 Purchased car in May, 2004, have had 
problems with slow/hesitation on 
acceleration, grinding left front 
wheel, engine hesitation, shaking 
steering wheel, steering column, brake 
pedal and gas pedal.  Service manager 
thought transmission; 
factory rep replaced computer instead. 
The engine slows down when the air, 
heat or defrost is on. Told that engine 
parameters are when engine reaches 50 
degrees, the steering wheel 
shakes/vibrate until engine warms up.  
Live in Central New York, started 
having problems this July.  In the past 
week, night temps gone to 42 degrees.  
When drive to work, engine warms after 
10 minutes, steering wheel still 
vibrates.
