1987 DODGE ARIES User Comment / Complaint

Car has a problen in the steering box. took it to a specialist and ford discounted it. they sent a lincoln rep down and he just lied to me about the problem said it was a factory flaw and could not fix , then i took the car into the dealer for a pinging and they said they couldn't hear it (nothing was done)then later on a trip it went haywire sounded like a big diesel truck on the highway and ran like crap , sucking gas also, then changed dealers and they said they coulden't find a ping . i grabed me a mechanic and we took a little ride and before i could get it back it was pinging (took them 3 weeks to fix with me coming up almost daily to test it, and nobody can adjust the head lights on the car that is bad its idiot proof  view

The steering wheel shakes while driving at 60-75 mph, on relatively smooth roads. the vibration can sometimes be felt through the floor on the drivers side, and the driver and passenger seats. the severity and location (steering wheel/seats/floor) of the shaking varies with different roads, but never goes away completely, even on newly resurfaced highways. on surface streets (50 mph and less), the shaking is not noticeable. this has most likely lead to a lot of the minor squeaks and rattles in the interior that make the car sound and feel older than it is. i replaced the original tires at about 40,000 miles, and recently had the new tires rotated and balanced, but the problem persists. i have not yet taken the car to the dealer to repair this, since i am still recovering from $1700 worth of repairs i had done to fix the head gasket leak and replace upper strut mounts. this could be a very nice car, if it wasnt for the number of large (and expensive) repairs needed so early in the cars life.  view

In summer of 2002, i paid over $1500 to have a head gasket repaired on my saturn. last thursday, the car was having the same issues and it was determined that it has a cracked engine cylinder. this is an item on a tsb issued from saturn, i realized today. now i am facing over $2000 to have the cylinder replaced, putting my total cost for repairs over $3700 on an issue that saturn has been aware of for some time, yet never notified its customers.  view

My 1998 chevy malibu's 3.1l engine required an intake manifold gasket at around 30000 miles. my car has been using more fluid lately and i am thinking that the gasket will once again require replacing. secondly, my car rusted around the doors and the hood seams. i took the car to the dealer where they fixed the problem under warranty. it has been four months since the repairs and the seams look worse than ever.  view
