Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: After buying my '98 park avenue, i noticed that after washing it on a couple of occasions that the paint had began to chip. i took it to a couple of paint shops and everyone said that this car should not have paint peeling and it was a defect because they could see the factory primer. my engine died without any warning. the teperature gauge didn't show that it was overheated and no smoke or steam came from under the hood. right before the car stopped the dic showed : check coolant levels and even then it didn't beep as it should have. i have had a problem with my seat belts since purchasing this vehicle. they are continuously tangled and twisted when they cross the body. moreover, my owner's manual has an illustration that states that my seatbelt usage is incorrect.
