WHILE APPLYING BRAKES, THE CAR PULSATES AND JUMPS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE THE ROTARS TURNED, THEN LATER REPLACED, THEN REPLACED AGAIN WITH 99 MODEL ROTARS, THE BRAKES ARE STILL PULSATING TO CURRENT DATE. THE ALTERNATOR WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING, LOST ALL POWER TO BRAKES, ABS SYSTEM, AND AIR BAGS. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED. LATER HAD TO HAVE BATTERY REPLACED DUE TO ALTERNATOR KILLING IT. THE A/C LIGHT WOULD BLINK ON AND OFF, THE COMPRESSOR WOULD CUT ON AND OFF. HAD TO EVENTUALLY REPLACE THE PANEL ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AFTER HAVING A NEW COMPRESSOR PUT ON. THE A/C PANEL SEEMED TO HAVE DONE THE TRICK, THOUGH IS HAS SOME NEW PROBLEMS FROM THE BEGINNING. THE BUSHINGS SQUEAK AND SQWAUK WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPS, THEY HAVE NOW STARTED IN THE REAR OF THE CAR.
