SEAT BELTS
WE WHERE DRIVING BACK FROM A FAMILY FUNCTION AND WHEN WE GOT HOME, THE SEATBELT WOULD NOT RETRACT BACK IN. WE HAD BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE SEATBELTS LOCKING FOR AWHILE BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE BELT DID NOT RETRACT. I CALL THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $800.00 SO I DID NOT GET IT FIXED BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD IT. THE SECOND SEATBELT WENT OUT WHILE WE WERE DRIVING AT ABOUT 65MPH AND WERE AT ABOUT 100,000 MILES. THE SEATBELT LOCKED SO WE REMOVED IT TO RESET IT AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THEN IT STOPPED WORKING. THE THIRD REAR BELT WAS A HARD TIME RETRACTING AS WELL. THE DEALER TESTED IT AND IT ALSO FAILED THEIR TESTS. THE DEALER NOW SAYS THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS NOT MECHANICAL FAILURE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MILEAGE. THIS HAS BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PUT A DIME INTO THIS REPAIR.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON JULY 3, 2015 WHEN AT FIRST MY CAR WOULDN'T START, I ASKED SOMEONE TO LOOK AT MY CAR AND IT WAS NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WAS VERY LOW JUST TO THE POINT OF EMPTY. I WAS VERY CONCERN BECAUSE AT NO POINT PRIOR TO THIS DISCOVERY, THE "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT DID NOT FLASH OR APPEAR ON TO INFORM ME TO THIS ISSUE! I CALLED AUTO DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ROUTINE OIL/MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND REQUESTED THAT THIS MATTER BE RESEARCHED AS TO WHY NO "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT WORKED; TO ALSO FLUSH THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO CHECK FOR AIR IN THE HOSE ETC...; HOWEVER VERY DISAPPOINTMENT WITH AUTO SERVICE REPLY: I WAS BASICALLY TOLD THAT THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WAS NOT LOW ENOUGH FOR THE "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT TO ACTIVATED; HOWEVER WHEN THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED; THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY NOISY AND ONCE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL FILLED, THE NOISE STOPPED. I BELIEVE THAT DUE TO THE "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT NOT BEING ACTIVATED WAS A GREAT SAFETY RISK TO MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
1. WHILE DRIVING WITH AC ON WATER WAS LEAKING DOWN INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE CARPET. DEALER CHECKED AND FOUND THAT THE A/C DRAIN HOSE WAS CLOGGED. THIS HAPPENED ON JULY 10TH. 2013. DEALER DID NOT CHARGE FOR CLEANING CLOGGED DRAIN. 2. ON JULY 8TH 2015, THE SAME CONDITION OCCURRED AND TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER. DEALER DIAGNOSED A/C DRAIN CLOGGED AND CAUSED WATER TO BACK UP INTO THE OXYGEN SENSOR CAUSING THE "CHECK ENGINE " AND "TRAC OFF" LIGHTS TO COME ON. DEALER NOW CHARGED $252.59 AND STATED THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME AND IT IS AFFECTING THE ENGINE. I NEED TO HAVE THIS SITUATION FIXED BEFORE IT OCCURRS AGAIN AND CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH TO OCCUPANT.
