| 1st issue was the speedometer started malfunctioning off & on. it shows going much faster than car really is going. doesn't happen all the time. 2nd issue was warning light which a station told me that the code is for a malfunction in the fuel line, it shows a major leak, but repairmen could find no real leak. warning light does go off & on, so not on all the time. 3rd issue was off & on the front driver & passenger windows start rolling down or up and then just quit, but start working again after shutting off engine a couple times. 4th issue was the rpm meter started doing what the speedometer had been doing. 5th issue is the passenger side wiper stopped working. that's the only one that hasn't fixed itself. all the others are off & on working or not working. the wiper was the latest incident with all of them starting in the past 6 months. *tr | |||
