ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST WILL HAVE TO BE PERFORMED BY THE DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG. AS FOR THE WINDOW: ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING WITH THE WINDOW HALFWAY DOWN. WHEN I TRIED TO ROLL IT BACK UP, IT WOULDN'T GO. IT JUST STAYED THERE, THEN STARTED SLIDING DOWN. A REPAIR SHOP FIXED IT.*AK

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.

IF LIQUID IS SPILLED IN THE CONSOLE BOX AREA, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAN ILLUMINATE AND STAY "ON" DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS LEAKAGE CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE AIR BAG TO INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A PROTECTIVE COVER OVER THE AIR BAG SENSOR TO PREVENT POSSIBLE MALFUNCTION CAUSED BY THE SPILLING OF LIQUID SUBSTANCES ON THE SENSOR. AIR BAG SENSORS DAMAGED BY PREVIOUS LIQUID SPILLAGE WILL BE REPLACED.
