SHOULDER BELT WITH HOOP ATTACHED TO HEAD REST COMES ACROSS DRIVER'S NECK, EVEN AFTER ADJUSTING SEAT. WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED HARD, SHOULDER BELT CHOKED THE DRIVER. OWNER STATED THAT HE EXAMINED NEWER MODELS AND NOTICED HOOPS WERE SMALLER AND ATTACHED AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION. *AK THE SEAT BELTS ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE IN MOTION. THE SEAT BELT GUIDES RIDE ON THE SIDE OF YOUR NECK INSTEAD OF THE SHOULDER. THIS HAS RESULTED IN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER RECEIVING BRUSH BURNS. CONSUMER LATER FOUND OUT THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF 2001 THE GUIDE DESIGN HAD BEEN CHANGED. CONSUMER HAD THE GUIDES ORDERED AND REPLACED.*JG

WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR WAS APPROX. 6 MONTHS OLD. THE ENGINE CRADLE HAS BEEN CHANGED AND THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. IT HAS BEEN TO THE SERVICE DEPT. 4 TIMES AND THEY JUST KEEP US ON A WAITING LIST. THE PROBLEM IS IN THE STEERING. WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT , YOU GET A BANGING OR LOUD CREAKING NOISE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AND WE ARE FEARFUL SOMETHING IS GOING TO LET GO WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. WE ARE VERY SATISFIED WITH THE CAR OTHER THEN THIS PROBLEM...I HOPE YOU CAN GIVE US SOME KIND OF ADVISE OR ANSWER TO OUR PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE DEALER SURE HAS NOT.*AK
