Transmission goes into limp mode in second gear .driver window off track back window works when it get ready andengine light comes when it get ready seat belt retracts sometime I believe my car is falling apart.
All seat belt buckle release buttons intermittently stick, requiring excessive force to unbuckle. Also, passenger rear belt occasionally will not pull from retractor.
The front seat belts would not lock.
While driving and object fell from the dash and hit the seat belt release button. As a result the seat belt released.
We have had our seat belts that hold our child seats in place pop loose several times. I have checked and rechecked that the seat belts are latched properly but on occasion they pop loose for no reason at all. We are very worried that the seat belts may not work if we were in an accident.
From what they say, my timing belt came off and took out the engine. I also had problems with the power locks going out at the same time, the steering was starting to go out and the cam sensor went out.
Consumer states there a recall 01 v 119 000, for the seatbelt. Consumer states parts are never available to complete recall repairs. Please provide any further information.
The seat belt buckle issue we mentioned to the dealership when we had the car in to repair the output speed sensor. Even though we discovered there is a recall on seat belts for the very problem we have had with the seat buckles coming loose that hold our child seats in, the dealership told us that they would not repair ours. The output speed sensor issue almost caused an accident as it instantly downshifted the car to 2nd gear. It caused a terrible jolt to us and we were almost rear ended...taillights didn't flash to warn other cars. Air conditioner issue, well, that just never worked properly. The temperature selector often doesn't change the temperature. Cold comes out luke warm.
