SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
2ND TIME REAR SEAT BELTS WERE USED THEY LOCKED IN A RETRACTED POSITION AND CAN NOT BE USED AGAIN. BECAUSE OF THE DESIGNED BELT TRACKING GUIDES THE BELTS FOLD WHEN ENTERING THE SPINDLE CAUSING A JAMMING AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE BELTS CAN NOT BE USED. RELEASING THE MECHANISM IS VERY DIFFICULT AND CAN NOT BE DONE ON THE ROAD. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IN A CONVERTIBLE WHEN PEOPLE ARE ON A TRIP AND CAN NOT USE THE BELTS. THIS PROBLEM KEEPS RECURRING. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR WAS OVERHEATING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO PAY $49.95 PLUS TAX AND LABOR FOR A COMPRESSION TEST. UPON COMPLETION OF THE TEST, I WAS TOLD THE RADIATOR JUST NEEDED FLUSHING. I WAS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR OVERHEATING. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THE COOLANT NEEDED TO BE TOPPED OFF. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN NEEDED IF FLUSHING WAS ALL THAT WAS NEEDED THE FIRST TIME AND IF IT WAS FILLED WHEN THE FLUSHING WAS FINISHED. EVEN AFTER TOPPING OFF THE COOLANT IT WAS STILL RUNNING HOT, BUT SUDDENY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER COMING ON. THE PROBLEMS STARTED SOMEWHERE ALONG 85,000 MILES TO 95,000 MILES. I AM NOT REALLY SURE OF THE MILEAGE BECAUSE SUDDENLY CAN NOT FIND MY SERVICE REPORTS AND THE MECHANICS COMMENTS THAT GO ALONG WITH IT. AT 101,000 MILES I WAS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR OVERHEATING. STILL, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON , THOUGH THE TEMPERATURE GUAGE GOES ALL THE WAY TO HOT. SUDDENLY MY CAR NEEDS $1700 WORTH OF WORK. THE MAIN CAUSE OF DAMAGED IS A LEAKY HEAD GASKET. THROUGH DOING RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OF THE HEAD GASKET. PROBLEM IS, THE RECALL IS NO LONGER GOOD AFTER 100,000 MILES. I FIND IT A LITTLE TOO COINCIDENTAL THAT I HAVE HAD THESE PROBLEMS FOR QUITE SOME TIME, BUT NOTHING MAJOR WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR UNTIL AFTER THE RECALL WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED.*AK
