| When brakes are applied, they're occasionally hard. front end will dip, car slowly slows down, won't come to a stop soon enough. i had barely started to accelerate at a light when the vehicle in front of me stopped suddenly, i applied the brakes, they were hard, brakes wouldn't engage. causing me to rear ended the vehicle in front of me. i was only going about 5 mph. (spark plug wires) about every 12,000 miles we have to replace the spark plug wires due to the 2nd cylinder wire being burnt from the engine. a simple guard could fix this problem! if not, a fire could result! (seats/seat belts) the seats will lean back slightly & unexpectedly, could cause a serious injury or even death if involved in an accident! the seat belts don't seem to stay tight around the waist. the seat belt sits too high off the lap. if in an accident, i was afraid i would slide under the belt because it's so loose! i wouldn't want that to happen to me, my spouse or any of my children. head lights) these lights are pathetic! the head lights will go out without any warning, sometimes won't come on at all making it impossible to go anywhere! they are very dim & the high beams are about worthless because the beam is too much to the sides or up too high. visibility isn't very far and it's too scary to drive at night due to the dim lights. *ak | |||

| The driver's seat will recline unexpectedly (approximately 20-25 degrees). this will especially occur if you lean back into the seat (such as under hard acceleration). the seat must remain in the semi-recumbent position to avoid movement. the whole seat, i am told needs to be replaced. *jb | |||
