problem #1

960 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 22,576 miles
When making a right turn vehicle makes a loud noise. Dealer has attempted to repair vehicle, but the problem continues; dealer cannot determine the cause of the problem. The power steering pipe failed and caused a loud knocking sound in the front end. A service bulletin was issued for this problem in 1998. The consumer is requesting that the repairs be made free of charge since many unnecessary repairs were made to the vehicle to alleviate the noise prior to the warranty expiring. The A/C was not cooling. The rear brake rotors wore below specs. The dealer replaced the rotors and the pads.
