What 1992 Plymouth Colt Vista owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Motorbelt failed. Mjs
There is smoke coming from the vehicle due to oil leaking from blown engine gasket. Dealer has not seen.
Seat belt track cable broken
Brakes squeal/grab/ pull, and car shimmies. Also, transmission has a bad smell. It grinds and doesn't shift properly. Will not hold on a hill when putting vehicle in reverse. Consumer has contacted dealer and manufacturer
Recall notice indicated replacement of entire seatbelt system on 2-door model (including rails and belt retraction systems), but only the motor for three-door models. Since there is a known problem with the seatbelt systems in these cars, I feel the manufacturer should replace the entire seatbelt system in my vehicle.
