What owners report

2005-10-18, Engine And Engine Cooling
(1) DRIVING NORMALLY DOWN THE ROAD, SUDDENLY (2) THE CAR HAD NO POWER (COULD NOT ACCELERATE, IT FELT LIKE THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WERE GONE), BUT THE ENGINE APPEARED TO BE RUNNING (I COULD STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND CHANGE THE ENGINE RPMS), BUT DIDN'T GENERATE ANY POWER (IMPROPER AIR/FUEL RATIO?). ONCE I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE STALLED. (3) I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. IF I STARTED THE CAR NORMALLY, IT WOULD TURN OVER, BUT NOT START--IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS FLOODED. HOWEVER, BY STOMPING HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHILE STARTING THE CAR ALLOWED IT TO START NORMALLY AND I COULD CONTINUE. THIS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 5 TIM

WIPER LOOSES CONTACT WITH WINDSHIELD BETWEEN 1 AND 11 OCLOCK POSITION. THIS OCCURS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND RESULTS IN INEFFECTIVE CLEARING OF RAIN. I HAD HEARD ON A WEB SITE THAT THE ARMS WERE MIS-CAST. THE WIPER SPRINGS ARE STRONG AND GIVE GOOD TENTION BUT BOTTOM OUT PREVENTING CONTACT WITH THE WINSHIELD BECAUSE THE WIPER ARM PORTION NEAR WHERE IT BOLTS TO THE MOTOR MUST FLARE OUT TO FAR. I REMOVED THE ARM AND IT IS A SOLID CAST MATERIAL, PERHAPS ALUMINUM. IT DOESNT APPEAR THAT IT COULD BEND EASILY. IT'S CROSS WEBBED AN SEEMS ALMOST STRUCTUAL IN STRENGH. SO THE BLADE WHEN IT'S ALMOST STRAIGH UP SEEMS TO FLAP AROUND ABOUT 1/4 ABOVE THE GLASS.
