THE SEAL ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S FRONT WINDOWS WERE MISSING. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK 3 TIMES BEFORE THIS WAS FIXED. AFTER THAT, THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 3 TIMES, ONE TIME THEY KEPT IT FOR A WEEK, CLAIM THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE. THEY THEN DECIDED IT WAS THE A/C COMPRESSOR AND WE SHOULD HAVE THE A/C OFF WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. TRIED IT, DOES NOT WORK.
