VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
A FEW DAYS AGO I DISCOVERED A CRACK (15" LONG) IN MY WINDSHIELD. THERE ARE NO MARKS FROM ANYTHING HITTING IT. AND NOTHING HAS HIT THE WINDSHIELD WHILE OPERATING. SINCE THIS IS IS A CONVERTIBLE, I AM WONDERING IF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE VEHICLE FLEXING. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE IS "LOOSER" THAN ANY NONE-CONVERTIBLES I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT, I CAN HEAR THE WINDOW/DOOR SEALS SQUIKING FROM THE FLEXING. HAS ANY RECALL BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS?*AK

UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE, THE CONSUMER NOTICED THERE WAS NO TENSION IN THE BRAKE. CONSUMER THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER TO HAVE REPAIRED. THE CONSUMER INFORMED THE DEALER THAT THE E-BRAKE COULD POSSIBLY BE FAULTY AND TO HAVE DEALER CHECK FOR PROBLEMS. UPON RETURN OF VEHICLE, CONSUMER ASKED DEALER IF THEY HAD FOUND ANY PROBLEMS, THE DEALER REPLIED WITH NO PROBLEMS FOUND. THE CONSUMER NOTICED UPON ARRIVAL AT CONSUMER'S HOME, THAT WHEN THE E-BRAKE WAS SET, THERE WAS A CONSIDERABLE DIFFERANCE IN THE TENSION WHEN THE BRAKE WAS SET. NOTE : CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE HAD GIVEN OUT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, BUT DID NOT REPORT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE CONSUMER ASSUMED IT WAS DUE TO OPERATOR ERROR. CONSUMER ALSO BELIEVES THAT DEALER FIXED PROBLEM WITHOUT INFORMING CONSUMER TO RID FAULT OF ANY KIND ON PART OF MANUFACTUER.

PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL
HAND APPLIED PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT FULLY ENGAGE AND AT TIME DOES NOT ENGAGE AT ALL AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. ON 11/11/99 WHILE PARKED ON A MILD GRADE I EXITED THE VEHICLE WITH THE PARKING BRAKE APPARENTLY ENGAGED BUT WITH THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF GEAR. RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE 10 MINUTES LATER I FOUND THAT IT HAD ROLLED BACK ABOUT 100 FEET, JUMPED A CURB AND COME TO REST AGAINST A HEAVY RUBBER TRASH CAN. THE HAND BRAKE WAS STILL IN THE FULLY ENGAGED POSITION. AS A RESULT OF THE COLLISION WITH A TRASH CAN THE REAR FACIA IS BENT. *AK
