Consumer Description

THE RACK AND PINION HAS FAILED TWICE. I HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER OF A BUZZING AND/OR GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN AT LEAST 2 OTHER TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND AM GOING TO TAKE IT IN THIS THURSDAY (10/21/99) AGAIN FOR THE SAME BUZZING NOISE. EACH TIME I TAKE IT IN IT IS THERE FOR A MINIMUM OF 2 DAYS IF NOT LONGER. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY DUE TO THE STEERING COLUMN NOISE. THIS THURSDAY I WILL ALSO TAKE IT IN FOR SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL FAILURE - THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES NOT START ON ME. *AK
