While pulling out of the garage vehicle stalled, and the garage door fell down onto the roof of the vehicle. Also, alternator and the battery went completely out. Engine check light was on for a week. In addition, when shifting gears, transmission wasn't shifting properly. Passenger's side window was jammed and stuck half way up. Finally, when applying the gas pedal there was a pounding noise, and no power within the vehicle.

Seat belt would continuously chime. The air bag light stays on after starting vehicle. Vehicle would start erratically. Door frame would leak. Convertible top did not stay closed. Vehicle would idle at 2000rpms when slowing down & almost stall out. Will be taking vehicle to dealer.
