| Actuator cable on front left power window broke, and window was stuck down. vehicle therefore could not be locked, and hence could not be used for 2 weeks (the amount of time it took for the dealer to accept the car for repair). the dealer's mechanic was able to tell me the model year of the car and the cause of the inoperative window before he even saw the car, because, as he said, there was a large number of such failures on that model and year of the car. cost of repair approx $500. | |||
