TAIL/TURN LIGHT BULBS CONSTANTLY BURNING. REPLACED THEM MANY TIMES. WHEN REPLACED CAN NOTICE ELECTRICAL FIRE SMELL AND LIGHT BULBS PLASTIC BASE IS MELTED. HAVE MADE AN SCHEDULE TO TAKE TO DEALER, BUT NOTICED MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME MATTER, FROM OTHER CONSUMERS. IS ANYTHING BEING DONE? IS THERE A FIX FOR IT? *JB
PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE'S TURN SIGNALS BEING BLOWN OUT.*MR THE VEHICLE'S TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS HAVE BLOWN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER CONTINUED TO REPAIR THEM, THEY CONTINUE TO BLOW. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES SHE WAS SOLD A LEMON. *NM
WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE STALLED. CONSUMER RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND TOOK IT TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC THAT COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE RESET AND RESET IT. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK
MY CAR HAS BEEN DYING AT RED LIGHTS AND WHILE I AM DRIVING IT! IT TAKES SEVERAL TRIES BEFORE THE CAR WILL RESTART. IT IS ONLY 9 MONTHS OLD. MY CAR DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I CAN BRING IT IN BUT THE WILL PROBABLY NOT BE ABLE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM. THEREFORE, THEY WILL PROBABLY NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR ANYTHING. *AK
THE TIRES SHAKE AND VIBRATE AROUND SIXTY MILES/HR. SO I TOOK THEM TO SAM'S CLUB TO THEIR TIRE CENTER IN DECEMBER OF 2003. THEY ROTATED AND BALANCED THE TIRES. I DROVE THE CAR FOR ONE MONTH, THEN THE TIRES STARTED DOING THE SAME THING OVER AGAIN. ABOUT ONE MONTH LATER, I WENT BACK TO SAM'S CLUB AND THEY BALANCED MY TIRES AGAIN. SO HERE IT IS MARCH OF 2004, THE TIRES ARE DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN SHAKING AND VIBRATING AROUND SIXTY MILES/HR. I CALLED GOODYEAR , THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN. THEY LOOKED AT THE TIRES, AND SAID THAT THE REAR TIRES WERE WORN ON THE INSIDE, AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE TIRES FIXED. THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE SPECIFIC ORIGIN OF THE VIBRATION. BASICALLY, FOR A BRAND NEW CAR, WE SHOULD NOT HAVE THESE...
WITHIN A WEEK OF RECIEVING MY CAR IT BEGAN TO STALL WHEN COMMING TO A STOP OTHERWISE IT WOULD IDLE WRONG. IF IT DID NOT DIE IT WOULD IDLE HIGH. *AK
THE TURN SIGNAL AND BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK. THE MECHANIC FROM THE DEALER SHIP NOTED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SOCKET WAS MELTED. FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *PH
