(1) AIR CONDITIONING DURING THE SECOND SUMMER THE CAR WAS OWNED THE AIR CONDITIONING WOULDN'T WORK, JUST BLEW OUT WARM AIR. AN INSPECTION OF THE A/C LINES UNDER THE CAR REVEALED EXTENSIVE CORROSTION OF THE FITTINGS. IT WOULD BE PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE ALL AFFECTED FITTINGS SO WE HAVE BEEN GOING WITHOUT A/C. BELIEVE THE A/C PLUMBING SHOULD HAVE LASTED THE LIFE OF THE CAR (DEFINITELY SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 2 YEARS). (2) SEAT METAL FRACTURING. METAL USED IN THE BODY HAS BECOME BRITTLE AND FRACTURED. OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY HAVE SHOWN SIMILAR BRITTLE FRACTURES (SLIDING DOOR HANDLE). I'M AFRAID THAT IF THE FRAME HAS SIMILAR BRITTLENESS, THIS COULD LEAD TO A DANGEROUS FAILURE. IT IS PARTICULARLY TROUBLING AS THE CAR GETS OLDER.
