Consumer Description

SUN ROOF- PROBLEM EXISTED AT TIME OF SALE, DEALER AWARE THAT PARTS WERE DEFECTIVE AND NO REPLACEMENTS AVAILABLE. STILL NOT FIXED AS OF 5/24/1999. CAR DRIFTED TO THE LEFT ON FLAT ROADS AND CROWNED HIGHWAYS-RIGHT LANE. DRIFT WAS SEVERE. FULL LANE CHANGE WITHIN 300 FT OR LESS. DEALER RESPONSE- ALL COMPONENTS SET TO MANUFACTURER'S SPECS. NOTHING HE CAN DO. LAST TRIP IN MARCH 1999 DEALER NOTICED WEAR ON TIRES AND ROTATED THEM. ALSO ORDERED POWER STEERING PUMP AND A STEERING IDLER ARM. CAR DOES NOT DRIFT ANYMORE. FRONT END HAS HAD A VIBRATION FROM DAY 1. DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO NOTICE IT OF FIND OUT THE CAUSE. CHANGED TIRES, ROTATED TIRES, CHECKED ON BRAKE DISCS, ETC. STILL NO FULL SOLUTION. VIBRATION IS LESS THE FIRST NOTICED BUT STILL PRESENT AT 5/24/99. SOME WAS CORRECTED 12/08/1997, MORE REMAINS. LIGHTS DO NOT SEEM TO BE BRIGHT ENOUGH OR THE THROW PATTERN IS WRONG. LEAVES BLIND, BARK AREAS IN FRONT OF CAR ESPECIALLY THE HIGH BEAMS. DEALER RESPONSE: LIGHTS ARE SET ACCORDING TO SPECS. THEY SEEM TO THROW LIGHTS MORE UPWARD-SHORT RANGE AND TO THE SIDES.
