“My driver's side seat belt has been broken for a while now because I cannot fix it. I have to tie the seat belt into a not to hold the extra part of the belt in place for it to be safe to wear. It has given me problems since I bought it in aug 2000 along with the calpers which I replaced. The whole car has given me problems: the heating system, the jumpiness from the belts on the motor, rear suspension. Over $1000.00 has been put in it for the past 1.5 yrs I have had it.”
