Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

WHILE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, ENTIRE DASH CLUSTER ZEROS AND ALARMS GO OFF. ALL INSTRUMENTS THEN COME BACK ON EXCEPT ALARM STAYS ON . CAN ONLY SILENCE ALARM BY UNLATCHING SEAT BELT AND RE-LATCHING IT. THIS IS DANGEROUS ; ACTION MUST BE DONE WHILE VEHICLE IS ROLLING GENERALLY AT SPEED LIMIT. CANNOT HAVE HANDS ON STEERING WHEEL AND DISCONNECT SEAT BELT AND RECONNECT IT. REPORTED PROBLEM TO MANUFACTURER MONTHS AGO THEY SAY THEY ARE WORKING ON IT. ALSO ON SAME VEHICLE, CONSTANT STEERING IS REQUIRED. STEERING IS LOOSE WHILE ROLLING DOWN ROAD. MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED CERTAIN TIRE PRESSURES AND ALIGNMENT CHECK WHEN VEHICLE IS LOADED. I HAVE DONE THIS AND PROBLEM IS THE SAME. I HAVE CHECKED FORUMS BY OTHER OWNERS AND MANY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER. *TR
