENTINE BELT . WHEN IT IS NECESSARY TO DRIVE THROUGH SNOW DRIFTS OF MAYBE 10" TO 12" OR WHEN HIGH WINDS DRIVE SNOW AND/OR SLEET INTO THE ENGINE BAY, THIS IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE BELT TO SLIP OFF THE PULLEYS. THIS CAUSES TOTAL LOSS OF CHARGING FUNCTION, COOLING FUNCTION, POWER STEERING. NATURALLY THERE IS NO HEAT TO KEEP THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR OF FOGGING, THE HEADLIGHTS GO QUITE DIM. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COUNT ON REPLACING THIS BELT AT LEAST ONCE EACH WINTER SEASON, AND SOMTIMES TWICE. ONCE THE BELT IS KNOCKED OFF IT TENDS TO GET DAMAGED TO THE POINT THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE. EACH TIME THIS HAS COST ABOUT $60. THE COST IS NOT THE ISSUE, RATHER, IT IS THE AGGRAVATION.
