A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
While driving the roof disconnected from vehicle, lost control, resulting in a crash/injuries. Vehicle was totaled.
Crack in rear axle caused axle to disconnect/fall off while driving, driver lost control, vehicle rocked back/forth, counter flipped over, landed on top, vehicle totaled. Please provide VIN.
While driving experienced failure of both brake line hoses due to excessive wear, upon braking pedal went to floor then continued to roll forward,no warning.
The vehicle's engine cradle had cracked. The problem caused the engine to shake and not be supported while driving. Please provide additional information.
The recall to fix the cradle bolts which have rusted and broken on my 1991 pontiac trans sport should have included vehicles registered in minnesota, because we have more salt used on our roads than some of the states included in the recall.
