SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT MAY NOT RETRACT IMMEDIATELY WHEN YOU EXIT THE CAR. IF IT DOESN'T, IT WILL RETRACT, BUT WILL GET CAUGHT ON THE POWER SEAT CONTROLS. WHEN IT RETRACTS, IT PULLS THE SEAT RECLINE LEVER AND CAUSES THE SEAT BACK TO RECLINE UNTIL IT CANNOT DO SO BECAUSE IT IS STOPPED BY THE REAR SEAT. ONE TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS OUT OF THE CAR FOR FIVE MINUTES AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN, I COULD SMELL THE POWER SEAT MOTOR BURNING - THE SEAT BELT WAS FORCING THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO RECLINE. IF ONE OF MY KIDS WERE IN THE BACK SEAT, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN PINNED AND COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE (EXCEPT FOR SOME TYPE OF GUARD OVER THE POWER SEAT CONTROLS). I THINK THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW - NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. ITS A GREAT CAR OTHER THAN THIS STRANGE PROBLEM. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
VEHICLE LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING; PANEL LIGHTS BLINK WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ONE TIME, IT WOULD NOT START UNTIL THE 5TH OR 6TH TURN OF THE KEY. I COULD NOT EVEN CHANGE GEARS. THE ANTI- THEFT LIGHT HAS BLINKED ON OCCASION WHILE IN MOTION AS WELL. ALSO, IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER IN 11/1999 FOR REPAIR. THEY KEPT IT FOR 2 DAYS AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. A WEEK AND A HALF LATER, IT LOST POWER WHEN TRYING TO MOVE AT A GREEN LIGHT. THE DEALER EVEN CHARGED ME $15 FOR A RENTAL CAR EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS LEASED IN AUGUST 1999 AND IS UNDER WARRANTY. *AK
