DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THE ABS PUMP HAD NOT OUTPUT. THERE WAS A RECALL # 96V260000 PERTAINING TO THE ABS PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER DETERMINED THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE CONTACT DID NOT BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER STATEMENT WAS CORRECT. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 1995 AND THE LETTER WAS NEVER RECEIVED BY THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE MECHANIC SHOP BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO OPERATE.

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BROKE - ONLY 1/2 THE SIDE IS NOW ATTACHED, HAPPENED WHILE I WAS GETTING OUT OF VEHICLE. HAD I BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, I'M SURE I WOULDN'T BE HERE NOW. DEALER WANTS $900 TO FIX. ACCORDING TO AUTO-PARTS STORE, IT'S COMMON FOR THE SEATS TO BREAK! IF THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS! ONE EXPECTS TO HAVE TO REPLACE CERTAIN PARTS ON A USED VEHICLE, BUT NOT A SEAT! THE PART THAT ANCHORS THE SEAT IN PLACE EITHER HAS A DESIGN FLAW, OR THE PARTS ARE STRESSED AND BREAK. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED TO OTHERS. *AK
