I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR A RADIATOR FAN RELAY, WHICH IS NOT MENTIONED ON YOUR SITE. TODAY, I FOUND A NEW LEAK OF TRANSMISSION FLUID, THE RED LIGHTS ARE AGAIN FLASHING ON AND OFF, THERE ARE POWER SURGES IN THE CONTROL PANELS, THE ENGINE CHOKES AND SHUDDERS. OH, AND THE A/C IS OUT AGAIN. WE WON'T EVEN MENTION THE WINDHIELD WIPERS WHICH HAVE CONTINUALLY GONE ON AND OFF SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR, OR THE AIRBAG ALARMS, OR THE INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE HAVE PUT INTO THIS MAINTAINED CAR. MY 20,000 CAR HAS BECOME A 40,000 LEMON. THERE IS SIMPLY NO EXCUSE FOR THIS, MILEAGE OR NOT. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO KEEP THIS CAR BECAUSE I WANTED A "SAFE" CAR FOR MY TEENAGERS TO DRIVE. NOW, IT APPEARS I HAVE THEM DRIVING THE PINTO OF THE 1990'S. I THOUGHT I WAS KEEPING MY KIDS SAFE!! WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED, I HAD THE CAR TAKEN TO AN NON DEALER BECUASE I AM FED UP WITH THEIR ATTITUDES...WHAT DO YOU EXPECT AT 100,000 MILES, ETC. WHEN THE FIRST DIAGNOSTIC WAS RAN ON THE CAR, A BEWILDERING ARRAY OF CODES CAME UP. AFTER CHANGING THE SPARK PLUGS, ALL OF THE CODES DISSAPEARED. HOWEVER, THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS INCREASED IN INTENSITY, AND NOW I'M AFRAID MY DAUGHER WILL GO UP IN A FIREBALL. I ALREADY ASSUME THERE WILL BE NO RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER....I AM GOING TO CONSIDER A SUIT AS I CONSIDER THESE CARS DANGEROUS! FUEL LEAKS, STATIC CHARGE BUILDUPS? COME ON!

REPORTED STEERING PROBLEM IN JUL 98. DEALER SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE FAILURE. DEALER WAS CUTTER CHRYSLER JEEP OF WAIPAHU. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. NOW THE STEERING IS LOCKING-UP (INTERMITTENTLY) WHEN I GO OVER A SPEED BUMP, CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED BY THE SAME DEALER ON 24 JUL 98 AS A MALFUNCTIONED SWITCH THAT WAS ON RECALL AND THEY REPLACED IT AS A GOODWILL REPAIR BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY MILEAGE ONLY. IT ONCE AGIAN IS FAILING INTERMITTENTLY. BOTH OF THESE I FEEL ARE TRAFFIC SAFETY CONCERNS THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RESEARCH AND CORRECT IMMEDIATELY. THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER I BELIEVE IS INTERMITTENTLY SHORTING OUT AND CAUSING MANY SMALL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS LIKE RADIO WORKS, THEN DOESN'T, LIGHTS GO ON BY THEMSELVES, AND THINGS LIKE THAT. ONCE AGAIN I FEEL THAT IF LEFT UNCORRECTED THIS MAY ALSO POSE A POTENTIAL TRAFFIC SAFETY ISSUE. ALL THREE FAILURES I FEEL ARE BASED ON VEHICLE PRODUCTION LINE PROBLEMS THAT MAY BE AFFECTING MANY VEHICLES IN THE SAME MANNER. PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT TO DO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT ON MY ISSUES AND CONCERNS. SINCERELY, LOUIS C. MARTINEZ. *AK

ENGINE SHUTS DOWN REPEATEDLY WHEN DECELERATING; LOSS OF POWER STEERING, BRAKES; MAY OR MAY NOT RESTART IMMEDIATELY. O2 SENSOR, BATTERY, IGNITION CABLES, BELT DRIVE & TENSIONER, 60K SERVICE, 3 SERVICE VISITS: PROBLEM STILL OCCURS, BUT LESS OFTEN. TWICE, NEARLY LOST CONTROL AS PS & PBS FAILED IN A TURN; ENGINE SHUTS DOWN PARTICULARLY WHILE DECELERATING OR BRAKING, AS IN TURNS AND AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. WORSE WHEN AC WAS ON. SOUNDS TO ME AS IF AN IGNITION CONTROLLER SHUTS DOWN UNDER LOW VOLTAGE ("BROWN-OUT") CONDITIONS.
WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD MAKE A LOUD NOISE. ALSO, LOSS OF STEERING.PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

ON 3 OCCASIONS THE STEERING STOPPED WORKING. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE. IT LASTED APPROX 2SECONDS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS A DRIP FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER IS CAUSING THIS AND THAT THE SERVICE BULLETIN TELLS THEM TO ADD AN AC SPOUT, AND AUTO TENSIONER AND A BELT (SERP.?). THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND APPEARS TO BE IN QUANTITIES THAT MAKES THE SERVICE PEOPLE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM.
THE DRIVE BELT APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE. IF THIS IS THE CASE, THE POWER STEERING COULD GO OUT. OCCASIONALLY, THE POWER STEERING HAS LOCKED UP ON ME. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON WHENEVER THEY WANT TO. SEVERAL FRIENDS SAID THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PLYMOUTH TRUCK, VOYAGERS OR WITH THE DODGE TRUCK, CARAVANS. *AK
