| I pulled into my driveway after work and was going to park my car when i heard this crunch sound. i then noticed that the car was sitting lopsided on the rear passenger side and since then the car has been making crunching sounds. the dash lights also went out along w/the heater. it no longer blows cold air it is always hot air and the temperature is at its lowest. this all started w/a vacuum leak. the passenger side seat belt also retracted slow and now it doesn't even retract. this car seems to have one problem after another and all at once. i bought this car for my daughter cuz i wanted her to have a safe vehicle to drive for college, but it doesn't seem to be turning out that way. she is now driving my car because i don't want to have to worry about her on the road. *tr | |||
