IT WILL NOT START!! I HAVE TO LISTEN FOR THE FUEL PUMP TO START CIRCULATING BEFORE I TURN THE KET ON ALL THE WAY. I HAVE DROPPED THE FUEL TANK, AND REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP 5 TIMES, THE PLUG AND WIRES ON THE FUEL PUMP, THE FUEL RELAY, YOU NAME IT I HAVE FIXED IT AT LEAST TWICE. AFTER A MONTH OR NO LONGER THAN TWO, I'M FIXING IT AGAIN. THIS WILL BE THE 6TH TIME UNLESS I GOT SOME MORE HELPFUL INFORMATION. WE HAVE A NEW MOTOR IN IT AND NEW TRANSMISSION TOO. IT HAS 140,000 MILES ON IT AND I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF IT.*AK

WHEN MAKING ANY SLIGHT TURN, STEERING WILL SEEM TO LOOSE PRESSURE WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK 2-3 INCHES. THE DRIVER MUST PAY CLOSE ATTENTION AT ALL TIMES TO CORRECT THIS OVERSTEER OR THE VEHICLE WILL END UP IN ANOTHER LANE OR OFF THE ROAD. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. ALL OF THE EVIDENCE AND COMPLAINTS EXIST FOR A SAFETY RECALL BUT 7 YEARS LATER....NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY SPORADIC AND MAY NOT OCCUR FOR WEEKS AT A TIME AND THEN SUDDENLY IT WILL OCCUR CONSTANTLY FOR HUNDREDS OF MILES. I RAN INTO AN INTERSTATE MEDIAN ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO, WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH, TRYING TO CORRECT A STEERING "JERK." THIS COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE ALL BECAUSE A SAFETY RECALL WAS NEVER ISSUED EVEN AFTER A DEFECT INVESTIGATION RECOGNIZED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. *NM

MY FAMILY AND I WERE RETURNING FROM A WEEKEND VACATION IN ARIZONA ON OUR WAY HOME. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT JUST PAST THE CALIFORNIA/ARIZONA STATE LINE I HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND OUR VEHICLE LOST POWER.
