This car started having problems in approximately april. Tires were replaced in april. Brakes were replaced, then sliding section to sunroof fell apart. Then the termostat went out and replaced. Car stopped, was told it was the water pump, had it towed, was then told it was the modulator fan. Contacted the extended warrenty company, was told by warrenty people that it was not covered and then informed by them that it was also my AC and the compressor. Dealer refused to honor the remaining existing warranty that was left on the car.
Heat is poor and windows steamed up when driving, could not duplicate concerns
On two occasions vehicle completely shut off while driving. First time happened while pulling into ongoing traffic which almost LED to a collision. Second time it happened again, but traffic was normal. Vehicle been in dealer shop on two occasions, and parts were replaced on both times. But, problem is still reoccurring.
I was traveling to work at 4:30a.m. On 10/14/99. Upon the entrance to I-696 ( about 2miles from my residence) the temperature gage ran high and the high temmp light came on upon the entrance ramp. I drove approx 4 miles to my mothers residence which was on the way to work.. At that hour I must depend and rely on the safety of my vehicle. Thank goodness my mother lives on the way to my job 55 miles from my residence. When I drove it to the dealership at approx. 7am (when they open) the gentleman behind the counter said it probably wasn't a hose, ( which I thought because of the coolant loss and over heating) but instead a water pump because it is so common in that make of vehicle. This disturbs me because if he knew immediately what it was because of so many repairs why not a recall on the part? $:30 am is a scarry time to break down on a major highway. I paid for the repairs because I need my vehicle for transportation to and from work. It was 197.60 for labor, 1.60 for a seal, 11.60 for coolant, and 94.50 for the pump,15.00 misc charge, and 7.36 in tax total was 327.66. I do have the part and the receipt of the bill if you need it . I did not receive my car back untill 6pm I was told it took so long because I didn't have an appointment. I wish I could plan and make appointments for emergencies.
Whenever vehicle remains idle for longer than a day & then starting itup. It would stall . Would happen frequently but intermittenly. Have not taken vehicle to dealer as of yet.
