| Bumper problems |
The engine has an uneven idle and hesistates at 2200 rpm. Four lifters were replaced under warranty at 23k miles. The engine was remanufactured under warranty to fix an oil consumption problem at 28k miles. The car now has 75k miles and is again burning oil at 1 quart/1k miles. The caster alignment is off by 1. 2 degrees and cannot be fixed. The front bumper is falling off because the thin metal plate that holds it on has rusted off. The horn has stopped working seven different times, due to a problem with the ground and wiring in general.
The front bumper has come off twice on this same car. I would like to know if other owners of this same model/make have reported the same problem.
