IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER, BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. *AK

POWER TRAIN
SPEEDOMETER IS NOT ACCURATE. IT APPEARS TO BE FROM 7 TO 10 MPH OFF FROM SURROUNDING TRAFFIC. DEALER CLAIMS IT IS WITHIN THE 10% ALLOWABLE DIFFERENCE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THEY TELL US WHEN IT READS 65 WE ARE ACTUALLING GOING 60. THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED ANY DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT THE INACCURACY. *AK

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

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON JAN 5, 2000, AT APPROXIMATELY 10:30 AM I BACKED MY CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE AND APPLIED THE BRAKES BEFORE ENTERING THE STREET. APPLYING THE BRAKES CAUSED THE UNCONTROLLABLE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR, CAUSING IT TO CROSS THE STREET/SIDESWIPE A NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE/ RUN OVER ANOTHER NEIGHBOR'S FENCE, AND KNOCK DOWN A STREET SIGN. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK, BUT ANY AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON THE BREAKS FAILED TO SLOW THE CAR. ALL OF THIS OCCURRED IN A MATTER OF SECONDS BEFORE FINALLY COMING TO REST IN THE CENTER OF THE STREET. DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND A NEIGHBRO'S HOUSE WAS EXTENSIVE. *AK
