SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
SEAT BELTS. THE SEATBELT LATCH MECHANISM ON THIS VEHICLE CONSIST OF A METAL MECHANISM SURROUNDED BY A PLASTIC COVER. THE PLASTIC COVER IS POOR FITTING, ALLOWING THE SEATBELT PART TO BE INSERTED BETWEEN THE PLASTIC COVER AND THE MECHANISM, THEREBY NOT BEING FASTENED AT ALL, AND SOMETIMES WITHOUT REALIZING IT UNTIL IT COMES APART AS YOU DRIVE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WHICH REQUIRES VERY CAREFUL INSERTION OF SEAT BELT PART INTO MECHANISM, SOMETIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO SECURE THE SEAT BELT.

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE DESIGN OF THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR MOTOR ASSEMBLY APPEARS TO BE FLAWED. THERE IS A SMALL PLASTIC "CLIP" THAT IS HEAT MELTED TO THE NYLON MOVEMENT ASSEMBLY DURING MANUFACTURING. THIS CLIP RECEIVES A GREAT DEAL OF STRESS DURING WINDOW OPERATION AND IS DOOMED TO FAIL FROM THE BEGINNING. WHEN THE CLIP FAILS, THE WINDOW WILL "UNEXPECTANTLY" DROP INTO THE DOOR OFTEN RESULTING IN BROKEN OR DAMAGED GLASS. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT IF A DRIVER IS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS FAILURE.*AK
