THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS DO NOT LOCK SO IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE BACK OF THE CAR AND PUSHES ON THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SEAT THEN THEY CAN BE PUSHED FOWARD. SO IF I WERE TO GET INTO A CAR ACCIEDENT WITH PEOPLE IN THE BACKSEAT AND THEY PUSH ON THE SEAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WILL BE PUSHED INTO THE DASH BOARD. THE SEAT BELTS FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS WILL LOCK UP AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN DRIVING AND WILL NOT LOCK UP WHEN THE DRIVER SLAMS ON THE BRAKES. THE PAINT IS PEELING ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR AND THE TOP DOOR PANELS ON BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. EVERY TIME I WASH MY CAR MORE AND MORE PAINT PEELS OFF THE MAIN AREAS AND SMALLER AREAS FORM.*AK

GLARE FROM DASHBOARD REFLECTING ON THE WINDSHEILD IS DANGEROUS. AT TIMES THE GLARE MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHEN HEADING INTO THE SUN. THIS IS A PROBLEM EVEN WHEN WEARING SUNGLASSES. *AK
