When vehicle is facing down hill, and you put in reverse it goes forward.I spoke to the service advisor he said it was normal.I personally do not think its normal.I have an `89 Ford tempo as old as it is it does not roll downhill when in reverse and facing downhill.I have come close to hitting my garage door because of that. Also when putting in gear in any kind of land level it cracks and makes noises. Tires vibrate, front ones also on the highway it strays to the right a lot. I`ve checked air pressure on tires to make sure that did not cause the pulling to the right, and it was not that.air pressure is lost a lot also, every 2-3 weeks air in front tires goes down approximateley 4-6 pounds, and rears go down 2-3 puonds.I have to check air pressure on a weekly bases.( dot number: Tire size: P195/65R15 )
