| 1994 | SEATS | THE MOUNT UNDER THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS BROKEN AND IS UNABLE TO BE FIXED WITH A BOLT. THIS OCCURED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROADWAY. WHEN THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE MAKES A LEFT TURN, THE SEAT LEANS TO THE RIGHT. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD. THE REAR END OF THE CAR ALSO MAKES A SCRUBBING SOUND WHEN THERE ARE MORE THAN TWO PEOPLE IN THE CAR. THE SOUND IS MADE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND WHEN ACCELERATING SLOWLY FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I ALSO HAD TO PAY FOR A CRACKED HEAD GASKET IN LATE 2001. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RECALL ON THE HEAD GASKETS UNTIL THE DAY MY CAR WAS PUT IN THE SHOP. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD MY MILEAGE WAS TOO HIGH FOR THE HEAD GASKET TO BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. |
