73,000 MILES AND THE ORIGINAL STRUTS AND CAPS BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR
HEADLIGHTS KEPT FLICKERING WHEN TURN SIGNAL WAS TURN ON ALSO HIGH BEAM LIGHT SWITCH WOULD STAY ON AFTER FLASHING THEM. FRONT SUSPENSION SQUEAKS AND MAKES CLUNKING NOISE WHEN HITTING BUMPS. BELTS SQUEAK THEY ARE BRAND NEW LESS THAN 10000 MILE WITH IT ON. *JB
I HEARD A "BANGING" NOISE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH. SO I CALLED MY DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPT FOR MULTIPLE OF REASONS AND THEY FOUND THE FOLLOWING ISSUES AGAIN WITH MY CAR; MY FRONT BRAKES (SHOE PADES, ROTOR'S TURNED) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN SINCE I'VE HAD THIS CAR AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT AND PREVIOUS TO THAT, THE DEALER REPLACED THE SHOE PADES AGAIN AT 19,000 MILES?? ALSO AT 19,000 MILES, THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE "BUSHINGS AND LINKS" FOR THE FRONT END AND AGAIN AT 45,000 MILES TWO DAYS AGO. I AM STRATING TO WONDER IF THERE IS A DIRECT LINK BETWEEN THE TWO PARTS GOING PREMATURELY. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES BECAUSE DUE TO THE WEAR/TEAR ON THEM BECASUE THEY WERE UNSAFE. THE DEALER WON'T WARRENTY THEM, SO I HAD TO BUY NEW SET OF...
VEHICLE VIBRATED SEVERELY WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED AT THIS TIME. CONSUMER ANTICIPATED ONE OF THE FRONT WHEELS MAY COME OFF WHILE DRIVING.*AK
STARTING AT APPROX. 40,000-45,000 MILES THERE WAS A THUMPING NOISE UNDER DRIVER SIDE FEET. THOUGHT MAYBE WAS TIRES,THEY WERE REPLACED AT 54,000 MILES. NOISE WAS STILL THERE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP. HAD FOR ABOUT A WEEK, FIRST DIAGNOSIS WAS BALL JOINTS, TIE RODS, A-ARMS. COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD TO PAY $100 DEDUCTIBLE. NO MORE THAN A WEEK LATER STILL THERE, CALLED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT. DIAGNOSIS SECOND TIME WAS STRUTS, STABILIZER BAR, BUSHINGS. AGAIN, COVERED UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY BUT STILL HAD TO PAY ANOTHER $100 DEDUCTIBLE. EVEN THOUGH STILL PART OF SAME PROBLEM. NOW A WEEK LATER, PROBLEM AGAIN PERSISTS BUT WORSE. YOU CAN JUST SIT IN THE VAN AND SHAKE IT AND HEAR THE ACTUAL NOISE INSTEAD OF HAVING TO DRIVE IT. AGAIN, I NOW HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. *JB
