| The paint is chipping on my hood. it started in 1995. i have been told by dealerships that their was a recall on paint. i was not notified by gm, and when i last attempted to contact them the srvc rep said they remembered a recall but couldn't find it now. also, every winter since i bought the car the horn gows off in the middle of the night when it gets below freezing. my power door locks keep going out. are they related to the horn? since i purchased the car, the front passenger seat locks in upright position but does not slide back into place if the lever is usde on the back of the seat. is there a tsb? i found a tsb on your web-site for the horn and possibly for the door locks. what do i do?*ak | |||

| Multiple problems encountered: (1) cigarette lighter fuse blows constantly. (2) engine has a cracked cylinder which allows coolant into the oil system. (3) starter coil failed. (4) window motor/switch failed. (5) front passenger seat doesn't always lock in place, and allows the seat to slide forward and backward.

(8) alternator failed at 90,000 miles. (9) oil pressure sensor failed at 107,000 miles. (10) spark plugs need to be replaced every 18 months due to a recurring stumbling problem in the engine. one spark plug cannot be removed.
