“Driver's side door wouldn't lock. Dealership ordered a new latch for door. Latch was the wrong part. Currently, she couldn't open the door at all. Then, they replacedit again, and she could open door from outside. Third time door was completly broken. Door didn't open at all. Dealership was aware of problem.”
NHTSA complaint #891606, filed 2001-06“The driver's door more than the passenger's side door, will intermittently lock up or jam. When this problem occurs consumer cannot open the door from the outside with the key. Nor can he open from the inside by using the door latch.”
NHTSA complaint #821646, filed 1998-03“When the defrost steams the windows there is a significant amount of water/moisture that enters the passenger compartment. Creates a visibility hazard, fogs all windows. Water also drains onto floorboards. Parking brake disengaging is very intermittent. Never can tell if it will hold. Relying solely on reverse gear for holding vehicle. Have ran out of gas twice with fuel gauge problem. Goes all the way up when filled, but will not go below 1/4 of a tank. Consistent problem. Shifting into first often requires first shifting into fifth then back to 1st in order to engage. …”
