SO FAR, WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM CAME LOOSE AND FLOPPED AROUND WHILE DRIVING IN SEVERE STORM. TRANSMISSION MAKES A LOUD CLUNK WHEN RE ACCELERATING AT 5 AND 20 MPH. WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM WAS TIGHTENED, NO PROB. SINCE. TRANSMISSION STILL CLUNKS AND HAVE HAD IN TO DEALER 4 TIMES ALREADY. THEY HAVE REPLACED A CONTROL ARM AND A BALL JOINT. THEN HAD TO TAKE BACK TO HAVE STEERING WHEEL REALIGNED DUE TO THEIR NEGLECT. AFTER THAT STEERING WHEEL MADE A CLICKING NOISE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE CLUNK OR TO EVEN RE CREATE IT. IT HAPPENS FOR ME DAILY. NEXT CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AT NIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING GARAGE. UNABLE TO STEER CAR. TODAY, BRAKES ACTED LIKE THEY WEREN'T GOING TO STOP THE CAR, SOUNDED AND FELT LIKE A SPRING THAT IS BEING DEPRESSED AND NOT ABLE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LOAD. MY MAIN COMPLAINT,CONCERN IS THAT CAR WILL SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STEER AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, THAT THE CLUNKING IN TRANSMISSION AND IS A DESIGN DEFECT. *TR
