"Too many things go wrong with this car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

What is wrong the dashboard? Mine could not survive Texas heat. Looks like somebody set it on fire and it curled up so bad it blocked the defrost vents.

Desperately need Chilton's or other repair manual to fix all the problems with this car.

Passenger window has come off it's track or cable. Cannot get hand up there to fix, even.

Trunk release doesn't open trunk.

Very rough riding.

Heater takes forever to heat. Never get's to a normal hot temperature.

Only tiny people could be shoehorned into the back seat.

Cd player only works after car is warmed up for 30 minutes.

General comments?

Does seem to have plenty of power.

Mpg about 40 on trip from Texas to Washington.

It is hard to install anything with the amount of space that was given, and the firewall is hard to get through to add any wires. Firewall is also too low. It needs to be raised.
