When I took it to the dealer, the service department stated to me well it's not a perfect science you know and proceeded to do nothing to investigate it or repair it. I have also been having problems with the lights in the instrument panel. The MPH light is blinking on and off and just the other day the light info bar went completely off and I couldn't read my computer info. …”

NHTSA complaint #10971064, filed 2017-04, 72,000 miles“I have a complaint about seatbelts in recent (2000) car models. I've ridden in Chevrolet, chrysler, ford and gmc vehicles and all these vehicles (at least in the front seats) have retractable shoulder harnesses. These harnesses keep retracting when you have them on as you are driving. Since I am only 5 feet tall, the harness chokes me. On most occasions when this happens, I can slide the harness over my head and only be belted in with the seatbelt until I can either pull over safely to fix it or am at a stop light or sign and can fix it. …”
