| The driver seat on this car has come off the rails on right side causing it to tilt. if the seat is not moved to the lowest setting the tilts with the movement of the car. i had the seat repaired once; it failed again after about 6 months. at the same time i had the emergency brake repaired. when setting the brake, i heard a loud bang. the repair failed about 2 months ago for the second time. i am also going through new brakes on this car at an alarming rate - three brake replacements already and the car has 90,000 miles. the car is again beginning to shimmy/shudder when going down steep hills and the brakes are applied. the car seems not to slow down at all (i.e. shifting gears) when going down hill other than by the brakes - it feels like a free fall. the signals, headlights, taillights and brake lights also need frequent replacement. i typically have to replace at least one of these at each oil change and have on several occasions needed to make replacements between oil changes. i would estimate the headlights/blinkers have been replaced at least a dozen times. the rear lights have been replaced perhaps ten times. currently the third brake light is out and cannot be repaired without taking off the interior cover of the car to access the wiring - the bulb is not the problem. *tr | |||
