ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
I WAS TRAVELING TO WORK AT 4:30A.M. ON 10/14/99. UPON THE ENTRANCE TO I-696 ( ABOUT 2MILES FROM MY RESIDENCE) THE TEMPERATURE GAGE RAN HIGH AND THE HIGH TEMMP LIGHT CAME ON UPON THE ENTRANCE RAMP. I DROVE APPROX 4 MILES TO MY MOTHERS RESIDENCE WHICH WAS ON THE WAY TO WORK.. AT THAT HOUR I MUST DEPEND AND RELY ON THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. THANK GOODNESS MY MOTHER LIVES ON THE WAY TO MY JOB 55 MILES FROM MY RESIDENCE. WHEN I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT APPROX. 7AM (WHEN THEY OPEN) THE GENTLEMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER SAID IT PROBABLY WASN'T A HOSE, ( WHICH I THOUGHT BECAUSE OF THE COOLANT LOSS AND OVER HEATING) BUT INSTEAD A WATER PUMP BECAUSE IT IS SO COMMON IN THAT MAKE OF VEHICLE. THIS DISTURBS ME BECAUSE IF HE KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF SO MANY REPAIRS WHY NOT A RECALL ON THE PART? $:30 AM IS A SCARRY TIME TO BREAK DOWN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I PAID FOR THE REPAIRS BECAUSE I NEED MY VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK. IT WAS 197.60 FOR LABOR, 1.60 FOR A SEAL, 11.60 FOR COOLANT, AND 94.50 FOR THE PUMP,15.00 MISC CHARGE, AND 7.36 IN TAX TOTAL WAS 327.66. I DO HAVE THE PART AND THE RECEIPT OF THE BILL IF YOU NEED IT . I DID NOT RECEIVE MY CAR BACK UNTILL 6PM I WAS TOLD IT TOOK SO LONG BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE AN APPOINTMENT. I WISH I COULD PLAN AND MAKE APPOINTMENTS FOR EMERGENCIES.

STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
THIS IS AN ONGOING, INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT STARTED APPROX. 6-12 MONTHS AGO AND HAS STEADILY WORSENED. THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES RAPIDLY UP AND DOWN, AND GENERATES A LOUD MACHINE-GUN LIKE NOISE. THIS OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AND LASTS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 0 - 15 SECONDS. IT CAN OCCUR ON SMOOTH AS WELL AS BUMPY ROADS. IT GENERALLY HAPPENS ON LOCAL ROADS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 35 - 40 M.PH. DON'T KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHING BRACKETS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NO. 99V215000. HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION OF RECALL, BUT AM ANXIOUSLY AWAITING NOTICE SO THAT I CAN BRING IN MY CAR TO THE DEALER ONLY ONCE TO LOOK AT BOTH PROBELMS.
