| This complaint is in regards to nhtsa campaign id number 95v222000 and mfg. campaign no. 95s27. i had the required recall work done at the dealership on 2/27/1996. all foreign material was to be removed from the air intake and a new fresh air screen was to be installed. on 6/24/1999 the entire air conditioning system had to be replaced because the main a/c control unit had burned out. on 8/16/1999 i returned the vehicle to the dealership because of smoke and a burning smell whenever the a/c was used and was advised that leaves and debris had been removed. i returned the vehicle to the dealership on 10/28/1999 because of smoke and burning smell once again when using the a/c. i am very concerned about a vehicle fire and want to know why this problem keeps occurring, especially since it was to have been corrected due to the recall campaign in 1995. i don't want my children hurt by a fire in this car. | |||

| My mechanic was fixing the front manifold gasket problem, when he took it for a test drive, the rear manifold gasket went. the fix for this problem means drilling out the bolts, which crack and cannot be used again. my mechanic has done many of these drillings and says it's a major problem that the car manufacturer should be addressing. the oil leak is becoming major, and i will have to take care of it soon. my mechanic has informed me that the transmission will need to come out in order to fix the leak. he has also done many of these repairs too, for this particular type of vehicle. | |||
