When vehicle is left in ambient temperatures above 85 degrees, attempting to raise or lower the convertible top is sometimes interrupted when the power tonneau cover door reaches the open position, resulting in complete inability to completethe operation. Tonneau cover door remains locked in the raised position making driving vehicle impossible. When pulling over to raise top with rain approaching, this becomes dangerous, as raising the top to up and locked position must be done manually, a process that takes upwards to about 20 minutes. The sensor switch located on the piston for the tonneau cover door is the problem, it sometimes shows the door partially opened in warm temperatures, giving a false reading, stopping the movement of the top. My car was taken to the dealership twice with this problem. It is hard to recreate, unless the car is left outside in high temperatures. The piston has been replaced. There are currently no tsb's for this problem, yet i am aware of at least one other car, same model and year with the identical problem that was at the same dealership as mine at the same time.

I was driving 55 to 60 mph, then let off the gas to take my exit and was down to about 20 mph when my brakes failed, and i couldn't stop at the light at the end of the ramp. The pedal went all the way to the floor, so i pumped them 2 or 3 times and as i was letting off the break, it started whistling. It sounded like a cross between an accordion and an asthmatic episode. I was already close to school, so i drove to the parking lot and parked. The only way i could slow down and stop was to continuously pump the breaks. I wasn't having nor ever had issues with my breaks before that day.

When the brake pedal is depressed while traveling over a bump,dip or uneven road surface the brake pedal goes to the floor and the car loses its stopping power. You lose your brakes! you have to quickly pump the brake pedal to get pressure back so you can stop. It seems to be a common problem with these cars. Just look at all the posts on the internet. It is not normal for a car to lose it brakes because you went over a bump.

Front brakes squeal and squeak badly when slowly braking since september 2006. I have taken vehicle to dealer x6 times with the same issue. Dealer continues to say its because i "ride" my breaks. I've had the rotors resurfaced x2, rotors replaced x1, brake pad x3. The brakes today 07/01/08, continue to squeal and squeak, dealer states, the brakes have good pad, but rotors need to be resurfaced due to "glaze" they replace them in dec. 2007 (its been 10,000 miles later) and dealer says i need to pay for resurfacing. The back brakes makes loud noise when in reverse. I reported, but dealer did not follow up.
