Not only does the seatbelts not work.. driver side, the front mirror drop off and although replace many times keeps falling down. The windows are dismantled.. and have been fixed many times..a pretty strong car, but the stirring wheel cinlinder or chasse broke and stirring went out (luckily in a parking lot) and had to be towed in backend first. The door light now stays on even when both doors are closed.. using the interior light will cause a drain in the battery and radio lights flickered before battery lost power. The ignition sticks when turning on and makes a loud noise and is hard to turn off; keep reving even when the key is in the off position. Then the battery dies. Recently replaced fuses, but the temperature gauges still don't work. It is always something, but realize the car is old, but it's falling apart..it also has an oil leak and the cover underneath has broken away from oil saturation.. I had the starter repaired 2 years ago, and it dropped out was difficult for the next mechanic to tighten. The steering wheel problem caused the wheels to mis-align and the driver-side tire rubbed against the sharp metal sticking out of the body of the card near the wheel.. mechanic said it needed an entire front alignment and that the front-end is about to drop out. I've only had it for 2 years. Repairs are non-stop. It's always something... a storng car with many problems
