NAR 04/21/2003 MR THE CONSUMERS AUTOMOBILE WAS IN A SERIES BLOCK OF VEHICLES BUILD AND SOLD WITH A DEFECTIVE CHIP. AFTER HAVING SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE SUCH AS; THE SEAT BELT ADJUSTERS BROKEN, THE CLOCK RADIO AUDIO SYSTEM INOPERATIVE, THE BRAKES HAVING BEEN REPLACED, FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION INTERLOCKING WHICH CAUSES A CLICKING NOISE. AND TO DATE THE CONSUMER HAS ONLY RECEIVED ONE RECALL (R935) NOTICE.
