EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, STRUCTURE:BODY:TRUNK LID, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2 MONTHS FROM THE DATE THAT I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SIDELIGHT WINDOW MTR. MALFUNCTIONED AND THEN BROKE. I ATTEMPTED TO RIG IT FOR THE TIME BEING AS THE PARTS ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. THEN ABOUT 5 MONTHS LATER, THE MOTOR DIED ALTOGETHER. NOW I CANNOT PUT THE WINDOW DOWN AND THE VEHICLE IS A CONV., WHICH MEANS THAT I RISK BREAKING THE WINDOW EVERYTIME I PUT THE TOP DOWN. THE VEH. CHUGS SEVERLY BET. 55 & 75 MPH. ACCELERATING PAST 75 OR DROPPING TO BELOW 55 IS THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE HEADLIGHT COVER MTR. BROKE APPROX. 8 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY VEH., I REPLACED THE MTR. & 4 MONTHS LATER IT SEEMS TO BE BURNING OUT AGAIN. I CONNOT GO W/O THE USE OF MY HDLIGHTS, THE TRUCK RELEASE HAS NOT OPERATED PROPERLY SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEH., THE HYDRAULIC RODS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN BAD.
