SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
THERE WAS A VIBRATION AND BRAKE PULSATION. THE FRONT ROTORS WERE INSPECTED AND WERE FOUND WARPED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TWO FRONT TIRES TO ELIMINATE THE VIBRATION IN WHICH THE PROBLEM REMAINED. THE TIRES WERE CHANGED 11 TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. THE VIBRATION REMAINED AND WAS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED OR ON BENDS AND REMAINED THROUGHOUT THE RANGE OF DRIVING SPEEDS. THE DRIVE TRAIN WAS THOUGHT TO BE THE PROBLEM PER CONRAD'S(SERVICE DEALER). THERE ALSO WERE DANGEROUS FUMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, THE FUEL GAUGE HAD BECOME INOPERATIVE, AND THERE WAS PREMATURE RUSTING IN THE SEAMS OF THE ENGINE. *SCC

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
THE GAS PEDAL IS STIFF. UPON QUICK ACCELERATION, THE THROTTLE IS STUCK WIDE OPEN, MAKING THE ENGINE RACE TO MAXIMUM RPM'S AND THE CAR CAN REACH IT'S MAXIMUM SPEED. THE GAS PEDAL HAS TO BE KICKED REPEATEDLY, TO GET THE CAR TO DECCELARATE. THIS HAS OCCURED MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS, BUT WE COULD NEVER DUPLICATE ON DEMAND. I CAN NOW DUPLICATE IT ON DEMAND. I WONDER IF ANY ONE ELSE HAS REPORTED THIS PROBLEM WITH 1995-1998 GALANTS ?*AK
