STEERING
MOUNTING SUPPORT BUSHINGS TO "RACK & PINION" BECOME BRITTLE AND ALLOW MOVEMENT OF RACK WHICH REDUCES STEERING RESPONSE. DURING COLD WEATHER THE PROBLEM IS ALSO NOTICEABLE AS A SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL 'BACK AND FORTH'. THE HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE IS DIRECTLY BELOW THE RACK AND THAT PIPE SHOULD BE INSULATED TO REDUCE THE HEAT TRANSFER TO THE BUSHINGS THAT ANCHOR THE RACK (ABOVE). *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
WHEN I WAS IN MY CAR ONE DAY, I PARKED AND TRIED TO GET OUT. THE DOOR STUCK AND I THINK THIS WAS BECAUSE THE RUBBER STUCK TO THE DOOR.. IT TOOK ME FIFTEEN MINUTE TO GET OUT OF MY CAR. I HAD TO LIFT UP THE BOTTOM OF THE NOW DETACHED INSIDE PLASTIC FRAME IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF MY CAR. IN ABOUT A YEAR< THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER DOOR> MY DAUGHTER TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE DOOR GOT STUCK... SHE PUSHED THE DOOR AND THE PLASTIC INSIDE FRAME DETACHED FROM THE DOOR THE SAME WAY THE DRIVER'S SIDE DID. NOW WE MUST LIFT THAT DOOR TOO.. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME AND IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY AND WE HAVE TO GET OUT, THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN. IF THERE WAS A FIRE OR CRASH.. I MET SOMEONE WITH THE EXACT YEAR AND MODEL CARE AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM... PLEASE HELP ME! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS DRIVING MY CONCORDE HOME FROM WORK A WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND AS I TURNED ON THE RAMP TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP MY CAR JUST QUIT RUNNING, NO SIGN OF A PROBLEM AT ALL WITH IT BEING SUCH A LARGE VEHICLE IT IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE STEERING. I WAS REALLY THANKFUL THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE MAIN HIGHWAY BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE MOST OF THE WAY HOME AND COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AND SERIOUSLY HURT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE CUSTOMERS CAN DO TO GET REIMBURSED FULLY OR PARTIALLY FOR THE REPAIRS SINCE THEY KNOW THAT THEY HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINES. I HAD TO HAVE MY ENGINE REPLACED AND SO I PAID FOR AN ENGINE & LABOR. ALSO THIS PAST SUMMER MINE AND A FRIEND OF MINES AIR CONDITIONER WENT OUT, ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG. PLEASE E-MAIL ME AND LET ME KNOW WHAT WE AS THE CUSTOMERS CAN DO TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR TO GET OUR VEHICLES FIXED. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER. *TR
