IN OCTOBER 1997, THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT JAMMED IN THE FULLY RETRACTED POSITION. I HAD IT REPLACED AND DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT. THEN IN JULY 1998, THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH HE BELT FOR THE RIGHT SECOND BENCH SEAT POSITION. I HAD THIS BELT REPLACED, BUT THIS TIME I ASKED THE DEALER FOR THE DEFECTIVE BELT. I HAVE IT. DO YOU WANT IT? I FEEL THAT ONE FAILURE MAY HAVE BEEN BAD LUCK, BUT TWO FAILURES SEEMS LIKE THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPONENTS.

WHEN WE WENT TO LIFT THE TAIL GATE TO REMOVE MY DAUGHTER'S FRIEND'S BIKE, WE ENCOUNTERED RESISTANCE. WE DISCOVERED THAT THE UPPER BOLT THAT ATTACHES THE STRUT TO THE LIFT GATE HAD BROKEN IN TWO. WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART, WE STARTED TO HEAR STORIES ABOUT THIS FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED (SATURDAY) AND WE LEFT FOR A CAMPING TRIP ON MONDAY, RETURNING TODAY. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ACKNOWLEDGED A RECALL ON ANOTHER YEARS MODEL, BUT WERE UNHELPFUL WITH MY PROBLEM. THESE GATES ARE VERY HEAVY AND I AM JUST GLAD THAT THE GATE DID NOT COME CRASHING DOWN ON MY DAUGHTER'S HEAD!

TRANSMISSION FAILURE TOO SOON FOR 63000 MILE OF NORMAL WEAR; AND LESS THAN 16000-18000 MILE OF WEAR ON THE 2ND. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, AND WILL NOT REPAIR UNLESS COST IS PICKED UP BY THE CONSUMER. *AK

WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK

ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHT REMAIN ON FOR APPROX. 2 MINUTES AFTER STARTING VEHICLE.

TRANSMISSION FAILED 3 TIMES. INDEPENDENT MECHANICS INDICATES THAT 4TH TRANSMISSION IS FAILING. DEALS CLAIM TO NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS, THEY HAVE EVEN RESET THE FAULT CODES SO THAT NO PROBLEM IS INDICATED.

96V099000. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED ABOUT FOUR TIMES AND THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS, JUST RECEIVED RECALL INFORMATION, CONTACTED THE DEALER TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, REMAINS ON HOLD UNTIL THE REPAIR WORK CAN BE DONE FOR THE FIFTH TIME. *AK
