| STEERING - LINKAGES - TIE ROD ASSEMBLY | |||
| 07/21/2006 | 1 | ||
| When driving the car the front end was making very loud noises which became worse when driving over bumpy roads. i had one tie rod replaced a few years ago but the noise was only slightly better and no one could figure out what was causing it. the noise got severe and i took it to another mechanic and i had to have the left and right tie rods, the left and right side stabilizer bars and the driver side upper control arm replaced. there was a recall on the car in approximately 2000 at which time i brought the car in to the dealership where they supposedly inspected it and said there was nothing wrong and no parts were replaced. i am now having these problems with the car that all seem to be related to the recall regarding the front suspension. there is also a problem with the accelerator pedal sticking which now needs to be fixed. and on rainy days it has become almost impossible to drive the car because the front window defogger does not seem to work properly and the inside of the car fogs up severely causing me to have to pull off the road. *nm | |||
