Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION SHIFT 1ST TO 2ND GEAR IS HARD, ALL OTHER SHIFTS ARE FINE. SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION "CHOKES" AND YOU GET A HARD BANG IN THE DRIVETRAIN. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S SEAT DOESN'T LOCK PROPERLY, SOMETIMES I HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES REALLY HARD IN ORDER TO GET THE SEAT FRONT-TO-REAR ADJUSTER TO LOCK OR "CLICK" INTO PLACE. THE SEAT ALSO SQUEAKS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, AND I WEIGH ONLY 175 LBS. CAR HAS ABOUT 3000 MILES TODAY, AND THE SALES DEALER WILL NOT SCHEDULE ME FOR AN APPOINTMENT ON MY ONLY DAY OFF FROM WORK (SATURDAY) SO I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO TAKE A PERSONAL DAY OFF DURING THE WEEK BECAUSE APPARENTLY AN OIL CHANGE IS MORE IMPORTANT. *KB
