#720607March 26, 2000
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER, STEERING:RACK AND PINION
I QUESTION THE NEED FOR A NEW FUEL TANK I PAID FOR - 594.31 PARTS AND LABOR. THE TANK ONLY LEAKED WHEN IT WAS FULL, AND WHEN I QUESTIONED THE SERVICE REP, HE REPLIED THAT THE "TANK IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND CAN CRACK JUST FROM THE SLOSHING OF FUEL." NOT A GOOD REASON. AND NOW I HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM I DESCRIBED TO THE SERVICE REP. I THOUGHT THE "KNOWN PROBLEM" WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WAS FIXED WHEN THE DEALER REPLACED A WINDSHIELD THAT HAD BEEN SCRATCHED BY "IMPULSIVE WIPERS." NOT SO. THEY STILL MISBEHAVE AND I'M TOLD IT WILL BE $280 TO REPAIR, OUT OF WARRANTY. THREE RACK AND PINIONS RIGHT OFF THE BAT. I AM TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE QUALIFIES AS A LEMON - BUT I LIKE IT AND JUST WANT TO BE TREATED FAIRLY AS TO NEED FOR REPAIRS AND THEIR COST.
