All Electrical Systemignition Complaints
2 YEARS AGO I NOTICED THAT THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO START WHEN IT HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME (12 HRS). I TOOK THE ENGINE COVER OFF AND TRIED TO START THE CAR WITH THE REMOTE STARTER. I NOTICED THAT THERE WERE SPARKS COMING FROM THE DISTRIBUTOR AND THE SPARK PLUG WIRES. TOOK CAR IN TO DEALER AND ALL WAS DONE WAS CHANGED SPARK PLUG WIRE AND PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS. DEALER JUST WANTS TO CHANGE THE WIRE AND PLUGS. *JB

CONSUMER IS REPORTING PREMATURE WEAR OF THE ENGINE MOUNTS AND A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA,WHILE IDLING OR DRIVING. DEALER NOTIFIED AND HAD REPLACED THEM. NLM THE CONSUMER HAS TRADED THIS VEHICLE IN DUE TO ALL OF THE MECHANICAL PROBLEMS AND IS REQUESTING HER MONEY BACK BECAUSE WHEN SHE HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE THE DEALER, THEY DIDN'T REPAIR THE PROBLEM WHICH WAS TO BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE HAS NO POWER AND VERY POOR SHIFTING. THE ABS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THE LEFT FRONT MIRROR IS NOT WORKING. THE SPARK PLUGS ARE FAULTY/BREAKING DOWN. THE INNER/OUTER BEARING WITH SEALS ON LEFT REAR AND RIGHT REAR-REPLACED, AND THE RIGHT REAR HUB ASSEMBLY-REPLACED DUE TO OVER TIGHTENING OF THE SPINDLE NUT. THERE'S A NOISE IN THE TIRE(S) THE DEALER PERFORMED A RECALL THAT REPLACED THE COOLER HOSE. *SCC
