“Passenger side power window goes part way down, will not go out - intermittent problem increased to permanent problem. Now goes down maybe 1/2 inch, only goes up 1/32 inch at a time. Has been repaired twice, needs repair again. I purchased the vehicle used in 6/03, not long after that, problem surfaced in increasing regularity. When I had problem repaired by dealer in 1/04, I was told this had been repaired before. Items repaired / replaced, were: 1314wsc95 - electrical misc. Po45391 - motor po45386 - actuator several rivets. …”

It takes an extreme amount of force applied to the pedal to stop this vehicle, noticed at 35k. Dangerous and not easy to get used to. In addition, windshield leaks on the top drivers side and the rear right door handle is failing on back dutch doors now at 65k. Also, both power door actuators on the drivers side and the passenger side failed completely at 34k.”
