| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 1997 | CHILD SEAT | CONSUMER HAD TO CUT THE STRAP ON THE INTEGRATED SEAT IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE CHILD, THE SEAT WAS UNDER RECALL 98V-0185 BUT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED DUE TO LACK OF PARTS. NLM |
| 1998 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY | WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL A GASOLINE ODOR ENTERS THE PASSENGER CABIN OF THE VEHICLE, AND GASOLINE LEAKS UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE FUEL TANK SEAL WAS REPLACED, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK WHEN CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY SUGGESTED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE THE COLLAR ON TOP OF THE TANK SHAPED LIKE AN EGG INSTEAD OF THE CIRCULAR SHAPE; HOWEVER, CONSUMER REFUSED BECAUSE HE BELIEVED THAT IT WAS MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. *LA |
