DESIGN OF VEHICLE RESULTED IN THERE BEING NO SPLASH GUARD TO PROTECT THE STEERING BELT FROM ROAD SPRAY RESULTING IN TEMPORARY LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHEN BELT SLIPS OFF.

TRANMISSION WILL NOT HOLD AT IDLE. WHEN STOPPED ON A GRADE, YOU MUST USE BOTH FEET - ONE ON THE BRAKE, TO KEEP FROM ROLLING BACKWARD, AND ONE ON THE ACCELERATOR. DEALER/MANUFACTURER CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL, AND THAT IT ISN'T DESIGNED TO LOCK UP UNTIL 2200 RPM. I'VE NEVER DRIVEN AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLE IN MY LIFE THAT ACTED LIKE THIS.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AROUND THE CORNER AND PARKED THE VEHICLE, THE CONSUMER PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE, AND LOOKED AROUND AND SAW THE VEHICLE ROLLING DOWN THE STREET. THE VEHICLE HIT A CURB AND STOPPED. CONTACTED THE DEALER, REFUSED TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. *AK
