FIRST ISSUE STARTED WITH THE NUMBERS OF THE CLOCK/STEREO FLICKERING AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS OF THE CAR BEING OFF DURING THE WINTER. THEN DURING THE SUMMER THERE WERE A COUPLE INCIDENTS WHEN THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN NOR UP UNTIL A COUPLES MINUTES AFTER THE CAR BEING ON. A COUPLE MONTHS LATER I ROLLED THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW 5 INCHES DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND 15 MINUTES LATER THE WINDOW WENT UP ABOUT AN INCH AND DID NOT BUDGE BUT WOULD MAKE A BUZZING SOUND. AFTER A DAY OR TWO THERE WAS NOT A BUZZING SOUND AND ALL THE OTHER WINDOWS DID NOT WORK. TOOK IN MY VEHICLE TO BE CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE COMING FROM THE MAIN COMPUTER (MOTHERBOARD I ASSUME). THIS HAPPENED IN FEBRUARY OF 2014 AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED. *TR

MY AIR BAG LIGHT DINGS AND STAYS LITE REGULARLY WHEN DRIVING. I HAD AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR
