DID someone say the
cold weather was on its
way?

it may be too soon if you
own one of the 48,000
Chrysler Neons that are prone
to ice buildup on the throttle.

Transport Canada says the
2000-model-vear vehicles are
susceptible to ice buildup in

around the -30 C mark, and
while the cars are being driven
on the highway. [f the throute
ices up it may not be able to
return to the idle position.

The problem is the routing
of a positive crankcase ventila-
tion or PCV hose. It will be
relocated to alleviate the con-
dition.

The owners of more than

Mercury Grand = Marquis
sedans will be receiving a little
package in the mail trom Ford
giving them new instructions
on how to change their tres in
the event of a Hat.

The 1998 model cars, says
Transport. Canada, can
become a nasty piece of busi-
ness because of incorrect jack-
ing instructions in the manual.

Those wrong instructions
direet the operator to put the
jack on a weld spot on the car’s

ng Norn

frame. That spot isn’t strong,
enough to hold the vehicle if
the wheels arent chocked.

The concern is that, if the
car fails froin the jack, some-
one could be trapped under
the vehicle.

Ford’s package includes
new instructions advising own-
ers to put the jack several inch-
es forward of the weld spot
and recommends thar the
wheels be blocked. A jack
warning label will also be

included.

SUV is no longer beyond belief.

It's almost tao good to be true.
