IllustrationTHE FUEL PUMP FAILED LAST YEAR, WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE. THE TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS NOW ARE THAT THE CAR MAKES A LOUD "CLUNK" WHEN MAKING CONTINUOUS TURNS (E.G., RAMPS) EVEN AT LOW SPEED, AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS MAKING ODD SOUNDS. ALSO THE HEATER MAKES THE FRONT CONSOLE TOO HOT TO TOUCH ON THE RIGHT SIDE.*AK
