Vehicle being towed behind motorhome on i-29 north of st.joseph,mo. heard noise and saw smoke and motorhome began drifting to right. after stopping to investigate found left front tire blown off wheel,brake line severed, running board missing and considerable damage to left door and fender. put on spare then proceeded to palmyra, ne. for the evening. just after crossing in to wyoming the next day another loud report and the left rear tire blew out. same type of tire and same mileage as the front, only the belt had wrapped around the axle and locked up the wheel. i have this tire, what is left of it anyway. conditions on both occurances: clear weather, temps in the mid to high 80 s, speed was 65 mph, traffic moderate. tires were checked and inflated to 50 psi prior to departing bartlett, tn. tread was about 50% on all four tires of the matched set. if vehicle had been driven instead of being towed, this could have been dangerous to occupents and other motorists in both incidents . view

Have been unhappy with squealing of tires since the beginning, but when the air pressure was checked it was always at the pressure on the door sticker-26 pounds. not only noise but seemed to be bad traction-skids to halt rather than stops on wet and dry pavement, especially on decline. 6/11/02 totally out of control, no traction. went to dealership, they told me 26 pounds was too low, the tires needed more air. when i brought to their attention that the door sticker says 26, they said they coulodn't tell me to put in more than what's on the sticker, but the tires needed more air. called general motors talked with a pat lewellen(my request number s1=909) who called the dealership, talked with the service manager brian cook who told her exactly what he had told me, that more air should go in the tires. she also could not tell me to add air because of the door sticker, so she gave me the number for uniroyal. ken fedyck-told me that i could put in a couple of extra pounds if i wanted to but not too much because if i overinflate there could be center wear, in any case he also could not tell me to put in anything over 26 pounds, it was my decision, "it's up to me as the consumer". i do not think the safe level of tire pressure, when wrong levels cause bad traction and skidding, should be "up to the consumer" to guess. if i guess wrong, i or someone else might die. if the tires need more pressure to be safe, then it should be what is on the door sticker. this is a dangerous practice. view

Since purchase of vehicle oct 2000 i have been in the shop 35 x for manufacturing problems. ongoing problems include dimming of headlights at any given time and flickering of clock/radio display at any given time. service attempted to fix the dimming and flickering by replacing the alternator, but it did not fix the problem. they are now unable to duplicate the problem. it took service 5 attempts to fix taillight water retention problem (they sealed the entire assembly). the rear differential fluid was reportedly low from factory causing a grinding sound in my gears (it took 2 attempts to fix that problem). since that differential problem, i have had a clunk between 2nd & 3rd gears (service is unable to duplicate the problem). view

Originally noted the reverse gear had a delay when purchased new, but was told it was normal. while driving home from airport car slowed and appeared to lack power (clutch slippage), 2 miles later upon deceleration and accecleration heard a grinding sound and noted a sluggish forward motion. made it back to home and shut car down (nite time). restarted car in morning and noted that car would not back out of garage, also tried putting car in nuetral, but care would not move (appears to be stuck in a gear). vehicle currently unmovable. contacted manufacture and requested assistance with parts (i would pay for labor), but the reps (more than one) i talked with said that they decline to provide any assistance. they also told me that their word was final and that it would be useless to ask to talk to anyone else. since i am in the military they refered me to military sales and service (they said that i might try arbritration). whatever happened to good faith and loyalty to customers. view

The "auto apply" brake system on these vehicles isa disaster waiting to happen. the brake is held off by hydraulic pressure and when pressure is lost the brake locks up. i have had the vehicle in for chevrolet service replaced the hydro pump motor,the pressure swith and the system has since locked up. searching the 'net at different forums revels many incidents with this system. cannot find anyone in chevrolet's tech support that really knows the system well enough to state a real fix for the problem. imagine highway speeds of 65-70 and suddenly the brakes lock up without warning. the system should immediately be removed from these vehicles by cheverolet and replaced with a mechanical park brake. view

May 2001 was the first time that a window (drivers) felt thruough door cavity on my vehicle. the dealer repaired and that was it. the next month the passenger window had the same luck and this time the service advisors at the dealer (camelback volkswagen at phoneix, az) commented that this was fairly common on the volkswagens, and now that both of my systems where repaired i did not have to worry anymore. i was upset and asked how come there was no recall and they said that vw did not considered a safety issue once the window falls you have no way to lock the car unless you take it to the dealer for service!! on july 29, 2002 my previoulsly repaired window felt into the doors cavity one more time. i called the dealer and asked for an explanation and i was told that the installed part was not working properly and that a new part was designed and being installed on broken vehicles. this time i called volkswagen and demanded that both of my windows systems where to be repaired at the same time with the newly design part, and asked why there is not a recall on this matter and they claimed that there is not a significant amount of cases. well the dealer tells me that they are dealing with 10-15 cases a day and they do not even have the part in stock., it is on back order and they can only prop the window and leave unmobile until the parts arrive. in the meantime vw refuses to replace the other part on the drivers side until it fails, even when they know that the installed part is failing constantly at least in the state of arizona. view

On 7/11/2002 my wife was involved in a near head-on accident. she was driving down the road when another car suddenly turned left in to her path. the other driver was cited for failure to yield right of way. my wife hit the other car in the front right side. the ford focus zx5 sustained major damage and with a cost of over $12,000 to repair it was declared a total loss. the air bags never deployed even though it was a frontal collision and the bumper was totally destroyed. when i contacted ford motor co. today at their customer service center (1-866-693-6738) i was informed by steve that if i wanted to find out why the air bags didn't deploy that i could pay to have them tested. when i questioned as to why i had to pay to have ford to possibly fix a major problem with the air bags he said that that is what the computer pop up stated. ford should be more receptive to wanting to find out if there is a problem. if there is a problem then ford should compensate me and my wife. view

My automatic transmission is stalling while driving at speeds of over 40 mph. this problem has occurred to my vehicle 4 times over the past 10 months. each time the dealer insists that the problem has been fixed, but then it happens again. all four times that it has happened i have been driving on the same road, which is a one lane road through a very hilly and curvey section, and have almost caused a collision each time. when the car stalls, the power brakes and steering are lost, making it almost impossible to stop the out of control car. because of my quick thinking, i was able to put the car into neutral, restart the car, and put it back into drive in enough time to avoid a collision. i do not feel safe riding in this car with my children, and mazda has no idea how to fix this problem. two of my co-workers have the same vehicle. one of them had this same problem four times and finally had to get rid of the car because mazda couldn't fix it. my other co-worker has only had the problem once, but it can happen at any time. this is more than just a coincidence that the only two people i know with this car are having the same problems. this car is a hazard to all drivers on the road. view

Rear passenger tire thread separation: driving to work at 8:40a, on a 3 lane freeway plus a carpool lane. i was in the middle line, when the car vibrated. i thought i could get to work to take it to a dealership. drove another 1-2 miles, when the vibration became violent. i swearved into the fast lane, cringing and waiting for someone to hit me, since i jumped into their lane. i attempted to straighten the car , but was losing control. i veered back to the 3rd lane and then fishtailed , heading for the center divider. i crossed over into the fast lane and the carpool lane , stareing at the wall. i managed to struggle with the steering wheel to turn the front of the car away from the wall, just in the nick of time to fishtale away. my left rear bumper sideswiped the wall as i headed back across overall 4 lanes, to the right shoulder, where i came to a stop. it was a miracle that no one hit me when i first went out of control. it was a miracle that no one slammed into someone else, as they slowed down to let me continue stay " out of control" until i came to halt. it was the most horrifiying 20 seconds of my life. my life was spared, and so was someone else's, if the time had been different. i had to purchase another firehawk tire and firestone request that i mail them the damage tire!!! how do you mail a tire!?!?!?! insane. view

My 1996 ford taurus sho started making a chatter noise on the top end of engine. i took it to a ford dealer in albany, ny. the dealer was orange motors. they charged me 100.00 to diagnos the problem. they said i needed a new engine and the cost was going to be $12,000.00. since i was in shock with the price, i looked into the problem myself and found a website v8sho.com. they described my exact failrure. this is a common failure among all 1996,97,98,and 99 sho's. the engine is built by yamaha for ford. the problem is the design of the cam shaft. the timing gear sprocket is pressed onto the cam and can come loose at any time. if you hear the audible chatter from the engine, you must stop driving immediately. if you continue to drive the gear will slip on the cam and the engine will self destruct bending valves and destroying the engine. it doesn't matter how an individual maintains the car. this can happen to anyone at anytime. ford knows of the problem. they issued special service bulliten 15879 to check for the problem. in my case the ford dealer where i took the sho didn't even tell me not to drive the car any further. when this is caught in the beginning stages you can weld the sprokets to the cam. after taking my car apart myself, i found both front cams to have a problem. one moves left and right on the sproket and the other is loose on the cam.(ready to spin completely loose and kill the engine. the cost os this safety issue should not be the consumer's responsibility. this is a latent defect by the manufacturer. view

Windshield wipers began failing in the summer of 1997 and finely progressed to the point where they would never come on. i love my astro and it has been the most reliable vehicle i've ever owned, but i would have sold it if i lived in seattle, wa. my only saving grace is that i live where it seldom rains hard. 1995 trucks and/or suburbans had recalls for intermitent wipers due to defective or inproper solder connections, which would cause connector failure to the motor. since, astros were not included in the recalls, dealers (i.e. more than one) told me that they would only do the repairs at my expense. i know my problem is a poor solder connection because i can push in on the wires at the "pin" connector, leading to the motor, and the wiper motor will begin running. the biggest hazard is that the connection fails during operation. poor connections like these are also fire hazards, (p. s. i'm a firefighter and most non-accident related vehicle fires i have been on are due to electrical malfunction). also, 65 mph in traffic, in the rain, is not the time to jump out and start pushing on connectors to make my wipers work. with all of the families riding in astros, i can't believe there hasn't been any recall for this serious safety defect. i understand that noone has been killed yet, but just because astros are not the choice of vehicles of attorneys and the well off, doesn't mean they should be ignored. proaction in this matter should and must be taken. there are 40 complaints for the same problem on this web site. it is a safe statistical bet to mulitply that (40) by a conservative number of 100 and you could be looking at 4000+ astros driving without reliable windshield wipers. i believe that in quite a few states functioning wipers are required to pass annual safety inspections. (who paid for those repairs?) waiting for another "firestone" is wrong and negligent. view

At 4:20pm on 5/28/02 my wife was on interstate 95 near georgetown, ma on the way to the dealership in amesbuy for service because the car's airconditioner had quit and some of the dashboard indicator lights would not stop flashing. suddenly she saw smoke in the rearview mirror and pulled the car over to the side of the road. then more smoke came from under the hood, so she got out of the car. minutes later the car was engulfed in flames and black smoke. ten minutes later it was completely destroyed. the georgetown fire department and state police had responded, but by the time they got there, there was nothing they could do. we have not contacted volkswagen directly because we feel they would not be responsive. maybe the insurance company or the nhtsa can force the manufacturer to look into this, since this seems to be happening to other 2000 beetles as well, and sooner or later someone will be seriously injured or killed because of this apparent defect. view

I have ongoing problems with the front brake rotors warping. when applying the brakes, the front end begins to shake/shimmy as does the steering wheel.the first time i took my vehicle in for this was on 7/14/99 with 6,492 miles. the dealer was familiar with the problem because other vehicles were serviced for the same thing. the fix was to turn the rotors to bring them back to spec. the problem occured again and on 2/24/00 with 12,325 miles i returned to the dealer. they again turned the rotors. the third time was on 12/6/00 with 20,848 miles. since the rotors were turned the two previous times, the rotors had to be replaced. after the rotors were replaced with only 2,847 miles on the "new" rotors, (vehicle miles was 23,695) the problem was back. this time, i took the vehicle to a different dealer on 3/22/01,(lamarque dodge, 4848 veterans blvd., metairie, la 70006, 504/779-4200. i gave them the history on the brake rotor problem. there fix was also to turn the rotors and replace the brake pads per tsb 05-01-00. the fifth time the problem occured was on 1/10/02 with 34,419 miles. i took the vehicle back to lamarque dodge and they again turned the rotors. it is now the sixth time the problem is occuring. as of this date (5/31/02) the vehicle has 37,489 miles. this is only 3,070 miles since the rotors were turned. i am sure this time, once again, the rotors will need to be replaced. the nhtsa website has numerous complaints on this problem, as do other websites. i do not know what it takes for a recall, but i think it is time that something is done. daimlerchrylser has a serious safety issue here. i hope some action is taken soon. view

Our grand cherokee developed a severely pulsating brake pedal at 7,000 miles of non off road use, city driving, the selling dealer replaced the front rotors. this occurred again about 15,000 miles later, again with very gentle vehicle usage. the manufacturer claims the vehicle is outside of warranty period at 2 years, and brakes are not warrantied. we maintain there is a design deffect in this system allowing premature front rotor warpage leading to severe pedal and vehicle pulsation on brake applications at higher speeds. we have the assurance of a multitude of other jeep owners that we are not alone in our problem with this brake system. we have spent considerable time discussing this design deffect with daimlerchrysler, but they have obviously shifted their obligation to possible litigation, but not to insitute the required recall and component correction. can a brake system that suddenly alters from correct function, to one that causes the vehicle to shudder in an aggressive manner and cause the operators foot to shake severely after such an extremely short duty cycle be deemed normal? we are careful drivers, and can now avoid injury and property damage by repairing the problem, others might not be so lucky. forgive the length of this reply, the wilkinsons. view

We have been told by mckinney dodge in mckinney, texas that we have an intake leak on our manifold. we have made arrangements with our mechanic to have this fixed. i went to the west loop dodge in ft. worth and picked up the manifold gasket kit from the parts department. upon reading the insert it stated that the new bolts are now 1/2 inch longer and that the gasket itself is now thicker as well. also with speaking with our mechanic, he informed us that we are the second truck in the past two weeks that has had the same problem. he was even able to tell us exactly where our leak was before inspecting it. this seems to me that dodge has been aware of this problem and instead of recalling their defect in their product, they made changes to the gaskets and bolt sizes and are now charging over $600 to have this repaired. i feel that this should be considered a defect in their product and dodge should be responsible for paying the bill and not the consumer that has purchased their product. view

(it is easy) to take off his chest protector in the car seat. he was sitting in the back seat of the car beacuse of front air bags. he then rolled down the window because i forgot to lock the windows out again. he then had his head and shoulders out the window. all this happened in a matter of seconds. i had to pull the vehicle over and have my older son sit in the back with him. the chest clip on the cosco touriva slids apart on one side easily. then the child can take the strap off the shoulders and pull themselves up and out. it is not a safe design for a curious toddler. also on my century it has the same clip. they both have overhead pads to put their arms on. i hope this problem can be investigated. thanks. view

Dealer replaced wheel bearing at 29,000 miles under warranty. went bad again 30,000 miles later, even though owners manual states that it doesn't need serviced until 60,000 miles. dealer said that we drove on it too long and damaged the hub and housing, $700 repair bill. dealer said that they had been having a lot of problems with these bearings and they replaced it with a legacy bearing. service manager stated that we were 'lucky' to only have had bearing fail twice. we feel, after research, that it is a design problem and there needs to be a recall by subaru to fix this problem and we should be reimbursed for our expense. view

My dashboard cracked on the passenger side right on the seam of the air bag system it is continuing to crack on both sides of the seams. i have reported this to the dealer and to daimler chrysler. my answer from them was to go to a junk yard and buy a dashboard.i tried several shops to get this repaired and no one would touch it because of the liability.i do not feel safe not knowing if the bag will deploy right in case of an accident . the repair shops i took it to said this is not the first one they have seen on this model and thought it should be reported to you. view

Returned from trip. set parking brake. motorhome was still in gear and went down the road. i thought the brakes needed adjustment. took motorhome to a licensed truck repair facility. motorhome was checked out by a qualified brake expert. only thing he could find wrong was the maxi brake chambers were not big enough to hold the motorhome. installed two bigger chambers and the parking brake works properly and the service brakes seem better. contacted the chassis builder and was told this morning that the motorhome had the incorrect chambers and they would pay for the replacements. they called me back this afternoon and said the small chambers were correct and even though they would not hold the motorhome, there was nothing they could do. if they were the proper brake chambers, they should hold the motorhome. they didn't and the repair facility could find nothing else wrong with the brakes. the bigger chambers work as intended. view

About i month ago the steering began being very difficut to turn to the left. it begins from a parked position and continues after the car is in motion. it is as though the car does not have power steering. it actually is more difficult to turn left than a standard steering(no power steering) vehicle. i worry about having to make a sudden left turn to avoid an accident, depending on the circumstances, i may have a problem. i have not had any accidents or driven over any bumps or holes that could cause this problem. i have never seen a car be this difficult to steer to the left. i saw a newspaper article by nedra pickler that promted me to check your website. please advise asap what i should do. view

This is the second described component that has failed. the first failed around 12000 miles. the component failure results in the engine failing to idle. in order to keep vehicle running at speeds below 30mph it is necessary to keep one foot on the accelerator and the other on the brake when coming to a stop. failing to keep one foot on the accelerator and maintaining at least 500rpm will cause the engine to stall. the gearing arrangement of my explorer causes the engine to stall at speeds below 30mph without using both brake and accelerator when slowing down or coming to a stop. which means that i must keep my foot on the acelerator and brake at intersections when it is necessary to slow down or stop. my inital failure of the first occurred while driving on an open stretch of highway while slowing down for approaching traffic. fortunately, i was able to still control the steering after loss of the power-steering as a result of the stalled engine. i asked my dealer if there is a problem with the design defect of this component or was ford getting parts from a bad supplier. especially, since my vehicle now has the third such unit installed. he didn't know but they had replaced several units. i ask the ford customer service personnel the same questions but they stated that as far were concerned the number of failures for this particular component had not reached a point to be a "concern". well unfortunately from the standpoint of safety, i think when there is the possibility of a vehicle engine stalling when you are driving down the road at or around 30mph and you can lose or greatly reduce your ability to steer your vehicle. my reason for contacting you is that i believe that ford has a design problem with this component especially when i now have the third such unit installed after two previous failures within a total of 58,549 miles. also, when the mechanics who service the vehicle state that they think the failure is the result of excessive heat near the location. view

Noticed a knock in the engine and was going to have it checked out when going down interstate 75 at 65 miles and hour the car lost acceleration in heavy friday afternoon traffic. i was able to get off the expressway and call for help. i had the car towed to a local ford dealer. they have now had my car for 48 days. i was told that the camshaft on the right side of the engine had malfunctioned and would have to be replaced. i was told the repairs would be between $2,800-$3,300. i authorized the repairs. after finally getting the parts, repairing and putting the engine back together it still did not run properly. they had to pull the engine apart again and now said they would need approximately $2,000 more to repair the valves and head. they replaced the valves and were able to machine the head. they put it back together and returned my car after 35 days and $4,400 in repairs. the next morning on the way to work the check engine light came on and the engine was running very rough. took back to ford after 4 more days i was told the other side of the engine was now malfunctioning and it would cost me approximately $2,000-$3,000 more in repairs. after going to the head of service/parts they agreed to cover the last repairs. i was informed that when the repair was complete that it may happen again. if i would have know all this in the beginning i would not have authorized the repairs. view

Our dealer informed us yesterday that both front brake rotors on our vehicle are warped. this has occurred with only 22000 miles on the new vehicle. after investigating further, we've learned that this problem is quite common for the mitsubishi montero. based on the experience of others, we may very well have to replace both rotors every time we replace the front brake pads. this tendency for abnormal, accelerated wear of the rotors is an obvious safety issue. excess wear can lengthen stopping distances, making it difficult for drivers to avoid obstacles. given the frequency with which this problem is occuring (abnormally high rates of rotor warpage), we believe the problem is best explained by either manufacturing defects, or, more likely, a design flaw in the brake/rotor system. both the dealer and mitsubishi customer service have been contacted and the problem disucssed at length. neither party is willing to replace the rotor assembly. rather they simply wish to turn them - an approach which only delays correction of the problem and ensures added customer costs. please investigate this as we feel it could be a serious safey issue with this particular vehicle. view

The front bumper is too low to the ground. when parking, the front bumper passes over standard concrete 'tire stoppers'. when reversing out of the stall (even at very slow speeds), the front bumper assembly detaches from the vehicle. i have contacted volkswagen about this problem. volkswagen's suggested solution is "not to pull so far into the parking space". unfortunately, due to the design of the vehicle, it is impossible to tell if you are too "far in" until it is too late and the damage has occurred. i have personally observed this problem occur on at least four other jettas (both here in honolulu and on the mainland). on our jetta alone, this has occurred on three occasions. although the dealer has been helpful in making cosmetic repairs to the bumper, complete replacement of the bumper assembly would cost approximately $1,000. i believe that this is a design defect which the manufacturer should be required to correct. i am concerned that in the event of an accident, a partially detached bumper assembly could be a safety hazard. view

Airbag warning light frequently comes on and then stays on all day. dealer says car is safe except when warning lights are on, but that is unpredictable. dealer has repeatedly made repairs but after a few months the airbag light comes on again. i made initial filing under lemon law and ford has made final repair but light still stays on. took sable in again for diagnostic and dealer got very upset when i would not let them work on it after "final repair" typing "customer refuses safety repair" so they must believe it is not just a light problem but a true safety problem. can you tell me if there have been failures of sable airbags in accidents or injuries or fatalities associated with year 2000, 2001 or 2002 sable airbags? if you do not know, can you advise me or refer me where to find this information? view

The airbag srs light has needed to be reset four times since purchasing the new vehicle. the dealer is unsure if the airbag would deploy when the srs warning light is on. the dealer had a service bulletin posted in their office concerning this defect. the problem seems to be due to the susceptiblity of the airbag sensors to normally occurring rf from environmental sources that meet fcc standards for rf emissions. honda has no effective solution for the problem. i would think that a recurring problem that poses a risk of the srs not deploying would be an unacceptable risk that would require mitigation. in every case, the srs light has come back on within a few days of service. i can't bring the vehicle back in on a weekly basis for an srs reset, so i have driven the vehicle extensively with no confidence that the srs system would deploy in an accident. if this is common enough to require a service bulletin, it may be only a matter of time before someone is injured or killed due to this defect. view

While executing a right turn at low speed, the drivers's seat broke loose from the track at the front of the seat. the seat remained attached to the track at the rear of the seat. this caused the seat and me (the driver) to suddenly roll toward the back of the car, almost losing contact with the steering wheel. only by grasping the steering wheel and pulling myself forward was i able to reach the clutch and brake pedals. i then guided the car to a safe stop. this defect could easily have resulted in my death and the death of other drivers. i have never attempted to perform any work on this seat. regardless of the number of miles driven, and regardless of warranty status, the driver's seat should never break loose like that. this is a potentially fatal defect. view

I was upset the first time the rack and pionon failed and the poor attitude of the dealership. for $1,200, they would install a new rack and pinion. i was unable to steer the car, but did not have an accident. i had a napa repair dealership rebuild the original rack and pinion ata cost of $500. they replaced the seals with stainless steal. this repair lasted 120,000 and it failed again. an auto zone rebuilt rack and pinion was installed this time. although the stainless steal seals lasted longer than the factory original seals, they will fail again. pontiac must have known that something was wrong with this rack and pinion as it was only used in the 97 model. a different part number was used in the '98 and newer models. after the first failure, i wrote to pontiac but did not receive any indication that they would check any further into rack and pinion failures. this vehicle should have been recalled. view

Car sometimes rolls forward or backward when in gear and running (in the opposite direction of the engaged gear). for example, our driveway slopes downward, away from the street and toward our house, requiring us to back up the driveway to reach the street. when the car is started and put into reverse, it sometimes will roll forward until the brake is applied. conversely, when the car is in forward gear and is stopped (at a light or stop sign) on an incline with the front of the car being higher than the rear, the car will sometimes roll backward until the brake is applied. the dealership has told us that this is "normal" and that if the engine rpm is not at a certain level, gravity will prevail over the transmission. while this seems normal if the car had a standard transmission, this seems quite abnormal since it has an automatic. whenever we are on an incline, i must keep my foot on the brake and rev the engine prior to taking my foot of the brake or run the risk that the car will roll forward into our swimming pool at the end of the driveway, or backward into another car while in traffice. it's like driving my old vw. view

Dangerous design of fuel tank filling system. fuel tank filler rubber hose attaches to lower lobe of fuel tank. hose will contain fuel until tank is nearly empty. hose is routed below unibody frame rail and is highly susceptible to impact damage from road debris. if hose were to become damaged/dislodged, entire contents of fuel tank could spill. if this happened while vehicle is in forward motion, the fuel could spray onto (large) hot muffler positioned transversley, immediately aft of fuel tank. i feel this design presents an extreme fire/explosion hazard that could be fatal to vehicle occupants. i have never seen such a poorly designed fuel system! view

I have a 2000 ford focus zx3 that has been plagued with steering problems. on 4 separate occasions the steering wheel has locked up while i was in the process of making a left turn. only after bringing the car to a complete stop, was i able to turn the wheel. after having the car into the shop 3 times, the best the service technicians can tell me is that they are unable to find the problem since it is intermittent in nature. the last time was easily the most frustrating. while making a left turn, the steering wheel became immovable. unable to stop in time, i ran the right front tire of my vehicle into a curb. this is a repair bill that i had to pay because, according to the service technicians, the problem cannot be traced. while no injuries have resulted from this problem yet, it does have the possibility to become very dangerous and i feel others should be warned. view

Car started to vibrate bad around 74000 miles. took to 3 different repair facilites, was told by first the rack and pinion needed replaced, was a bad design and they see it all the time. was told other components were wore also because of the rack and pinion, total cost- $1500. midas muffler gave me a similar estimate for $1600. this week a firestone dealer checked the car, the right rear cradle cap bushing was gone,right front separated and about to fall apart. other suspension/steering components wore and needed replaced. they told me to take it to a dodge dealer and complain. this car is the second largest purchase we have ever made, besides our house. we feel cheated by dodge. we are afraid to drive the car for fear it will fall apart like others i have seen on this site.dodge should repair this car fully or buy it back from us. we will not be able to afford to take our children to see the ocean ( we live in ky) as we hoped to do this summer and the car is not dependable enough to drive out of my driveway!! view

On may 1, 2002 i left my office which is six miles from my home. when i started my car i heard a whining sound coming from under the hood. as the car started fine i decided to drive home. i had not had any problems with the car at this point. as i was driving home the whining sound increased. all the gauges read normal, the temperature gauge included. about 4 miles from home the whining sound increased so i turned off the a/c and the radio. i began to feel a sllight vibration when shifting gears. about 2 miles from home i began to smell a sickly-sweet odor. approx. 3/10 of a mile from my home the battery light came on the car began to run very roughly. the sicly sweet smell became much stronger and i had a sense that my car was goin to catch on fire. the temperature gauge still read normal so i thought maybe i was wrong and possibly the alternator was failing. i drove the car home and parked it down by the road, the odor was becoming very strong. i grabbed the car keys and some of my work items and ran to get the water hose about 25 ft. from the car. i turned around, havig been out of the car possibly no more than 10 seconds and brown smoke was coming from under the right front of the hood. i called for my son to bring the cordless phone and told him the car was on fire. he began to spray water on the car in an effort to contain the fire. i called 911. two fire engines responded but they were unable to save the car. the vehicle was a total loss, the engine was completely destroyed, everything under the hood had melted or fused together, the fire burned through the drivers side fire wall melting the dash and the radio, the hood liner and visors completely burned, the windshield cracked and melted, the fire began to burn through the passenger side front wheel well, the hood latch had melted shut so the fire dept had to use a chain saw to open the hood when the fire was out. the paint burned off the hood of the car. i have pictures to verify the fire damage. view

At 24,000 miles steering wheel shakes on braking. dealership service station states that fornt and rear rotors are warped. rear rotors needed to be resurfaced (for the second time; they were resurfaced at 9,000 miles the first time). the front calipers and rotors needed to be replaced (at 9,000 miles front rotors were resurfaced too). not under warranty. needed to pay $600.00 after 15% brake service coupon (figure this!). in my opinion, these rotors are a total design flaw and need to be covered under warranty during the time of factory warranty. service told me the replacement rotors are reinforced (figure this one too) which translates to me that chrysler is fully aware of their bad rotors in jeep gran cherokee (limited) vehicles. shame on them letting their loyal customers pay for something totally unnecessary. this definitely cries for a real bad customer satisfaction. view

Car shuts down completely, no warning. the first time it happened, the car took a while to restart, radio wouldnt come back on. dealership replaced radio. after numerous times in the dealership, service manager of the dealership, as requested by ford motor co, ask specific questions as to help isolate why it was happening. i was asked if i notice the lights dim prior to car shutting down. i replied, i dont recall if the lights dimmed because i was more thinking about it is dark, i have a black car, no lights, no power & a semi coming up behind me, on i40. my thoughts were of not getting killed at that moment. the car started back up, however the radio again didnt come on including the clock. the last time it was brought in after it shut down, i brought it into the dealership with the radio and clock not working. it was kept for one week and i was advised the radio works, it merely has a loose face plateon the radio & you have to keep" hitting the control to get it on. i know first hand the radio shutting down is a resulting of complete power lose (including the clock). i dont think a lose face plate on the radio will cause the car to shut down. this has been going on for over a year now. from what the dealership says, after consulting ford , they have replaced anything the can be replaced. i have brought this car many times. the dealer has less repair invoices because they have combined multiple reports into one. if you count the dealership records of how many times, it is alarming. i purchased what i thought was a safe car. 99%of my driving in on the interstate. i fear driving this car and dont want to prove it is unsafe by my death. other problems w/car: traction control fuel gauge. engine surges at idle key sometimes will not go in and turn, sometimes the key will be stuck and you have to keep trying it to get it out. car locks itself after you exit. view

Fuel tank: auxillary selector and switch: the truck is equipped with dual fuel tanks. when the truck is running on the rear tank, and the front tank is full, the rear tank pumps fuel into the already full front tank, causing it to overflow out of the fuel cap and spill down the side of the truck onto to the ground. the ford dealer said that the 1989 to 1993 models were covered by a recall for this problem, but not the 1995 models. i called ford but they would not do anything. i believe that a recall should be ordered on this problem. view

Since i have had the car (2/2000) the driver's seat belt has intermittently loosened 4-6 inches during normal driving conditions as well as while braking. the seatbelt has been replaced 2x, but the problem persisted and the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the seatbelt loosening. the factory rep sent out by lexus also could not find anything the matter. the problem was always intermittent. in late june i rearended 1 possibly 2 cars while going at approx 35mph. the seatbelt failed to hold me in place, i hit the steering wheel sustaining an acute chest wall contusion (documented after being taken by ambulance to the nearest emergency room). lexus continues to claim there is nothing wrong with the seatbelt. view

Although my power window regulator and clips have not failed yet, this is a know problem to vw. they have recently designed a "kit" which has upgraded metal parts, and not plastic parts. they are replacing the pieces after they break, after window falls down into the track. some dealers cover part of the cost ($200!?), some don't. this is a known defect and i think vw should be recalling the cars before failure to replace the window clips and regulators. the years affected are 2000 - 2002, the golf and jetta (and maybe the beetle). presently repair parts are backordered due to the demand. view

Car started making a noise in the front end. it would only start after driving the vehicle for more that 45 minutes. noise was so bad at times that it sounded as if the front end was going to fall out. shortly after, the steering got extremely loose from left and right. steering is so bad, you can't keep the car in between the lines on the road. took to dealer and they diagnosed it as the rack and pinion steering. there are problems with other intrepids and tie-rod end bushings, however, that is not the case with mine. i got a second opinion from another reputable technician and he came to the same conclusion. i have had several techs tell me they have never seen a rack wear out under normal conditions unless the part was manufacturers defect. i have contacted dodge and they will not stand behind it because the 3 year warranty is out. if the part is defective, how can they not stand behind they product or be held responsible? the cost of the repair is $1200.00. because of safety for myself and my children, i can not drive the car until i have the money for repairs. just a note, i financed the car for three years and it won't even be paid for until december of this year. it's ashame that something like this can happen on a car that only has 50,000 miles and less than three years old. thank you in advance for any help you can give me. view

The condenser sustained premature wear due to a defect in the design of the vehicle. the vehicle has a pusher type condenser cooling fan that forces debris into the condenser causing the condenser to sustain damage overtime causing it to fail. my vehicle has never been in a front end collision to warrant such damage. the cooling fins on the condenser get smashed into the condenser causing the freon flow to be restricted and eventual condenser failure. while talking with other owners with 1999 thru 2002 trackers/ suzuki viatras with the 2.0 engine it appears that they also have this problem with premature condenser failure. i contacted chevrolet division but they claimed that the car is out of warranty and nothing can be done. view

Both sliding doors latches failed to engage (lock) the door. one of the latches broke (driver side) after reapeted attempts at trying to make it close. on one occasion, the internal latching mechanism broke inside the door and almost poked a hole through the outer door wall. the latches where supposedly changed once during a recall by honda issued july 1999 which the dealer performed. but the latch failed after recall was performed. apparently this problem affects possible only 1999 models (first year production models). as with any redesigned models, honda has some problems it will need to correct. fortunately for me, the dealer has agreed to replace the latches at no cost to me. however, we are still debating on the body work. when the latch/sliding door does not close, the instrument panel's door lamp warns about it and a buzzer sounds. i also had problems with the door seals that come out when i bump them. view

Starting at about 15,000 miles, this car produced clicking noise from the head/valve train. upon initial inspection, a dealer (not the one where it was bought) told me there was nothing wrong, at 35k, during a highway trip, the noise became pronounced. soon thereafter, i took the car to my local garage and explained the noise and that i noticed the head was running dry without the type of oil splash i have seen in all other cars i have owned. he said that it seems that chysler mini-vans have a lot of problems with the valves and that it was, in his opinion, an oil delivery problem. he said that he had 2 in during the prior few weeks for the same type of problem. he suggested that i should take it to the dealer as this was a serious problem, one that shouldn't exist in a car with 35k miles. when i took the car into the dealer, to my shock, i was told that they would have to do major repairs due to "camshaft failure". although i asked for more detail on the cause of the failure many times, both in writing and on the phone, "camshaft failure" is all they would say about the problem. fortunately for me, they agreed to provide a full "long block" engine replacement (under "courtesy" warranty with $300 "deductible.") because of what my non-dealer mechanic said (that this is a common problem in chrysler mini-vans of my car's vintage and because he opined that there may be a systemic problem with oil delivery, plus the fact that when i checked this site, i found that other people had reported like sounding problems, i feel i should report this. fyi, this car always seemed to run dry (no oil splash when engine run with filler cap off). i think nhtsa might wish to consider investigating to see if this is a common defect due to a manufacturing error. thanks for the help keep up the good work!. view

The original front brake rotors in my 2000 oldsmobile alero (3.4l gls) have worn out far before they should have. from what information i have now found in newspapers and on the internet, this is a common problem with the 1999-2000 alero (and pontiac grand am); gm now manufactures new brake rotors to use as replacements. however, the gm garage that i had my car fixed at (walt sweeney pontiac, cincinnati, oh) did not replace the faulty rotors, but merely machined them so that they won't squeal/pulsate. i called oldsmobile to ask whether this was standard procedure, and whether i could have the new, safer brake rotors installed on my alero: the customer service person i talked with said that the rotors are machined down (made smooth) if it isn't * necessary to replace them. everything i've read on the 2000 alero's brake rotors indicates that they are substandard, and unsafe... there are even a few technical service bulletins out from gm about this (00-05-22-002a, 00-05-23-002a). i believe that the brake rotors are faulty and unsafe; gm, i think, knows this, and has updated their product. i believe that gm should hold a recall and should be replace the brake rotors under warranty; at the very least, when the brake rotors wear out, they should certainly be replaced with the new, more durable brake rotors, rather than sanded down to be replaced again when they wear out in a few months, endangering road safety. view

Vehicle fuse card contains 44 picture symbols with no words, a few symbols being obvious (horn, signals), most symbols being indecipherable (5 identical engine blocks with a lightening bolt; 11 identical symbols which may be seatbelts, books or toilet paper; and brake shoes with a turbine inside). the owner's manual encourages you to carry extra fuses, use the handy fuse removal tool installed in the fuse box cover, and refers you to the fuse card for identification of circuits. when my cruise control failed, i was unable to determine if a fuse might be involved. had a blown fuse affected the engine or lights or other safety system, i would have been unable to correct the problem. volkswagen's customer service line informed me that no additional information was available (in any language) that would interpret the fuse card symbols. my dealer was familiar with the problem, but could provide no additional information. i believe this represents a significant, easily correctable defect, which could prevent the owner from restoring operation of critical vehicle systems in the event of a failure. i would be happy to provide a copy of the fuse card upon your request. view

2002-08-06 Richfield, OH

The car in front of me slowed down so i tried to disengage the cruise control with the cruise control lever. my goal was to slow the car down however it was not working fast enough so i pushed on the brakes. i was unable to push on the brake because it felt like a cement block. my cruise control did not disengage forcing me to pull over onto the shoulder where i was still unable to come to an immediate stop. finally i pushed in the clutch which helped to slow the car down but the brakes still felt very stiff. i believe this was a problem that was created due to my using the cruise conrol. the car was taken to our mechanic who could not find anything wrong with it. i believe, however, that a temporary malfunction occured that caused the cruise control to fail to disengage. view
