Left rear window stopped functioning within 2 months of purchasing car (november2001). Dealer replaced regulator/motor. Right window functions most of the time, but when I get ready to take to dealer it functions correctly. Both rear windows stopped functioning summer of 2003. Took to dealer & both regulators/motors were replaced. Gear shift is slipping between gear by itself. Took to dealer and was adjusted June 2003.
