Consumer made a right turn and the engine stopped. After switching back and forth, the vehicle began to start slowly. Once started, the vehcile merged forward and began to jerk back and forth. Consumer proceeded, she was driving approx. 10-15MPH when she began to brake for a vehicle and the ABS light came on and there were no brakes to apply. Consumer hit vehicle at 15MPH. Approximately 20-25 minutes later, both air bags deployed. The whinshield shattered.
Convertible top leaks and has done so since the first rain when I bought the car in june of 1998. Vehicle went in for repairs on several occasions with no success in fixing the problem. Problem has progressively gotten worse over the last years. Heavy rain floods the front seats of the vehicle as does washing. Finally gave up after several unsucessful attempts. Slowly over the last 2 years the window motors have gone bad preventing me from rolling the windows down. They get stuck and don't roll up.
