Traveling 65mph when a thinning sound heard from engine. Took vehicle to mechanic & noticed the tie rod was broken. Was informed that a new engine would be needed. *Ak
I took the car in for the august 1998 recall on emissions equipment. They first said they didn't have the part, then they said they had the part and had replaced it, they did not. I had them do the seat belt recall, but have no idea whether they really did it or not. I have no idea whether the previous recalls, on the front end, for example were ever done. I called the manufacturer and they said my grievance was with the local people as everyone has their own local policies. I have no idea whether my car is safe or not, all I know is they cannot be trusted and I can't very well take it back there. *Ak
With the amount of miles on this car, I feel we should not be replacing the engine. We are very upset with this situation and would like some correspondence and explaination for these types of problems.
Vehicle is using up a lot of oil. When getting out of the vehicle one can smell oil, but there isn't an oil leak. Consumer can't determine where the oil is going to. *Ak
ENGINE NOISE ON START UP.
When starting vehicle, there is an unusual noise coming from the engine, it clatters and as time has went on, the noise gets louder, consumer feels this had to do with the service bulletin 57-61-24, dealers have not been able to fix problem, one dealer stated the problem was the belt tension pulley and replaced it, however problem did not cease. *Slc
