Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The center seat belt is locked against the seat and cannot be utilized. The climate control sticks and cannot be set to different temperatures. The transmission surges in, it seems in second and third gear. I saw these problems on the web site as recalls for the 2000 to 2001 year models of this auto. Well the one I have is 2002 but was manufactured in 2001.”
