Well, THIS sucks.
Damn dude that really sucks...
Should of came down to San Antonio and bought a new one cause my 08 is runnning perfect *knock on wood*
About the window tho, it should just fix itself. My Scion tC used to have the same problem on the passenger window anytime I took the car in for warranty work. It seemed to not work for about an hour or so after the battery had been disconnected for along time, then it would just fix itself. It would take about a day for the "auto-up" feature to work itself out also. Hope yours does the same.

5/18/08: Finally back in town. Take the new car out for a couple hours, enjoy the hell out of it.
5/19/08: Drove it to work and back. Whee.
5/20/08: Drove it to work and back. Whee. Went for a drive up Lime Creek Road.
5/21/08: Drove it to work and back. Whee.
5/22/08: Drove it to work and back. Whee.
Evening of 5/22/08: Wanted to go for a drive with the wifey up Lime Creek Road. However . . .
Five minutes into the drive, the TPMS light started to flash.
Thinking I had a nail in a tire, I started to pull over. Then other lights came on. I lost power. The car would not respond to the throttle. The TPMS light continued to flash.
Then the car went dead, as I coasted to a stop on a dimly lit section of Anderson Mill, just south of 1431, at 9:00 pm.
The car would not start. It turned over just fine, but it sounded like there was no fuel getting to the engine. I could put the key in, and get power for things like the radio, lights, windshield wipers, even the horn (I could lock the car with a key fob). I was not, however, able to roll up the car's windows. Two hours in the dark, and I have a lot of bugs (insects) in there . . .
I got the car towed to my garage. Dead.
I had to go back out of town, so the dealership (VERY responsive, by the way) sent a wrecker to my house, picked up my car, and have had it all weekend. Now they're waiting on a part (IBM? ICM? Something to do with the ECM, if I understood the voicemail while I was at O'Hare yesterday).
So I'm stuck in a Dodge Calibre, on the dealership's dime, waiting for my brand-new '08 350Z 6MT (with 450 miles on the odometer) to come back to life.
I wonder if I should start investigating the Texas lemon laws already. I really don't want to; such a great little car. When it works.
