Had a flat tire, flat repair pump/sealant kit did not work, clogged up tire valve, and had to have car towed. Manual recommended to take to dealer. Dealer could not deal with problem (didn't have tires in stock-said I also needed a new tire air pressure sensor and a new tire) .This would take a day to get parts. Next day, parts didn't come and I asked that they fix the tire valve stem and inflate the tire so I could take it to a tire shop.

4 tiny welds that hold the power window assembly in place broke in the driver's door, causing the only screw holding the motor in place to loosen and damage its mounting hole. The window would no longer fully open or close, as the regulator was likewise affected. Shop drilled new holes to attach more screws to the motor assembly.
