WHILE DRIVING WITH CHILD IN VEHICLE IT JUST STALLED, AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE, AND NOT HIT ANYTHING. DEALER CONTACTED, BUT COULDN'T DO REPAIRS UNTIL 3-3-2000. *AK

WHILE TRYING TO PULL OUT VEHICLE HESITATED, EVEN IN TRAFFIC. TOOK TO DEALER, AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN KNOWN TO LAST BETWEEN 70,000 AND 100,OOO MILES. YET, THIS TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 63,000. CONSUMER FELT VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE BECAUSE BY PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY IT MIGHT NOT TAKE OFF RIGHT AWAY, BUT THEN IT WILL KICK IN. *AK

WHILE DRIVING ONE OF THE TWO SUPPORTERS ON THE BOTTOM FRAME OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT SNAPPED. *AK

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON CRASH THERE WAS NO DEPLOYMENT OF DRIVER'S SIDE OR PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAGS. VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

WE ALSO EXPERIENCED A TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHICH WAS REBUILT AT 80,000 MILES IN 09/15/1995, THE PAINT IS PEELING, THE BLACK WINDOW PANELS ARE PEALING AND WHEN THE FAN IS STARTED A KNOCKING SOUND COMES FROM THE RIGHT FRONT BLOWER. DO WE HAVE A LEMON? WE HAVE TALKED TO THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS SEEM EXTENSIVE. AT THIS POINT, THE CAR IS AT THE DEARLER WITH THE HEAD GASKET PROBLEM (AFTER PAYING $118 WHEN IT FIRST OVERHEATED THE DAY AFTER PICKING THE CAR UP FROM OVERHEATING WHEN THE DEALER SAID THAT A THERMOSTAT WAS THE PROBLEM). DO WE HAVE ANY RECOURSE?
