Related recalls

Seat belts: front: webbingReported May 24, 1994 · 5,294 vehicles affected

What is wrong: The second row, right hand shoulder belt can become "pinched" between the seat and the door frame pillar trim. The shoulder belt may not retract properly, which does not comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 208, "occupant crash protection." the 1994 vehicles have an optional integral (built in) childseat installed next to the power sliding side door. The 1993 involved vehicles have standard seats in that same position.
Risk: Improper shoulder belt retraction does not provide adequate protection to the seat occupant in the event of a sudden stop or collision.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the door frame pillar trim panel with a redesigned trim panel. Also, a caution label will be applied to the child seat advising the owner not to install the seat to the passenger side of a vehicle with a power sliding side door.

Remedy: Dealers will remove third row safety belt retractors and reinstall them properly.

Both door handles have broken, know of others with same style of handle mechanism that have failed same way, looks like defect of design, no recalls or tsb's found, broke within three weeks of one another; seatbelts are slow to retract if at all, resulted in slack getting caught in door jam, so consequently when pulled it broke and now will no longer retract; it is very frustrating and we paid good money for a good vehicle so we didn't expect this stuff to be happening.
