DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED AFTER 2ND WINDOW FAILURE. THEY HAD RECEIVED "NO SERVICE ADVISEMENTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM." OBVIOUSLY FOMOCO USED SOME DEFECTIVE PARTS. WE HAVE NO SMALL CHILDREN TO "PLAY" WITH THE WINDOWS. DEFECTIVE PARTS IS THE ONLY REASON I CAN IMAGINE FOR 3 OUT OF 4 WINDOWS TO FAIL! THE FAILURE IS NOT IN THE MOTORS. IT IS IN THE MECHANISM. *AK
WINDSHIELD WIPERS STAY IN CENTER POSITION OF WINDSHIELD, CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. *AK
POWER WINDOWS' REGULATOR FAILED.
DRIVER'S EXTERNAL REAR MIRROR DESIGN DOES NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT VISION TO THE LANE LEFT OF THE VEHICLE. WITH THE MIRROR ADJUSTED LEFT TO ITS LIMIT, VEHICLE ITSELF IS STILL VISIBLE FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT. A VEHICLE PASSING BECOMES INVISIBLE, AND THE VIEW DOES NOT PREVENT THE DRIVER FROM MOVING INTO THE LEFT LANE AND INTO A PASSING VEHICLE.
TRANSMISSION RUNS ROUGH AND NOISY.
AIR CONDITIONER TUBE ASSEMBLY FAILED.
DRIVER'S/PASSENGER'S POWER WINDOW PLASTIC BRACKET WITHIN DOOR BROKE, RENDERING POWER WINDOWS INOPERATIVE. *AK
PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR DISTORTS VISION, MAKES OTHER VEHICLES APPEAR FURTHER AWAY THAN THEY ACTUALLY ARE.
