| Fuel pump seal disintegrated. cost $1,081.00 (including 3 day car rental). earlier this year there was a recall on the steering column and i wound up paying an additional $600 for other defects not covered by the recall. think that this and many additional problems on this car constitute it being a lemon. more than 5 recalls in 7 years. *nlm | |||

| In april 2002 i received a letter from teh recall information processing center, royal oak, mi in regards to a defect with the ignition switch. when i checked the internet nhtsa i found out that in fact this was not the only recall on my car. the is also an airbag, check engine light and mud flip kit recall. i contacted the dealer and brought my car in to repair all these defects. the next day the check engine light came on again and the car was running rough again. i contacted the dealership and reported the problem. i was told that this has nothing to do with the recall and that the recall for the check engine light was fixed the day before and i have to pay if i want to find out what is causing that light to come on. i am not satisfied at all. first of all, i was never contacted in regards to all these other recalls. i have problems with my car everysince around the middle of 2002. when i drive and take my foot of the gas pedal the car keeps going the same speed without slowing down, sometimes it even speeds up. the engine check light keeps coming on and the engine runs real rough. also when driving the car keeps jerking, like somebody is hitting the brakes and then speeds ups right afterwards. all these problems occur at no particular speed. please be so kind and assist me in this matter or advise me who i have to contact. thank you so much. best regards, manuela m. leno. *ak | |||

| My ets off light and my check engine light has been illuminated for the past 10 months. the code 1810, which is the tcc switch, has shown when my car has been scanned. my car has been seen by several mechanics . the switch has been replaced twice and it did not solve the problem. the mechanics told me that i needed a new transmission. i had a new transmission put in. the lights came back on which caused my car not to shift properly. all the mechanics that have looked at my car said that getting a new transmission would fix the problem. which it has not. what can you recommend i do. do i have to pay for this transmission even though it hasn't fixed anything? also this problem happened shortly after my warranty expired. | |||
