THANK GOD THERE WAS ROOM TO GET OVER. ALL THE LIGHTS WERE FLICKERING ALL OVER THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR JUST LEAKS EVERYWHERE,WATER,OIL,TRANS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE CARS. I CANT EVEN GET MINE SMOG BECAUSE I HAVE TO KEEP UNPLUGGING MY BATTERY BECAUSE NOW WE HAVE A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SOMEWHERE. I BROUGHT A LEMON.....OH YEAH! I CALLED THE DEALER, THEY CANT REPLACE THE CRUISE CONTROL UNLESS THE ABS LIGHT STAYS ON. I HOPE I DON'T DIE CAUSE THE AIRBAGS WONT WORK BECAUSE I HAVE A ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE. 2 BATTERIES WERE REPLACED,ALTERNATOR TOO. THE CLOCKSPRING WONT WORK FOR MY CAR ONLY THE CRUISE CONTROL SO SAID THE DEALER. I WOULD FEEL BAD SELLING THIS CAR TO A FAMILY ,CAUSE WHAT IF THEY WERE KILLED. I COULDN'T DEAL WITH THAT. THE DAY THAT HAPPENED WAS ON MY DAUGHTER 16TH BIRTHDAY. I HAD TO STOP EVERYWHERE ALL DAY TO PUT WATER IN THE RADIATOR JUST TO KEEP IT COOL ENOUGH NOT TO RUIN HER DAY.

THE CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY THAT IS HOUSED IN THE STEERING COLUMN HAS FAILED DUE TO A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW. THE ASSEMBLY CONTROLS THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG, THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE HORN. AS A RESULT OF THIS FAILURE, I HAVE AN AIRBAG NOTIFICATION LIGHT THAT STAYS ON AND BOTH THE CRUISE CONTROL AND HORN DO NOT FUNCTION. THIS SPECIFIC ITEM IS THE SUBJECT OF A RECENT RECALL, HOWEVER, MY VIN# DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE LIST OF VEHICLES THE MANUFACTURER HAS DETERMINED PRONE TO FAILURE. AS A RESULT, I AM LIABLE FOR IDENTICAL REPAIRS WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF REDRESS.

THIS STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND IS INTERMITTENT. THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS ON A NUMBER USUALLY BETWEEN 0 AND 10 MPH, BUT THE VEHICLE IS GOING MUCH FASTER THAN INDICATED. IT BOBBLES UP AND DOWN AND THEN SEEMS TO FUNCTION OKAY. IT'S GOING TO THE DEALER THIS WEEK. *NLM
