MY CAR STARTED MAKING THESE LOUD NOISES LIKE A TRUCK, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE BARONS, AND THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY NOT PUTTING OIL IN THE CAR OR RACING IT.

#718448 | February 7, 2000

IN SEPTEMBER, A NOISE THAT I HAD THOUGHT TO BE A WIND NOISE WAS IDENTIFIED TO ME BY A PASSENGER AS ENGINE KNOCKING. THE TRUCK, WHICH HAD BEEN IN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES ALREADY FOR OTHER ISSUES, WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER FOR CHECKING. WE WERE ADVISED, CONTRARY TO THE MANUAL'S SUGGESTIONS, TO TRY A HIGHER OCTANE FUEL. THE NOISE DID NOT GO AWAY AND WE BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK IN IN EARLY NOVEMBER. WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS A "FTSB" COMING FROM THE MANUFACTURER. AFTER A NUMBER OF DAYS THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME NOTHING WAS COMING UP AND TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK HOME. I DID NOT HEAR FROM THEM FOR SOME TIME AND THE KNOCKING WAS GETTING WORSE SO I RETURNED THE TRUCK FOR REPAIRS. REPAIRS WERE ATTEMPTED TWICE AFTER THIS WITH NOTHING CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. I JUST CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TODAY TO LET...

#718082 | January 30, 2000

WHILE DRIVING APPROX 35-40 MPH THE VEHICLE JUST FLAT SHUT OFF, ELECTRICAL,BRAKES AND STEERING. WE ARE LUCKY DUE TO LITE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A SAFE STOP AND PUT VEHICLE INTO PARK TO RE-START. THIS VEHICLE WILL BE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP 1ST THING MONDAY MORNING FOR A CHECK. I AM ADVISING YOU BECAUSE IF TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WERE DIFFERENT OR I WAS ON A FREEWAY DRIVING THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I DON'T HAVE ALOT OF CONFIDENCE IN DEALERSHIPS.
