MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS KEEP SHORTING OUT. SOME TIMES THEY WORK AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. THE BRACKET TO HOLD THE FRONT SEAT BROKE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE HANDLES ON THE PASSENGER DOOR BROKE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND NOW THE SLIDING DOOR IS DOING THE SAME. THE BRAKE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THE ANTILOCK BRAKES MAKE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN APPLIED.
