THIS WAS NOT ONLY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR EACH TIME, BUT CREATED AN UNSAFE DRIVING ENVIRONMENT EXPOSING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS TO THE ELEMENTS! A REPRESENTATIVE AT THE DEALER IN NASHVILLE SAID THE COMPANY KNEW THIS WAS COMMON BUT NEVER WAS HELD TO A RECALL. OVER $1,200 FOR REPAIRS OVER THE YEARS BECAUSE OF SOME CHEAP CHINESE-MADE PLASTIC PARTS! HOW DO I KNOW THAT THE REPLACEMENTS WILL HOLD UP? HAVING JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS SITE, I CAN'T BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RECEIPTS, BUT I NEEDED EMERGENCY REPAIRS WHILE TRAVELING BETWEEN NJ AND TN. THE FIRST EVENT WAS ABOUT 12 YEARS AGO (THE DATE BELOW IS AN ESTIMATE FOR THE FIRST ONE OF THE INCIDENTS, BUT THERE WERE FOUR TOTAL). THE MILEAGE FOR THE FIRST EVENT IS MERELY A GUESTIMATE OF 75,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS OVER 203,000 MILES. THE LAST OF FOUR WAS ABOUT FIVE OR SIX YEARS AGO.
