This is the third time the power sunroof has failed, each time it fails in the exact same manner, the window is opened slightly to vent and then the unit fails, and it won't open or close. The second time, the car was in the shop for over a week, then I had to wait a month for a part to come in. In the meanwhile, I could not use the sunroof either. The headlights stay on most of the time when the car is on. The sensor seems to work intermittently. On bright, sunny days, the headlights come on. On cloudy, rainy days, when the lights should be on, they don't come on. The dealer couldn't find anything wrong with it.
