PARKING BRAKE
THE VEHICLE FAILED STATE INSPECTION DUE TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BEING INOPERATIVE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED A MANUFACTURER'S DESIGN FLAW WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE DESIGN OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PLACED IT IN CONTACT WITH THE ROTORS WHICH CAUSED PREMATURE WEAR. *JB

SEATS
THE FRONT LEFT CORNER OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT BASE FAILED AT THE POINT WHERE THE SEAT BASE ATTACHES TO THE SLIDER. AS THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, I AM UNSURE OF THE HISTORY. REGARDLESS, HAVING THE DRIVER'S SEAT SO POORLY ATTACHED IS SURELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS SERIOUS ATTENTION. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS AND I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH THE APPARENT LACK OF ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST COMPLAIN OF THE SAME FAILURE OF A SAFETY DEVICE BEFORE THE MANUFACTURER IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DEFECT. WE CANNOT ALL BE MAKING THIS UP. IT'S NOT LIKE THE ELECTRIC WINDOW OR RADIO QUIT WORKING. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET KILLED?! *JB

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE PUMP CUTS OFF AT 3/4 FULL. WHEN I TRY TO FILL IT ALL THE WAY, IT OVER FLOWS ONTO THE GROUND AFTER THE PUMP CUTS OFF AGAIN.

STRUCTURE
REAR CARGO WINDOW ON PASSENGER SIDE (NOT BACK DOOR GLASS) LEAKS WATER INTO THE "BULKHEAD" AREA. AS WATER BUILDS UP IT EVENTUALLY SPLASES OVER INTO THE CARGO AREA INSIDE THE VEHICLE THEREBY FLOODING THE CARPET, ETC. THIS OCCURS WHENEVER THERE IS RAIN OF ANY SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT AND IS ONGOING CONTIUOUSLY. SEVERAL AREA SUBURBAN OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM ANDS NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE A SOLUTION.*JB
