This car is just one problem after another.
Trunk does not open, alternator went, power steering is going, had to replace battery, the check engine light came on and went off for about 4 hours, then right back on.
I am lucky if the car will go above 70mph, and when it even comes close the car shakes.
The whole wiper system went and had to replace that.
The car also starts making loud noises around 60 mph as if there is a hole in the exhaust (which there isn't).
You can shake the steering wheel without the tires turning, but they wobble as if they are loose?
Maybe I got the bad seed out of the bunch, but either way I'm not happy with the car at all.
Never buying a Protege again.
O.k. you have a vehicle with 100,000 miles on the clock and some wear on the steering, most likely tie rod ends.
Did you get any work done regarding the engine? Plugs, timing belt, etc?
