THE DEALER REPLACED THE MIRROR, AND IT'S KNOWN THAT THE IN 98 MODELS REAR VIEW MIRRORS ARE MOUNTED TO THE ROOF CONSOLE. AS A RESULT OF 97 DEFECTS, DOOR LOCKS FREEZE IN THE OPEN POSITION WHEN CONSUMER GETS IN THE CAR AND CLOSES THE DOOR IN BELOW 25 DEGREE TEMPERATURE. THE DOOR WILL NOT BE CLOSED DUE TO FREEZING OF THE LOCKS. THE WINDOWS LEAKS AFTER WASHING VEHICLE OR IF IT RAINS.
