Once the fuel gauge registered half full it would stop operating. The dealer found that the electrical wiring to the fuel pump had melted and the fuel pump had to be replaced. The rear tail light assembly was cracked.
Cars front suspension began popping and moaning. Car can not make tight turns without sounding like the front end is going to break into pieces. I took the car to local GM dealership(j.p. Harvey) after getting the recall information on ntsb website. The parts department said they tightened the hub bolts. However, since the car was so old refused to check ball joint or any other of the recalled parts.
