Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Door does not shut properly; have to lift up & then close it. The motorized seat belts do not work properly; they are not retracting backwards or fowards like they should. Consumer states door hinge is not strong enough, it starts to wear after several years, dealer states that hinge can not be adjusted that it has to be replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #819871, filed 1997-11“The doors have been a problem for quite a few years, they seem to be too heavy for the hinges as they sag and require us to lift the door to get them to shut. The front seat automatic seat belts don't work properly at all as they do not know when to retract and passenger side stays at bottom of track and shutters all the time. The parking brake pedal does not stay elevated, which causes the in-dash brake light to come on during operation.”
