Ok, Im finally fed up with my 98 318 CC 4x4 Sport's extreme loss of power and
*umph*. The damn thing is like a lead sled. It can barely get out of its own
way!!! Im am pasteing a list of my complaints and of what im giving the
dealer. My question is this, are there any service bulletins about the
following problems? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Big Mike
1. Drivers seat is loose. (Rocks/slides back and forth. Especially when
braking)
2. REAR stabilizer bar end links worn out. (had to insert thick washers
to reduce knocking
noise and slack)
3. REAR shocks compress heavily under lightest of load.(Both shocks
leaking some sort of fluid)
4. CD player won't play/read CD's at times and often wont eject CD when
button is pressed.
5. Smell of antifreeze present after driving vehicle.
6. Steering column often vibrates extremely on all types of road
surfaces.
(Slack can be felt by shaking the column) Makes metal on metal knocking
noise.
7. Little or no acceleration from complete stop or when attempting to
pass another vehicle.
Transmission never shifts the same way twice. Vehicle seems to bog
down when attempting
to pass. Extremely poor gas mileage lately. Feels like vehicle
running at 50% performance,
Doesn't matter if engine is hot or cold.
