Took my truck back to the dealer on 2/22/01 for engine light that came on. they replaced a leaky fuel cap and engine light went off. told them when i call for service about the 2nd -3rd shift that was slipping in the transmission. the could not find what i was speaking of the first time. the second time i took it back for the same reason they then said that mitsubishi had a letter stating that there was a problem with the 2nd - 3rd shift. the called the tech line and no one new what to do with the vehicle. they in turn wanted me to pay for a tranny flush, i refused telling them i had been instructed by a mechanic friend that this is not the problem, so i did not have that done. to boot they wanted me to pay for this (80.00).!! when i called again about my vechicle doing the same thing i told them i did not feel the vehicle was safe to drive because driving a damaged transmission was not good, the told me that i was in no danger. the third time, they instructed me mitsubishi could do nothing else to help me and i had to pick up the vehicle immediately. so now i am driving a possible damaged transmission and who knows what else will happen. i would like to request and investigation into this, the mechanic at the dealership told me other vehicles(montero's) have been doing the same thing as well not just mine. i believe this is mitsubishi's responsiblity to fix this even if it means a new transmission!! if you would like to talk further on this problem please feel free to contact me at the given numbers. thanks and have a great day. --- concerned consumer  view

Took my truck back to the dealer on 2/22/01 for engine light that came on. they replaced a leaky fuel cap and engine light went off. told them when i call for service about the 2nd -3rd shift that was slipping in the transmission. the could not find what i was speaking of the first time. the second time i took it back for the same reason they then said that mitsubishi had a letter stating that there was a problem with the 2nd - 3rd shift. the called the tech line and no one new what to do with the vehicle. they in turn wanted me to pay for a tranny flush, i refused telling them i had been instructed by a mechanic friend that this is not the problem, so i did not have that done. to boot they wanted me to pay for this (80.00).!! when i called again about my vechicle doing the same thing i told them i did not feel the vehicle was safe to drive because driving a damaged transmission was not good, the told me that i was in no danger. the third time, they instructed me mitsubishi could do nothing else to help me and i had to pick up the vehicle immediately. so now i am driving a possible damaged transmission and who knows what else will happen. i would like to request and investigation into this, the mechanic at the dealership told me other vehicles(montero's) have been doing the same thing as well not just mine. i believe this is mitsubishi's responsiblity to fix this even if it means a new transmission!! if you would like to talk further on this problem please feel free to contact me at the given numbers. thanks and have a great day. --- concerned consumer  view

When under acceleration in second gear, and the engine revs approach 9000 rpm, the bike "skips" as if the chain is skipping on the sprocket. upon tightening chain problem still persists. took it to the dealer and suzuki claims to do a "good will one time fix". i know of many others who have been given this same line by suzuki for the exact same problem. the parts they replace are new revised parts, not the ones that came in the motorcycle oem, yet suzuki still stands by their product and insists it is "rider error" and no fault of the product.  view

1995 chevrolet luminas apparently have a known transmission defect which causes the torque converter to lock up at very low speeds, causing jerky & uneven shifting. when decelerating the torque converter fails to unlock, dragging down the rpm of the engine to very low levels when decelerating. the transmission shop i went to in order to diagnose the problem advised me that this was a known defect from chevrolet, who had issued a tsb concerning the problem. the transmission shop advised me that the repair was over $1,000 and that if i did not have the repair done the vehicle could stall when decelerating suddenly, possibly leading to loss of control of the vehicle. with my car this is an intermittent problem, i have not as of yet repaired the transmission. when i called the dealer i was advised that there was no factory correction for the problem and all service would be feeable. this appears to be a potential life safety issue as when the car stalls power steering is lost and until restarted has no power to avoid a crash. thank you for the evaluation of this report.  view

Much of this information is from www.audiworld.com. there have been numerous turbo failures on the earlier 2000 audi s4. for the people that have had turbo failures, some have indicated an abnormal 'siren' sound when accelerating. there have been a few turbos that have also been replaced (without failure) because of complains of this sound. my car started exhibiting this sound from 2k miles onward. initially, this sound occured only when the engine was cold. it is however now more apparent most of the time. i have brought this to the attention of the audi service department but have insisted that sound is normal and is apparent even on new cars. since then i have test driven a new s4 and the sound is not present. the theory to the current failure is that there is an insufficient oil supply to the turbos and because of this the internal bearings are damaged and hence start whining ('siren sound')and eventually failing. a few changes by audi also supports this theory. 1) they have revised the turbos on the newer s4s. the oil inlet to the new turbos are now larger. also,2) they have revised the recommended oil weight from a 5-40w to 0-30w which ensures better oil flow and lubrication at lower temperatures. the reason of my concern is that the turbos cost more than $5000 dollars to replace and i intend to keep my car for 5 years or 90k miles (whichever comes first). fyi the 'siren' sound is sometimes loud enough that passengers in my car think that there is a emergency vehicle in the vicinity. i would be more than happy to assist you in any way, or provide you with contacts, literature on individuals that have experienced turbo failures.  view

I have complained about the transmission banging when going from 1st to 2nd gear. i was told that this was normal everytine i brought it in for a check up. this has been going on since the time i bought it. the transmission finally failed at the date mentioned. i lost reverse but i had drive. as i drove it home the rpm's were high and it barely shifted. i barely got it home since the transmission was slipping between gears all the way home. i limped it home then had it towed in the next morning. i got the van back 6 days later. now it slips before going to into 1st gear. it never did that before with the 1st transmission. it also slips between first and second again. i was told that was normal. i have driven 4 other astro vans the same year and make and they do not slip between gears. i know that the new transmission is going again and i only have 1000 miles on it.everytime i complain about it they always say that is not normal. when i first bought the van it vibrated very bad. i was told that was normal too. i had only 75 miles on it. they took it for a test drive and they told be that the drive shaft was bent and had to be replaced. they replaced the drive shaft 5 days after i bought it. i am fed up with this. i told them i am taking them to court if the transmission fails again. they said the reason the transmission failed was from normal wear and tear. please help me with this problem. thanks.  view

Bought this vehicle in 1994 with about 14000 miles, i have replaced the brakes atleast once a year. once i had to replace them within a 6 month period. i've lost brakes on a number of times trying to stop. in all kinds of weather and at various speeds from 5mph or less to 65mph. i had 2 recalls done. it was only a band-aid for the problem. a year after this recall, my vehicle now needs brakes again, this after i just had it inspected two months ago. i know how to drive and hhandle a vehicle with abs brakes, i had a ford with abs brakes and never had any problems and i never had to replace the brakes. thank you rickey dean weese.  view

While vehicle was in for unrelated reapirs, the dealer replaced both front disc brake rotors even though the warranty had expired by approximately 1500 miles. the service manager stated that "both rotors were shot" and that shouldn't happen at 37,000 miles. i had a 1995 explorer which did the same thing at approximately the same mileage. at that time, another dealer and ford would not do anything about the repairs and i had to pay for them. this is the second explorer i've had withn the same problem. it appears to me that there is a problem with explorer brake rotors. it's my understanding that this has been a problem on windstar vans as well. do you have any information concerning this problem? i can't find anything in the recalll listing about it.  view

The a/c - heater blower stops running for an indefinite time period. during this time period, the turn signals will not work. for no action on my part, the blower restarts. at the instant that the blower restarts, the air bag readiness light lights momentarily, the same as it does when the ignition is turned on. i strongly suspect that the air bag is not "ready" during the time that the blower is off, clearly a dangerous condition. during the time that the blower is off, i think that the backup power supply (a capacitor) discharges, and when the power is restored to the blower, the backup power supply capacitor recharges, causing the air bag readiness light to light momentarily. several times, the kam (continuous memory) has been code-scanned, with the result that no failure codes were revealed. the check engine warning light comes on only during engine start; not afterwards.  view

First , this car was bought brand new with my ex-husband, nicolas jonville. we bought the car in october, 1997, from a jeep dealer in des plaines, illinois. it was a sales done through international autosource. we then brought the car out to california. since june, 2000, this car has expeienced o2 sensor problems, exhaust manifold crack, spring defective attached to right front shock, and fuel tank accuracy problem. i have a three year old child and drive this car just to take her to pre-sechool and shopping. i work out of the home. i believe the problems i have experienced in one years time are abundant. i don't drive daily into los angeles or san diego, california. i drive barely 20 miles a day. i do believe these problems do cause safetly problems for my daughter and myself. i have fears of stalling due to fuel problems. i have fears of hitting something that affect the spring on the highway and getting in a bad accident. i now have fears of driving the car long distances since the exhaust manifold crack caused me to eat too much gas. the car is only over three years old. i want some answers and will sending this information further with certified documentations of my letters, my reviews of mechanic views and the dealers documentation. the dealer has been non-supportive of fixing any of my problems without paying a high price when i believe these are manufacturer problesms.  view

I bought the car used in october of '99. the previous owner had replaced the transmision and transfer case. in july of '00 i had to replace the output shaft on the transmission (at a cost of $1100) because of failure. in september of '00 i was driving out of my apartment complex driveway doing about 5 mph when the gears of the transfer case shot out the side of the housing and all 4 wheels locked up. had i been driving at highway speeds and this happened the results would've been a lot worse. this is a common problem with these cars as well as the dodge stealth twin turbo models from '91 - '96. in my honest opinion all twin turbo 3000gt's and stealths should have the transmission and transfer case replaced as part of a recall or for those of us who have already spent the money to replace them should be reimbursed. thanks for your time, phil j. hosner  view

Right rear tire shows signs of crack where the tread meets the sidewall completely around tire. this tire is not covered under the recall, and the only thing they said that they can do is to replace the one tire at cost to my local firestone dealer. any ideas on what to do i know the last thing they want is a another recall.

On three different occasions my brakes have completely failed during the same circumstances: in each instance i am driving highway speeds, i brake to a stop because of traffic, when traffic stops i let off my brakes and the car starts moving forward. if i need my brakes immediately i find i have absolutely no brakes. the car doesn't even slow down. the second time this happened i rear ended a car that was three car lengths in front of me because i had no brakes! the other two occasions happened exactly in the same way, but the cars ahead of me started moving and i was able to keep from hitting them.  view

All of the electrical problems occur periodicaly. one day the gas gauge will show empty when the tank is full. the electric window went down and never came back up, they had to replace a switch in side the door. the right side door handle has to be pulled on twice to open from the outside. the rear hatch will not always open when released, you must push the buttom again to open it. and the reason i am filling out this questionnaire is because the car tonight would not start. the lights would come on, then off, then dim, then go bright. (the radio shows on its small window the word safe) the ignition switch does not seem to be working. so i decided to check out your web site for any recalls or service bulletins. the car will be heading to the dealership in the morning. thank you for your time and consideration.  view

I have experienced several "no starts" with my vehicle. i was informed by a firestone dealer when i had my tires replaced that he has witness similiar incidents with other ford explorer's. the firestone dealer stated that there is a problem in the fuel delivery or ignition system which causes the vehicle to flood itself at times when the ignition key is turned. i am very concerned if this is the case. the dealership where i purchased the vehicle has made three unsuccessful attempts to correct the problem. i am currently in arbitration. i know one other person who purchased a 2000 ford explorer from the same dealer and has had this same problem. the dealership is replacing his fuel pump as they have done in my vehicle; however, this did not correct my problem.  view

Newly-acquired abs/awd model of otherwise similar subaru wagon that had taken same described turn hundreds of times: descending wet gravel road in 2nd gear, while braking simultaneously and approaching a tight turn, the car actually began to speed up -- so, instead of slowing to point where brakes alone would take me around turn as usual, i pushed in clutch to downshift to 1st - which point i never reached, since the wagon swung around to outside of road, and slid down a steep 30' embankment, rolling over. although neither i nor passenger [dog!] were hurt, there was extensive glass and body damage. phone call from nearby neighbors to tow company had the wagon back up on the road within ca. 90 minutes, on second try [first try popped both tow hooks on rear, causing another 10-15' nosefirst dive that dented front fender on soft soil]. i called tow truck operator's attention to apparent lack of skid/braking marks, but the whole road had been graded by the time i returned with my camera the next day. after reinflating tire, i was able to drive it 1.5 mi. back up mountain road to house, but abs light and warning flashers remained on until i disconnected battery. glass replacement [windshield, hatch, rear quarter] alone over $1000, plus whatever body work [rear quarter clip, roof, hood, fenders] and paint needed. but mainly, i am afraid to drive this wagon downhill again, as awd/abs were the touted safety reasons for buying it: subaru's recent byline is "because safety is not an option".  view

For the air conditioning compressor to fail on a car with only 54,139 miles is unheard of. this 1995 neon has been well taken care of since new over the last 5 1/2 years. this dealer repair will cost about $800. this type of component should last much longer. regarding the excess number of paint chips on the car--it has chipped easily down to the primer ever since it was purchased. it has dozens of chips on the hood and front fenders and even on the roof. i have 2 other cars-one is 4 years old and the other is 20-both with original paint that don't even chip at all. this 1995 neon's hood paint is so covered with touch-up paint that the hood needs to be repainted. this paint is so weak it seems like the action of rain hitting it is enough to cause a chip on its surface. once again, this car is "babied"-washed and waxed by hand since new and should not have this problem.  view

While stopped at a red light, dual front airbags deployed, causing my car to lurch forward into vehicle in front of mine. very little structural exterior/interior damage was done to my car which indicated that the airbags may have either caused the accident, or gone off unnecessarily at too low a speed. on the very same day, a safety recall notice from ford motor co. arrived in the mail indicating that there is also a defect in the filler pipe vent hose of my vehicle which could cause a fire. did this somehow cause a malfunction of the airbag sensors? or is there a fuel line irregularity that could have caused the sudden lurching forward of my car? i had noticed in the weeks prior to this incident, somewhat jerky acceleration of my car, but thought it was just due to the cold weather. also, there is evidence of gasoline or oil having leaked from car on the floor of my garage. my husband and i only noticed this when we returned home after the accident, and our car was not parked in its usual spot. i hope you can investigate this matter. i believe that if airbags were to go off spontaneously at a higher speed, they would most certainly cause a complete loss of control of the car, and possible fatalities. additionally, if one's foot is accidentally released from the brake pedal, but not placed on the accelerator, should the car lurch or surge forward? i feel that the trauma and sudden deployment of the airbag may have caused me to recoil and release the brake, thereby causing a loss of control of my vehicle. fortunately, we were stopped at a light, and my children and i only sustained minor physical injuries.  view

I believe the failure existed when i bought the car from sierra motors in april of 2000 but i was unable to recognize it at the time because i had never driven a vehicle with this problem before. i had the car in about 1 week after i bought it due to fuel line failure and asked them to check the undercarriage while they were at it and they said they found nothing wrong. the longer i had the car, the worse it got until i had to take it back and told them it seems to walk when i drive it and something must be wrong with the under carriage of the car. this time they did find it but they said it did not have a recall on it. my daughter found a recall on the 1994 concord for this problem and i want to find out why my car is not included and what i can do to get it included. thank you. jeanette yarbrough.  view

The failure and near fatalities involved the installation of napa brake pads by a local dodge dealer. i was supposed to have had dodge brake pads installed but napa pads were substituted without my knowledge. the failure involved the inside brake pad. somehow, the inside brake pad separated from the metal pad plate. then at the most inopportune time, when i needed to apply the brakes, the brake pad slipped out of the caliper housing. i was on an interstate highway, traveling about 60 mph in a 4-wheel drive pickup in fairly heavy traffic when brake lights started to go off. when i suddenly hit my brakes, they went all the way to the floor. i was horrified. i had no braking power. absolutely nothing. i was forced to begin defensive maneuvers to avoid crashing into other vehicles, nearly rolled over several times and finally made it to the shoulder of the highway. throughout all of this, i was desperately pumping my brakes. after what seemed like an eternity, but most likely 4 or 5 pumps of the brakes before braking power finally reappeared and i was able to stop. i got out of the truck to look for brake fluid but could see nothing, so decided to head home. id had had enough, as i had nearly killed my daughter, others and myself. because of the holidays, the dealer who had earlier installed these brakes and several other shops that i had called were unable to do the job right away. i reluctantly decided to do it myself. the brake pads, when removed, had about 20,000 miles on them but from a wear standpoint seemed to show very little wear. upon disassembly, i discovered that the inside brake pad on the right side of the truck had separated from the metal pad plate and had somehow worked its way out of the caliper housing. im not an expert, but i think it may have been the gap created by the missing brake pad that caused the braking system failure that i experienced. again, im not sure but i think that this gap must be hydraulically eliminated fi  view

I purchased this vehicle from a "tote the note" lot, and complained to them about the problems 2 days and only 11 miles. after i purchased this car, i brought the car into them and they said they acknowledged that there was a major vibration, and they would have it checked out. when i called in, they said that the problem was the back motor mounts. they supposedly fixed the front ones on the day of purchase.they told me that problem would be fixed at my expense,, after going in and asking for my down payment back, they agreed to fix the vibration problem free but nothing else. two days after i picked the fixed car up, the check engine light came on after 20 miles of driving. i feel that this car is unsafe to drive,due to the intense vibration, the abs, and speedometer problems. the vibration was only bad when in drive and had to be shifted to neutral when attempting to stop. but now the vibration is worse in all gears, with the exception of the abs light staying on, the other problems were not there when i test drove the vehicle.  view

I had to have the tank on master cylinder replaced due to seeping of brake fluid. no obvious source of the leak was determined. it seemed to be coming from around the rubber seals where the tank attaches to the master cylinder. the first warning of the leak was the brake warning light. upon checking the fluid it was discovered to be very low. it was refilled to the proper level. the tank area was well cleaned and dried. within hours the tank was again wet with fluid. the level gradually decreased over the next several days as the fluid seeped out. no brake failure was observed, on loss of fluid from the tank. i had a local mechanic purchase a new tank from a dealer and put it on the car. new rubber seals were provided with the tank. time will tell if this has fixed the problem.  view

Right side shoulder harness of integral child seat suddenly stopped working and would not retract properly. brought immediately to dodge dealer, who took off the back of the seat to see if the problem was something simple like a twisted seat belt. i was told it was not retracting properly which happens with seat belts. the repair would involve the purchase of a $710 child seat module from dodge plus at least an hour of labor. my van had 500,500 miles, 500 over the extended warranty, and was purchased as a demo. dodge told the dealer that they would pay half of the $710 after i complained i could purchase a child seat for much less. i have moved my 18-month-old to the other side, but i wonder is it safe? will it restrain properly during an accident? what if the other side also spontaneously stops working when we are out, i have no other in the van. i need to know about their safety. i was really happy with these seats up until now, but i never realized how quickly they could fail and how cost prohibitive repair would be. any information you could provide, i would appreciate it.  view

This is to register the engine r.p.m. surging that occurs when the ford taurus is placed in park following road use. this has been reported by other taurus owners and their comments are consistent with my experiences of the engine racing to 3,000 r.p.m. or higher. if the transmission is shifted to reverse or drive without the brake firmly applied, certainly what would be unattended acceleration will occur with life threatening consequences. i've been to my ford dealer (marshall ford, inc. of union, ms). they have attempted to diagnose and correct this problem. i believe they have tried their best to act in good faith. however, my communications with ford motor co. regarding this serious problem have not been satisfactory. they have denied any existence of this malfunction. the number of taurus owners with identical engine r.p.m. acceleration complaints on your website reflect a much different story. can you investigate this problem and consult with ford motor company concerning the engine r.p.m. surging as described, which is potentially very dangerous.  view

The headlights on the 1998 ford taurus are extremely insufficient regarding the quantity and quality of illumination. this is a result of poor headlight reflector design. other taurus owners i have talked with expressed the same grave concern about the headlights. i've driven a 2000 ford focus, which did not exhibit the same problem. my previous car, a 1996 ford contour, had excellent headlights. the lights on the taurus are easily "over driven" at any speed over 35 m.p.h. at night. this results in a dangerous situation for the taurus driver and passengers. can you investigate this problem? i believe that ford should offer an improved replacement headlight for dealer retrofit to correct this very hazardous safety deficit.  view

My 1998 mlk 320 is going into the shop for the tenth time in 31 months, and the only reason it hasn't been in more often is i live 30 miles from the dealer. the car has been a nightmare. the problems are numerous; many have never been successfully repaired. the main problem that started not long after i purchased the car (new) is, when i start it the car dies. i have to repeat the process and eventually the car will start. there are also a myriad of small, continuous problems; windows that won't go up, locks that lock and unlock on their own, plastic parts that have fallen off. it has is awful. it makes my 95 ford ranger truck seem like a dream auto.  view

Driver's door fell off. no accident or other cause preceded door falling off. jeep dealer said the cause was a "manufacturing defect" and that as such, it was not covered by the extended warrantee at 70,000 miles. dealer declined to pay for repair, and declined to bill manufacturer for repair. manufacturer, contacted by owner, did not reply. owner paid approx. $800 to weld door hinge and door structure together. owner was, and is, dissatisfied. owner, typing this report, feels he is being remarkably civil.  view

2 weeks prior to reported incident vehicle had a coolant leak. garage found that the coolant resevoir had split and replaced it. on the 9th march my wife drove the car and dropped a college of to pick up his car at a garage. when she restarted the vehicle and proceeded to drive it she noticed that the engine did not sound right. shortly after the car started to wobble, the engine check light came on and the temperture gauge started to climb higher. she arrived home, i rang the garage, told them of the symptoms and was told to bring the car in. on starting it up i noticed a lot of blue grey smoke come out of the exhaust. the vehicle drove with no problems to the garage. subsequent inspection of the engine showed a coolant leak, when the head gasket was taken off there were 2 cracks on the engine block. the estimated cost of a temporary repair is $1000, but there is no guarantee how long the repair would last. the only other option was a new engine which is out of the question. i cannot understand how this problem could occur with only 76k on the clock. the vehicle was purchased used with 45k on the clock in september 1997. since then it has been serviced according to the manufacturers instruction, with an oil and filter change every 3 months.  view

Check engine light repeatedly lights up on dash. the car does not shift properly and the tachometer exhibits very high rpms. the original transmission was finally replaced late fall of 2000 (replaced with a brand new one). this transmission completely failed in jan. 2001 and was again replaced with a completely new transmission. now in march of 2001 engine check light is again lighting up and the car does not shift right. vw was notified, but does not want to do anything about it while it is under warranty. we offered to take blue book value as trade in on a new jetta. my concern is what happens if the transmission fails at highway speeds?  view

Engine backfire causes sudden loss of brakes. seven vacuum hoses tie into the one pipe and then into the intake manifold. only the brake vacuum assist has a clamp on the hose. when the engine backfires into the intake manifold, it blew off three of these hoses resulting in inadequate vacuum for the power assist brakes. the engine funs very rough but maybe it will smooth out when driven a little. so, you drive and suddenly find no brakes. if you are lucky, you have time and room enough to stop.  view
