THE VEHICLE BECAME HARD TO STEER.*JB
THE ENGINE HAS AN UNEVEN IDLE AND HESISTATES AT 2200 RPM. FOUR LIFTERS WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 23K MILES. THE ENGINE WAS REMANUFACTURED UNDER WARRANTY TO FIX AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AT 28K MILES. THE CAR NOW HAS 75K MILES AND IS AGAIN BURNING OIL AT 1 QUART/1K MILES. THE CASTER ALIGNMENT IS OFF BY 1.2 DEGREES AND CANNOT BE FIXED. THE FRONT BUMPER IS FALLING OFF BECAUSE THE THIN METAL PLATE THAT HOLDS IT ON HAS RUSTED OFF. THE HORN HAS STOPPED WORKING SEVEN DIFFERENT TIMES, DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE GROUND AND WIRING IN GENERAL.

I FELT THE CAR STEERING WASN'T TRACKING AND DELAYED WHILE I WAS MAKING A TURN INTO A CURVE ON THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WAS DELAYED IN RESPONDING TO THE TURN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND HE REPLACED THE LF LOWER LATERAL ARM BECAUSE OF PLAY IN BALL JOINT. BUT THE DEALER NEVER INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HE CHARGED ME TO HAVE THE LF LATERAL ARM REPLACED.*AK
