| Mr. did evasive manuevers at 65 mph to avoid deadly collision with fully loaded senior citizen van by a driver with a cell phone. steering wheel was very loose, brakes pedals were very easily depressed, none of the front air-bags deployed and car seats did not lock. mr. hit median concrete at 60 mph. ambulance and emergency room dictated, you all very lucky to have survived. 3rd party administrator(esis) counter claims mr.. that because mr. collided with median sideways the air-bags did not deploy. mr. argues that front driver portion of car hit median first, air bags should have deployed and seat belts should have locked. 3rd party administrator counters. because there is no proof we cannot claim such fact. she (3rd party) is insisting on us to sign medical release forms and submit pictures of car. mr. has advised that car is repaired and has been sold. confusion arises when dealer agrees that car has sensors and collision shop did not indicate any sensors. mr. is confused whether stabili-trak or some other systems should be in place to have prevented the collision with median and under the tire sensors should have been in place. if any system (stabili-trak or other) were in place, the whole accident could have been prevented. esis-claim #660283. *tr | |||

| First leak was the xm antenna. water came in through roof center console lights. second leak was from the sunroof water entered the cabin through the same place. dealer repaired sunroof drain tube. third leak was the sunroof drain tube. dealer repaired the other sunroof drain tube. the water enter the cabin and ran on the passenger seat belt. this happened in the winter and the seat belt froze solid in the retraction reel. at the same time the water also damaged the airbag sensors in the passenger seat and caused the an airbag failure. the forth leak soaked both seat belts. this time the dealership extended the sunroof drain tubes per a service bulletin. now there are intermittent electrical problems with the car. the heads lights would not turn on until the car was turned off then restarted. the turn signals, instrument cluster lights, and heater control lights stopped working intermittently. of course they worked fine while the dealership had the car. *tr | |||

| I bought this car on 4/12/2006. the electrical system has a problem so when the passenger rolls down the power window the driver can not put it back up. on 6/29/2006 i took it in for this and they put grease on my windows and they replaced the drivers side window switch. it worked for 2 days and then it stopped working again only this time the passenger seat belt warning stopped working as well, so on 7/8/2006 i took it back and they replaced the drivers side window switch again and repaired the wires to the warning for seat belt. now here we are it is 7/17 and it quit again on friday the 7/14/2006 so i called and this time they told me they are keeping it indefinitely and the lady who made my appt. said i should consider renting a car. i argued that for as much money as i spent on this car i should not have to, so they agreed to pay the rental. my concern is this; things keep happening with the electrical system what if it causes a fire or worse an accident with me and my 3 kids in it. *jb | |||
