What owners wrote

Power steering under carridge wentout which taken the power steering to the wheel. Vehicle is at the dealership waiting for parts. The stereo system failed. Brake makes grinding noise. The rear door light keeps falling down whenever the door closed.

August 2000

Intermittently the turn signals (left and right) fail to indicate the direction the vehicle will be turning. The dealer was contacted and replaced the dashboard cover which did not correct the problem. The odometer also sticks and once this happens all the other gauges stick as well. There are no a recalls for this vehicles VIN number. *nlm
