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.
