“Any day the sun is shining, the glare off the dashboard is extreme and results in little to no visibility when entering tunnels, underpasses or even sections of road that are shaded by trees.”
NHTSA complaint #10145408, filed 2005-12, 1 miles“1. The front, right (passenger) door of the car is coming loose, 2. Reported it to dealership and manufacturer, and 3. Dealer has scheduled appointment to look at problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10132056, filed 2005-08, 2,950 miles“Dt: the contact stated there was not enough room between the floor and bottom of the dashboard. There was no way that the contact's husband could get foot to the brake. This almost caused several accidents. There is only 11 inches between the floor and the dashboard . Updated 1/19/2006 - there is little clearance between the pedals and the underside of the dash which resulted in the consumer shoe hitting the underside of the dash limiting his ability to move his foot between the brake pedal and accelerator pedal.”
