Consumer Description

EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS IN DRIVE IT WILL GO DOWN I FEEL BACKWARDS THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN CONTINUOUSLY YES, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX THIS THE DISTRACTION IS GOING TO CAUSE PEOPLE ACCIDENTS. THIS MAKES TEXTING WHILE DRIVING SEEM LIKE A SAFE WAY TO BEHAVE.
