| 1995 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH | THE WIRES FROM THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND TURN SIGNAL STALK CRACKED FROM CONSTANT FLEXING. THIS IS IN THE SMALL LOOP JUST BEFORE THE WIRES ENTER THE STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY. THE INITIAL AFFECT WAS INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHTS GOING OFF WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL WAS USED. I SPLICED THE WIRES ONCE LAST SUMMER, BUT IT FAILED AGAIN. THE RED WIRE TO THE HEADLIGHT RELAY IS VERY THIN. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED BOTH TIMES NEAR HOME. I SAW SIMILAR CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ON YOUR DATABASE: 536495, 976418, 977383. |
| 2000 | SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER | THE METAL PLATES/BARS INSIDE THE BUCKET SEATS CAN BE FELT. AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING, THE SEAT CUSHION COMPRESSES AND THESE PLATES PUT PRESSURE ON THE LOWER BACK AND CAUSE SEVERE BACK PAIN. *AK |
