| While driving 40 mph and when brakes were depressed the vehicle pulled from side to side. *ak there was a clunk after the brakes were released, the front tires rubbed on the frame when turning, three belts were installed within 6000, the vehicle smelled like oil, even with the a/c on. the motor rattled before the gears were shifted, with the a/c on the motor would surge up and down to the point where the vehicle would pull. after the consumer would take his foot off of the gas there would be a slight acceleration, the vehicle would hesitate and lunge forward. the vehicle was sometimes hard to start and must be cranked several times. there was a rattle in the rear of the rear of the vehicle as if something was loose moving back and forth. poor alignment had worn the tires on the outside edge. the bolt from the vehicle was found in the driveway, and the rear window had an air leak. *sc *jb | |||
