“Within the first month of purchasing this vehicle I started to experience problems rolling up and down the rear passenger window. It wasn't too long, then front window malfunctioned. The area of concern is for safety while driving in regards to rain coming in car and attackers. I would like to know that my windows are operating properly while stopped. The check engine light has also come on twice since new.”
