| 1999 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL | WIFE HAS HAD THREE MAJOR CRASHES WITH TWO GRAND VITARAS. DURING NONE OF THE INCIDENTS DID THE DRIVER'S SIDE OR PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOY. FIRST INCIDENT WAS IN DECEMBER OF 98. THAT VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED. SECOND INCIDENT WAS IN APRIL OF 99, AND THE THIRD INCIDENT WAS IN SEPTEMBER OF 99 . SECOND VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, AND IS BACK ON THE ROAD. *AK *ML |
| 2005 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT CONTROLLER | MY WIFE HAD JUST STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AFTER PUTTING THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION AND WALKED INSIDE TO GRAB SOMETHING FROM HER PARENT'S HOUSE. WHEN SHE RETURNED THE DOORS HAD AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED HER OUT, SHE HAD TO CALL A FRIEND TO BRING AN EXTRA KEY. LUCKILY SHE DIDN'T HAVE OUR DAUGHTER WITH HER OR SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN LOCKED INSIDE. WE JUST FIGURED IT WAS AN AUTOMATIC ANTI-THEFT PROGRAM, BUT DIDN'T REALIZE OTHERS WERE HAVING PROBLEMS. FROM NOW ON, WE JUST MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE KEYS ON US, OR ROLL THE WINDOW IF THE VEHICLE IS STILL RUNNING WHEN YOU STEP OUT OF IT EVEN JUST FOR A SECOND. *NM |
