What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Consumer was traveling 65mph on highway and driver's side seat broke and seat went all way back. The dealership is aware of the problem.
The brake lines are corroded and the line ruptured on the drivers side right beside the frame rail. I have never seen a brake line rupture before and was kind of puzzled then found this site online and I was surprised to see so many like complaints of the same issue.
Driver's side seat washers and bolts broke off. As a result, the front corner of the seat was not attached to the frame. Recall 96v055010 was issued, however this vehicle was not included in the recall. The seat leaned when the driver sat in it.
The windshield wipers failed prior to recall notice 98v-150, the consumer requests reimbursement. Nlm consumer is being denied reimbursement.
While driving and without warning, vehicle completely shuts down. Vehicle brought in for repairs: oil pressure safety switch, pump drive module and intake manifold had to be repaired, and the injector pump had to be replaced
Driver's side seat broke. The bracket that holds the bucket seat down broke.
