1 Steering Linkages problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2001

Interior overhead sagging above dome light, tried to have dealer fix (same condition after "repair"). Traction control button failed, had to be replaced. Ash tray light failed 3 times, dealer replaced. Ventilation blower only works on high speed - all other speeds burned out over 2 weeks (could smell electrical burning). Remote control works half of the time, no improvement after dealer replaced batteries, saying "white film" was a known cause of remotes not working. Change oil light came on 1000miles after last oil change, coinciding with fan blower burning out. Had to replace all 4 tires because of irregular wearing on rear and premature alignment drift on the front. Brake dust is excessive - front rims always coated black from dust. Some hesitation when automatic is shifting gears. Oxygen sensor replaced after 4 trips to the dealer to determine cause of "service engine soon light" coming on while accelerating. Adding 1liter engine coolant per month - no leaks noted under vehicle.
