| While vehicle was parked consumer opened the back lid and immediately noticed smoke coming from the seat. upon closer inspection, consumer noticed a burn hole forming on the seat, consumer then placed a piece of paper adjacent to the burn hole and fully reopened back lid, almost immediately the paper started to burn due to the sunlight hitting it through the back lid glass. the glass behaved similar to a magnifying glass, which caused the seat and paper to burn. ts *jb | |||

| (1) windshield mounted rear-view mirror shakes/vibrates badly at idle and on highway, especially with convertible top down, making following vehicles appear blurry. dealer replaced mirror once, second dealer retightened to windshield, but problem remains. (2) drive belts make growling sound at idle, a/c on, when shifting between park & reverse, or between reverse & drive. belt & tensioner replaced per existing service advisory, but problem still occurs. (3) rear mounted cd changer does not function if vehicle is started soon after inserting cd cartridge; err displayed on radio. once err is displayed, must remove and reinsert cd cartridge to make work again (restarting vehicle or turning radio off/on doesn't help). voltage at cd changer drops down to about 10v when starting vehicle. dealers clueless. (4) electric fuel pump behind driver seat makes annoying buzzing sound when vehicle stopped, at idle, esp. noticeable with windows up. dealer says noise is normal and existing service advisories only apply to '97 & '98 vehicles. | |||
