Bought the van and service warranty from the used car dealer, Pflueger Tony Honda in Waipahu. I told him I want a van with less maintenance. This is one of the many problems I have experienced and our lemon law is useless. The service contract ($1400) is useless too. I need to purchase a new motor for the window. At the ONLY Ford dealer, I can't use the service contract until I pay the $250 diagnostic test. I already told them that the motor needs to be replaced because my friend tested it for free. There's activity between the control panel and the window. It's the motor that needs to be replaced.

The window won't go up and down. It's just stuck. The diagnostic screen behind the steering wheel lighted everything else, but the windows. Why pay extra? Ford would not continue to fix the window so I had to go to my friend to fix it. My service agreement didn't cover anything, not even for the rental car of 2 days.
