SEAT BELTS
I DID NOT KNOW WHO TO REPORT THIS TO OR I WOULD HAVE DONE THIS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. EVERY DAY WHEN IT IS THE FIRST TIME TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR THE DAY, I HAVE TROUBLE GETTING THE DRIVERS SIDE SEATBELT TO LATCH. IT DOES NOT LATCH FOR MY FIRST ATTEMPT. BUT IT MAY TAKE A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT FINALLY DOES. I HAVE BEEN VERY CONCERNED THAT AT SOME POINT IT WILL NOT LATCH AT ALL OR THAT I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO UNLATCH IT. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE SEATBELT. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN WITH ME SO THIS IS A CONCERN FOR ME. MY HUSBAND PURCHASED A DEVISE TO CUT THE BELT IF NECESSARY. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS SITUATION CAN BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS FOR THE DRIVER OF THE CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND I KNOW A LOT OF OTHERS ARE HAVING IT TOO. WHEN I'M DRIVING THE CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON WILL RANDOMLY AND CODE SAYING ENGINE POWER REDUCED. MY CAR'S ENGINE POWER WILL REDUCE AND I WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES: ON THE FREEWAY, IN TOWN, AT STOP LIGHTS, GOING UP HILLS, ON FLAT GROUND, WHEN I FIRST TURN MY CAR ON, AFTER DRIVING FOR 5 HOURS. THERE IS NO PATTERN. AFTER I TURN MY CAR OFF FOR A COUPLE MINUTES, THE LIGHT TURN OFF AND MY CAR RUNS OK AGAIN. IT HAPPEN AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, BUT SOMETIMES 4 OR 5 TIMES WEEK.
