That's too bad...did you get a loaner?
On my saab, I had an issue where both windows, apon going up, would get all the way to the top, but at the last second switch direction and motor half way back down. I thought it was the regulator, and the dealer had absolutly no clue. 5 mins online I found out the car thought the weather stripping on the softop was a finger or hand, so it auto-reversed. Needless to say, it drove me crazy for weeks, and at least you know what it is and it's getting fixed now.

My 2000 just had a 2nd one go at 67k miles. Also valve cover gaskets, airbag light on, steering wheel control buttons stopped working, and had A/C evaporator box cleaned out again because of smell. They also claim to have fixed the multi-year problem incorrect "check oil level" message when I turn the car off sometimes, but I'll believe that when I don't see it for a month.

Extended warranty has basically broken even at this point with one year left on it - glad I bought it.

No loaner, its only 10 minutes from my house, my brother took my 330 and picked me up(first time the car moved in 2 weeks!!) Also this has been the first one(hopefully only one) in 73,000 miles
