Rack and pinion was repaired by dealership in South bend. Started to smell gas fumes in vehicle while driving to Washington. Tried to get repairs in South Dakota but was unable to find a dealership who would repair it. Located dealership in pasco, washinton torepair the fuel line which was not connected properly after rack repair, as I was told by dealer. Battery exploded while in parking lot at local mall. Air conditioner started emitting musty smell. Had air conditioner charged twice and it still doesnt seem to hold a charge. Car would not start on 12/3/1999. Thinking it was the battery, tried to jump the car but was told by mechanic that it sounded like it might be the timing belt. Now I find the water pump leaked which may have caused a blown gasket.
