WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THE BOLTS ON MY REAR BRAKE PAD BROKE IN HALF AND THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO MOVE FORWARD, HAD TO DRIVE MY CAR BACKWARDS HOME LUCKILY I WAS ONLY A BLOCK AWAY FROM HOME. THE 2 FRONT WINDOWS WILL NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN, KEEP HAVING TO REPLACE THE HOSE THAT LEADS TO MY RADIATOR, WHEN I MAKE RIGHT TURNS THE CAR VIBRATES, TWO FRONT SEAT BELTS HAVE STOP LOCKING ALL TOGETHER AND THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY SORT OF CRASH OR ACCIDENT, FRONT DASH IS STARTING TO LIFT CONSIDERABLY. I ADORE MY VEHICLE AND I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING RID OF IT, BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH ON THIS CAR. *TR

SAFETY BELT ON DRIVER SIDE SOMETIMES FAILS TO LATCH BECAUSE THE LATCH MECHANISM FAILS TO RETURN TO ITS PROPER LOCATION INSIDE THE LATCH HOUSING. I HAVE TO PRESS AND HOLD THE LATCH AND THEN USE A BUTTER KNIFE TO POP THE LATCH BACK OUT SO THAT IT WILL LATCH PROPERLY. THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR POWER WINDOW JUST STARTED SLIDING DOWN THE TRACK ONE DAY AND NOW WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN USING THE SWITCH. I'VE HAD TO SLIDE IT UP INTO PLACE AND THE TAPE IT SHUT WITH PACKAGE SEALING TAPE. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW SOMETIMES FAILS TO GO UP OR DOWN WHEN I PRESS THE WINDOW DOWN BUTTON. THEN LATER IT WILL RESPOND APPROPRIATELY. JOHNSON MOTORS REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDOW MOTOR LAST YEAR WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE IT SERVICED AND HAVE SOME SCRATCHES BUFFED OUT THAT HAD BEEN THERE WHEN I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE WINDOWS ARE A VERY REAL PROBLEM BUT THE SEAT BELT LATCH FAILURE IS A REAL LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION.*AK
