The lights above the rear license plate didn't work because the wiring was faulty. I didn't really care, but I got stopped by the police so I HAD to get it fixed |
| 233700 mi | The windows & sunroof no longer work. At first the problem was intermittent, but then permanently stuck. The windows are closed (phew), but the sunroof is open. We Jerry-rigged a solution by taping it shut with cardboard & duct tape! |
| 237000 mi | Electrical system has been on a downward spiral for some time. The car's been "dead" then jumped several times. Right now it is not drivable & we're trying to decide whether to put any more $ into it. It's been a great car. |
| 159300 mi | Smelled smoke when op the driver side pass window. I removed door card and disconnected the switch and regulator. It is winter I will fix later. I est parts to cost $180 for reg and approx 1-2 hrs to replace. |
