| The car seems to lose gear while going slowat higher rates of speed it seems to shift okay.it appears like it is 3rd. gear that seems to slip. .regarding windshield wipers they stay up when you stop them as oppose to settling down underneath the hood. finally the door ajar sensor stays on even though both doors are closed,if i play with the passenger seat sometimes the sensor will stop showing door ajar signal.*ak | |||
