Windshield wipers work but when they are turned off, they stop in a vertical positions in the driver's viewing area. The power steering hose cost me over $200 to be replaced because it is built into the firewall. The car had to be taken apart in order to get to the hose.

Rear window - the seal allows water to leak into the trunk area and settle around the spare tire area.this problem is especially evident after going through a car wash or heavy rainstorm. The water has caused the spare tire covering to warp and have a "moldy" smell and has caused condensation to settle in the tail lights. Also, since the area is damp most of the time , there is much interior fogging. The exterior paint has faded in several locations and the clear coat on the hood has started peeling. The red paint on the roof, side panels, and back of car has faded and has a hazy look to it. There is a white finish on these areas. The clear coat on the hood has started peeling and has left faded spots. I have noticed that many probes have similar paint problems in the exact same areas.
