| Dt*: the contact stated the bolt that held the rear left seat belt to the frame of the vehicle detached from the frame, rendering the seat belt useless. 5 months prior to this incident, the same situation occurred with the rear right seat belt. the vehicle was taken to a service dealer, where the dealer determined that both seat belt assemblies needed to be replaced entirely. there were no immediate repairs made. the manufacturer was also notified, who offered a rebate of 100 dollars toward the repair of the assemblies. updated 12/15/2006 - *nm | |||

| Since purchasing my six month old car in 2003 i have had numerous problems. i've had a seat belt buckle replaced, i've had my right front wheel bearing replaced, i've had them looking the back end of my car for a vibration that wont go away when ever i turn the air or heater on, which they say they can't find and don't hear. my rear windshield leaks badly. and today only two and a half years after i got my car, my brakes failed me twice, the second time having me dive in to a curb totally damaging my tire and the steering in my car, and the air bags never went off. going to file with insurance and take to repair shop. *jb | |||
