GLASS ON SUN ROOF BLEW OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN HWY 41 AT APPOX. 60 MILES. THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE AND I'M NOT SURE IF IT BLEW OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HWY OR BEHIND ME. I DON'T THINK IT HIT ANOTHER CAR BUT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAD. *TR
THE MASTER WINDOW CONTROL ON DRIVERS DOOR DOES NOT WORK. THE FOUR BUTTONS WILL NOT LOWER THE WINDOWS. THE INDIVIDUAL WINDOW CONTROLS WORK ON THEIR RESPECTIVE DOORS. I CAN NOT LOWER OR RAISE THE WINDOWS FROM THE MASTER CONTROL ON DRIVERS DOOR. HASN'T BEEN FIXED YET. *TR
WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP PART WAY THROUGH THE CYCLE WHEN SET ON INTERMITTENT SETTING. THEY DO NOT MOVE AGAIN UNLESS I SET THEM FOR (SLOW OR FAST) CONTINUOUS OPERATION. THIS PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT WHEN THE WIPERS ARE FIRST TURNED ON. THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURS ON A DAILY BASIS. *TR
