What owners wrote
While in vehicle consumer went to close window, and consumer's nephew had his finger in way, and window took child's finger right off. Contacted dealer, and dealer was unwilling to remedy the problem.
Dash has curled up so badly that my window will not defrost. This condition has also caused my winshield to crack from on side of the car to the other. It is so bad that at times I need to wipe the windshield with one hand while driving with the other just so I can see while driving. I also have a problem with the windshield linkage that keeps coming apart during operation of the wipers causing the wipers to stop working.
