Consumer Description

I CAN TELL BY THE MARKS ON THE PASSANGER SIDE DOOR THAT THE WINDOW ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED PRIOR TO MY BUYING THE CAR. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW GOT STUCK DOWN AND SEEING THE COST OF THE PART AND LABOR I COULDN'T AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED SO THE GUY JUST PUT THE WINDOW IN THE UP POSSISION FOR ME. THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW IS SO LOOSE THAT I CAN'T ROLL IT DOWN BECAUSE IT RATTLES TOO MUCH. THE GAS PEDEL STICKS ALL THE TIME. I CAN BE GOING WHATEVER SPEED L;IMIT AND HAVE TO HIT THE GAS REAL QUICK TO GET IT TO SLOW DOWN AND WHEN I GET READY TO GO THE PEDEL IS STUCK AGAIN AND I HAVE TO PUSH HARD AND THEN IT ALL OF A SUDDEN GOES WITH A JERK. THIS HAS BEEN THE CAR FROM HELL.*AK
