Recall 99v325000 concerning stalling. Vehicle was experiencing an electrical problem that interfered with performance. Vehicle was recalled and repairs done, but symptoms returned. Manufacturer claimed no responsibility because consumer was not the original owner. Check engine light was on. The vehicle vibrated, smoked and was overheating. The left front tire blew out. Ignition coils cracked and were replaced. Vehicle had a blown head gasket. Front left turn signal clips broke. Oxygen sensor failed. Right front door lock fell off. Vehicle had several parts on recall before the consumer purchased it and the consumer believed those recalled parts were the source of the problem.
Vehicle has been in dealership for surging, check engine light also on.
Check engine light came on in April 2000. I have taken the vehicle in six times to get the repair complete. At this time the light is off. The last repair was made on oct. 9, 2000. The dealers keeps replacing the same part. I think that it is something wrong with the electrical system that causes a power surge that then damages the tps module.
The vehicle check engine light is constantly on, vehicle has been to dealer several occasions, to have various parts repaired and replaced, vehicle began smoking from the engine compartment, dealer has tried all types of remedies but problem still exists.
