LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNIT
PURCHASED CAR IN EARLY JANUARY 2000. PROBLEMS WITH HOOD LATCH NOT RELEASING. SERVICING OF VEHICLE THREE TIMES TO RESOLVE AND WILL INTERMITTENTLY CONTINUE. BOTH TURN SIGNALS FAILED WITHIN FIRST 6 MONTHS OF OWNING CAR. RECALL WAS IN PLACE BUT DEALER DID NOT REPLACE UNTIL UNITS FAILED. LATCH ON VEHICLE FAILED WITHIN FIRST WEEK OF OWNERSHIP IN COLD WEATHER. BROUGHT INTO DEALER THREE TIMES TO RESOLVE. DID NOT KNOW AT THE TIME THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE AND DEALER SAID NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. AFTER THIRD TIME, DEMANDED ACTION AND THEN THEY SAID, "OH, IT'S ON RECALL" AND REPLACED LATCH. PROBLEM WAS WOULD NOT WORK IN COLD WEATHER, WOULD FREEZE UP SO THE LATCH WAS EITHER STUCK WHEN CLOSED OR IF YOU OPENED UP THE REAR DOOR, IT WOULD NOT CLOSE. NEXT ITEM WAS FUEL VAPOR LEAK INTO CAR. DEALER FIXED BUT CREATED PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. GAUGE WOULD NOT INDICATE LESS THAN 6 GALLONS. RAN OUT OF GAS THREE TIMES BEFORE FIGURING THAT OUT. DEALER REPLACED PART/ALL OF LINE OR SENSOR IN FUEL SYSTEM.*AK
