POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
HI, I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS. THE TRANSMISSION ONLY LASTED FOR 1 OR IF WE WERE LUCKY 2 YEARS. NOW WE ALL READY PUT THREE OF THEM IN THE CAR IN THE PAST 4 YEARS, TWO WERE NEW AND ONE WAS USED. NOW I KNOW THAT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A LOT OF MONEY TO SOME PEOPLE BUT WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO SUPPORT THREE KIDS THAT'S A LOT. WELL MY COMPLAINT IS THAT WHY ARE WE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS A DEFECT THAT WHEN THEY BUILT THIS CAR THAT THEY WERE TEST CARS .AND THEY SAID THAT AS LONG AS I OWN THIS CAR I WILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM OVER AND OVER. AND THE DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS THE ONE IN LIVERPOOL NEW YORK . SO PLEASE IF YOU CAN HELP LET ME NOW WHAT I CAN DO. THANK YOU. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
WHEN EVER I CRANK THE CAR UP IN THE MORNING OR AFTERNOON AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR A WHILE THE EXHAUST SMELLS LIKE BAD EGGS. THE RADIO/CD WAS REPLACE THREE TIMES ALREADY AND THE CD PLAYER STILL SOUNDS STATICTY WHEN PLAYIND DISC AND THE SPEAKERS POP WHEN THE RADIO IS COMPLETELY OFF. ALSO WHEN EVER SOME GETS IN AND OUT OF THE CAR THEY GET SHOCKED BY IT TO THE POINT WHERE U CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE SPARK FROM THE SHOCK. AND WHEN THE CAR IS JUST SITING RUNNING U CAN FEEL THE CAR SHAKE LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO CUT OFF.

STEERING:COLUMN
THE SUSPENSION/STEERING FOUNDATION HAS A PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT LOCATE. AN ALIGNMENT IS NEEDED EVERY 2/3 MONTHS(NOT ALWAYS RIDING ON ROUGH ROADS). STEERING FEELS OUT OF CONTROL, HAD 4 ALIGNMENTS DONE, 2 SETS OF 4 BRAND NEW TIRES PLACED ON THE CAR IN A 2YR. PERIOD- THE STEERING & SUSPENSION FEELS OUT OF CONTROL(ALMOST CAUSED TWO ACCIDENTS) AND THE DEALER CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG...ALSO NOISE COMING FROM FRONT PASSENGER SIDE THAT THEY CANNOT FIND EITHER...........I SEEN A LOT OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS SENT ALREADY!
