Car leased in 1999. Since then there have been several complaints, the radio shorting out, 2 same side/tire blow outs, trouble lights and transmission problems, brake noise and acceleration problems.

When the consumer purchased the vehicle there was no radio.

The door locks installed allow the driver to hit a switch on driver's door to lock passengers, or to push in the lock, which will lock both driver and passenger's door. Upon entering the vehicle I have pushed both the switch and lock, neither of which would lock the passenger's side. I repeat this up to 10 times before the passenger side will lock. Not too safe!! 2nd complaint---stereo will be on and the driver's side speakers will shut off for a few seconds and you will only hear passenger's side. Then they will come back on. This happened every 10-15 minutes for about 3 monthes but has not happened in a while.

Passenger's seat will not lock in place unless seat is positioned all way to the back closely to rear seat . Consumer states the seat if unlocked and moved foward will only relock when pushed all the way to the rear, then seat can be adjusted and locked from any position, the problem is that you can not lock the seat if anything is placed behind the seat, in trying to lock the seat consumer states she has the crush her grandchild's feet in the car seat, consumer states there is a strong to light gasoline odor, also gas pedal will stick in up position and need strong push to release, door locks automaticcalylock and unlock at any time, the locks were finally replaced and consumer was given an extended warranty, consumer states radio goes out and the display disappears when it is hot.
