| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: First issue: the windshield wipers fail to operate correctly. i replaced the blades and theres no improvement. they might go up/down 2 or 3 times then get stuck in up position, soon discovered that hitting bumps corrected for few seconds then again, they would fail to work properly. i took the vehicle to the repair shop & they said that it looked like the bearing was loose & later i replaced the wiper motor. #2: the fuel gauge is inaccurate & floats with acceleration or turns. the fuel warning light only illuminates after you've ran out of gas, you are out of gas when needle is slightly above 1/4 tank mark. #3: the front driver seatbelt fails to retract & often is shut in door b/c of failure. also the seatbelt warning light/signal will only operate after you wiggle floor attached buckle. #4: the service engine soon light illuminates & remains lit. when attempting to retrieve trouble code the pcm does not communicate w/ scope diagnoster or when using aldl jumper wire method the service engine soon light never flashes the codes. #5: the driver electric window jumps when lowering & often falls from 1/2 up position & the passenger window rools only 1/2 down then must be pulled up by hand. also, it makes a loud vibrating noise. #6: driver exterior door handle is broken & liftgate lock/latch does not lock & is loose. #7: transmission just suddenly went into neutral while exiting highway @55mph. when i kill the engine momentarily, the restarting problem subsided temporarily & also safety swithches did not function properly (would not start in neutral). i rebuilt the transmission & replaced all associated switches/modules.*ak |
