What owners wrote
Our braking system on this car failed us, and is probably crushed by now at no fault of my own. My safety was at–risk when the brakes lost pressure and if it wasn’t for our seatbelts, I could’ve been thrown through the windshield. I hereby declare that [XXX] deliberately caused our accident and lied about being blinded. [XXX] lost her son—[XXX]—and was jealous of my opportunity to do what he couldn’t. Her other son—[XXX]—choose not to attend college and contraband drugs among other things.
Had an issue under original manufacturer's warranty of windows being scratched by defect in the door. They accepted responsibility for the defect and replaced glass at no charge. They said that the problem that caused the scratches was resolved. On 8-23-02 the issue reoccured and was to be fixed. The dealership at that time did not have the necessary parts to fix the problem. On 12-4-02 there was an appointment made to fix the problem and replace the windows, but the "ice storm of the century" hit north carolina.
