ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
A MAJOR SAFETY-CONCERN IS THE POOR ACCESSIBILITY OF THE HORN ON THE STEERING WHEEL. MY INABILITY TO QUICKLY-ACCESS THE HORN HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT SEVERAL SMALL ANIMALS AND HAS PREVENTED ME FROM EARLY-SIGNALING OTHER DRIVERS IN POTENTIALLY-DANGEROUS. *AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR IS IMPROPERLY WELDED TO THE VEHICLE AND IS TOTALLY OUT OF ALIGNMENT. BOTH THE DEALER AND THE FACTORY HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNREPAIRABLE AND POTENTIALLY UNSAFE. THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE PASSED QUALITY CONTROL AT EITHER THE FACTORY AND/OR THE DEALERSHIP. SATURN AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE CURRENTLY NEGOTIATING TO REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE.
