TOOK IT IN. SAME REASON. CLEANED AND GREASED. THIS IS THE EIGHT TIME I'VE TAKEN IT IN. THEY HAVE REPLACED MOTORS, SWITCHES, TRACKS, SEALS AND NOW WONT ROLL UP OR DOWN . THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE THE START. AT 21000 MILES THE DEALER TELLS ME I NEED NEW PAD AND ROTORS. TAKE IT TO BRAKE SHOP AND THEY TELL ME ALL I NEED IS PAD. BRAKES WORKING FINE RIGHT NOW BUT STILL SQUEAK EVERY NOW AND THEN. THEY HAVE REPLACED ELECTRICAL HARNESSES THAT MAY CATCH ON FIRE....
