| 2 months from the date that i purchased my vehicle, the rear driver's side power sidelight window mtr. malfunctioned and then broke. i attempted to rig it for the time being as the parts are extremely expensive. then about 5 months later, the motor died altogether. now i cannot put the window down and the vehicle is a conv., which means that i risk breaking the window everytime i put the top down. the veh. chugs severly bet. 55 & 75 mph. accelerating past 75 or dropping to below 55 is the only way to solve the problem. the headlight cover mtr. broke approx. 8 months after i purchased my veh., i replaced the mtr. & 4 months later it seems to be burning out again. i connot go w/o the use of my hdlights, the truck release has not operated properly since the purchase of the veh., the hydraulic rods have always been bad. | |||
