THE CONVERTIBLE TOP HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BRAND NEW. WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS HIGHER THAN 30 MILES PER HOUR, THERE IS SIGNIFICANT VIBRATIONS AND NOISE COMING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP MECHANISM. THERE SEEMS TO BE A FAILURE OF THE COVERTIBLE TOP MECHANISM ITSELF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO VARIOUS DEALERS AND NONE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. MOST OF THE TIME THE DEALERS DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT. I NEED THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AS IT COULD HINDER THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS, AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS.
