NHTSA complaint #716031, filed 1999-12“The ABS do not lock up sometimes when I slow down at an intersetion. The door skins on both doors have become separated seversal times which makes the car doors not shut all the way which has almost caused me and others our lives. The power windows and locks always break so that I can not open my door or windows they also come off track . The windshield wipers scratch the windshield so it has to be replaced and they do not wipe the whole windshield which leaves blind spots in my point of sight causing me to pull over to not cause recks.”
