DRIVING NORMALLY, ABOUT TO MAKE A TURN ONTO A STREET MY POWER STEERING FAILS AND I GET A LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD ABOUT BATTERY CHARGING MALFUNCTION. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT TURNS OUT MY ACCESSORY BELT THAT DRIVES THE AC COMPRESSOR, POWER STEERING PUMP AND ALTERNATOR WAS COMPLETELY SHREDDED AND NOT ON THE PULLEYS. I HAVE DAMAGE TO MULTIPLE PULLEYS IN MY CAR. MY POWER STEERING PULLEY IS MISSING BIG CHUNKS BECAUSE OF IMPACT WITH THE SUB-FRAME. THIS IS A KNOWN SERVICE BULLETIN ( SIB 11 09 08 ) THE POWER STEERING PULLEY IMPACTS THE SUB-FRAME BECAUSE OF MOTOR MOVEMENT WHEN HITTING BUMPS ETC.. THIS CAUSED MY BELT TO BE RIPPED INTO SHREDS AND BREAK OFF BIG CHUNKS OF MY POWER STEERING PULLEY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OF PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS ROLLING UP AND DOWN THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW. IT WASN'T TOO LONG, THEN FRONT WINDOW MALFUNCTIONED. THE AREA OF CONCERN IS FOR SAFETY WHILE DRIVING IN REGARDS TO RAIN COMING IN CAR AND ATTACKERS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT MY WINDOWS ARE OPERATING PROPERLY WHILE STOPPED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALSO COME ON TWICE SINCE NEW. *TR
