Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 1999 record →
IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS HORN IS VERY HARD TO PRESS BECAUSE OF ITS LOCATION WHICH CAUSES THE HORN TO BE INOPERATIVE. ALSO, THERE IS A REFLECTION ON THE DASHBOARD WHICH IMPAIRS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL VIEW TO THE DRIVER. WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUNLIGHT THE VISION IMPAIRMENT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *AK
I CUT MY FINGER ON THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY, WHILE PLACING A PIECE OF LUGGAGE IN THE TRUNK. LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS RAZOR SHARP ALL ALONG EDGE. VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE MODIFIED.
THE FUEL LINE WAS NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED TO THE FUEL TANK. THIS CAUSED A FUEL LEAK WHILE DRIVING. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE IF THERE WAS A SOURCE OF IGNITION. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK
DRIVER SIDE SEAT WILL NOT BE PROPERLY LOCK. THE TRACK DOES NOT LOCK. PLEASE ADD VIN. *AK
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATION DOES NOT MAINTAIN SPEEDS GOING UP OR DOWN HILL.
WINDOWS FOG EASILY RESULTING IN LACK OF VISIBILITY; LITTLE SIDE WINDOW AIRFLOW, ALTHOUGH FRONT WINDSHIELD GETS A LOT; EVEN WITH 1 ADULT IN CAR, OFTEN ALL SIDE WINDOWS FOG; REAR SIDE WINDOWS ARE WORST; TRIED ALL HVAC MODES TO NO AVAIL.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
