FRONT PASSENGER RESTRAINT BELT RETRACTOR HAS FAILED TWO TIMES. DEALERSHIP REPAIRED SEAT BELT RETRACTOR AT CONSUMERS EXPENSE IN SEPTEMBER 2000 AND PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED. *AK *YH

WE NOTIFIED THE DEALER ABOUT 1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR THAT WE THOUGHT THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TOLD US NOTHING WAS WRONG. TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 46,000. STILL WASN'T "RIGHT" AFTER REBUILT TRANSMISSION. AFTER OUR INSISTANCE, ADDITIONAL TESTING WAS DONE, SPEED SENSOR WAS REPLACED. CAR WAS SPEEDING UP ON ITS' OWN. OUR CLAIM IS THAT THE SPEED SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE BEGINNING CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. *AK

WHILE DRIVING BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, BUT PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG HAD A HOLE IN IT WHICH CAUSED PASSENGER MINOR INJURIES BECAUSE IT WAS NOT FULLY DEPLOYED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATON.*AK
