#770078 | November 27, 2002

VEHICLE WAS SERVICED ABOUT 2 YRS AGO BECAUSE IT STARTED LOSING POWER AND WAS RUNNING ROUGH. THE POWER WINDOW ON DRIVER SIDE STOPPED FUNCTIONING. BRAKES GRIND WHEN WET EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED. NOTICED AROUND THIS TIME THAT THE CAR TEMPERATURE GAUGE SOMETIMES CREEPED UP ABOVE NORMAL. IT SEEMED TO BE LOSING ANTI-FREEZE. THE HEATER STOPPED WORKING. I REFILLED THE ANTI-FREEZE. IT SEEMED TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT IT SLOWLY RETURNED. VEHICLE WAS ALSO VERY SLOWLY LOSING OIL. LAST MONTH (10/02) I STARTED HOME FROM WORK. THE CAR SUDDENLY OVERHEATED. STRONG FUMES CAME INTO THROUGH THE VENTS, BURNING MY EYES. I HAD TO STOP REPEATEDLY TO LET THE CAR COOL SO THAT I COULD GET HOME. I WORK ONLY 3 MILES FROM HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME, THE OIL STICK CONTAINED OIL HALFWAY UP THE STICK. STARTED OVER FLOWING FROM THE OIL CAP WHEN I RESTARTED. SMOKE...
