“The convertible top unlatched by itself while driving. The window at night cannot be seen through the convertible top window due to cracks and needs constant repairs. The suspension of the car has a cracking sound which the dealership hears but ignores, the windshield cracks all of the time it sounds like the car is going to split in half, the suspension makes a very loud metal cracking noises as if it is separating from the vehicle while driving.”
