(1) windshield mounted rear-view mirror shakes/vibrates badly at idle and on highway, especially with convertible top down, making following vehicles appear blurry. Dealer replaced mirror once, second dealer retightened to windshield, but problem remains. (2) drive belts make growling sound at idle, A/C on, when shifting between park & reverse, or between reverse & drive. Belt & tensioner replaced per existing service advisory, but problem still occurs. (3) rear mounted cd changer does not function if vehicle is started soon after inserting cd cartridge; "err" displayed on radio. Once "err" is displayed, must remove and reinsert cd cartridge to make work again (restarting vehicle or turning radio off/on doesn't help). Voltage at cd changer drops down to about 10V when starting vehicle. Dealers clueless. (4) electric fuel pump behind driver seat makes annoying buzzing sound when vehicle stopped, at idle, esp. Noticeable with windows up. Dealer says noise is normal and existing service advisories only apply to '97 & '98 vehicles.
