1. Electrical: driver & passenger side electric windows would not roll up after rolling them down. Drivers side window button was not broke...& physically worked when pushed down or pulled up but did not roll the window up. Passenger side window button actually broke/caved in when pushed to roll window down. Once rolled down...it would not roll up. 2. Unknown or other: air conditioner barely blows any air out of vents. When set on "highest fan option"...u can hear it working & can feel cool air but u have to have your face 2 inches in front of vent to feel it. 3. Seat belts: passenger side seat belt will not click/lock into locking device to keep seatbelt on. Don't know of anything breaking it...just wouldn't "click" into locking device one day.
