Consumer Description

DURING THE RAISING OF MY CONVERTIBLE TOP THE MECHANISM FAILED LEAVING THE TOP HALF WAY UP. THE DAMAGE IS SO BAD THE TOP WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN. THE DEALER SAYS IT WILL COST $6,000 TO REPAIR. THE CAR IS A 2005 AND HAS ONLY 43,000 MILES AND THE TOP HAS NOT BEEN CYCLED THAT MANY TIMES. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE TOP. I FEEL THAT THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED VERY EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE COST OF REPAIR IS 1/2 THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. I DID NOT ABUSE THE TOP BECAUSE THE RAISING AND LOWERING IS ALL AUTOMATIC AND CAN NOT BE ABUSED. *TR
