I PURCHASE MY CAR IN 2001 BRAND NEW. SHORTLY AFTER I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT WHEN I GET IN MY CAR IN THE MORNING TIME OR AT NIGHT ( WHENEVER I USE THE LIGHTS) IT WOULD FLASH FROM BRIGHT TO DIM I TOOK IT TO STOCKBURGER SO THEY COULD LOOK AT IT BUT IT WASN'T FLICKERING THEN SO THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. AND IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME THING THERE IS THIS NOISE IN THE ENGINE LIKE A TICKING SOUND WHEN I START THE CAR I TOOK TO MIDAS FOR THEM TO CHECK IT OUT BUT THEY SAID THE NOISE WAS NORMAL IT DOESN'T SOUND NORMAL. THE WINDOW ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOESN'T ALWAYS GO UP WHEN ITS LET DOWN IT STAYS STUCK FOR A WHILE THEN IT GOES UP. I DID HAVE A RADIO PROBLEM STOCKBURGER COULDN'T REALLY FIND THE PROBLEM SO THEY JUST REPLACE THE WHOLE THING. WHEN...
