1 Steering Idler Arm problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2004

The entire car is defective, though it does not state it is a lemon. I purchased it used. I have replaced many major parts that are not considered routine maintenance, such a driver's door hinges and bearings, hood release cable, steering arm (twice) hubs (twice) the wiring system is faulty. I have gone through 4 alternators in under 2 1/2 years.

2 Steering Idler Arm problem

Failure Date: 07/06/2001

When the steering idler arm fell off the front left side sounds like it's going to come through the hood! and they can't seem to figure out the problem!!.
