| 1999 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | DT: THE CONSUMER COULD HEAR THE RADIATOR COMING ON/OVER AND OVER AGAIN. PREVIOUSLY IT OVERHEATED IN JUNE 2004. WHEN THE CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS THEY CHANGED THE THERMOSTAT, ADDED MORE WATER TO THE RADIATOR, AND SOMETHING ELSE IN THE TRANSMISSION AREA. WHEN THE CONSUMER PICKED UP THE VEHICLE THE PROBLEM RECURRED. AFTERWARDS, THERE WAS A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD. THEY TOLD HER THAT IT WAS DUE TO A BRACKET THAT BROKE.. DEALER REPLACED THE RADIO. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS NO LONGER WORKING PROPERLY SINCE THEY REPLACED THE RADIO. ALSO, THE DASHBOARD WAS LOOSENING AND THERE WERE WIRES SHOWING. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW KNOB CAME OFF. THESE WERE THE ONLY KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. THERE HAD BEEN NO ACCIDENTS CONCERNING THESE ISSUES. *AK |
| 1999 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL | CAR IS LEASED TO ME AND THE DASHBOARD IS PUCKERING NEAR THE AIRBAG. WHEN I TURN ON THE HEAT THE AIRBAG POPS LIKE IT'S GOING TO POP OUT. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THEM , BECAUSE THE DASHBOARDS DO PUCKER, BUT I DIDN'T RECEIVE THE RECALL NOTE THE PREVIOUS PEOPLE WHO LEASED/ OWNED THIS CAR RECEIVED THE NOTE. |
