VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
IN AUGUST,1998 THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW MECHANISM FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AND IN NOVEMBER THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW FAILED THE SAME WAY. ALSO THE BACK LEFT WINDOW WON'T GO DOWN ALL THE WAY AND IS PROBABLY READY TO GO TOO. THE PARTS FOR EACH REPLACEMENT ARE OVER $300.00. IT SEEMS FAULTY TO ME SINCE THE CAR IS ALWAYS PARKED IN THE GARAGE WHEN NOT IN USE AND HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE.
