Consumer Description

AT 77,230 THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS WORN AND ABOUT TO BREAK. ALSO A WEEK OR TWO LATER AT 77,300 MILES THE ENGINE SEIZED WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP THINKS THAT A HOUSING RING CAME LOOSE AND WELDED ON THE CYLINDER. THE ENGINE WAS INSTALLED, BUT DID RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHIPPED TO THE FACTORY FOR FURTHER SERVICE. *JB
