What I think, but i'm no mechanic...
Question: 1. Both front windows rattle when I drive over uneven roads.. Answer: Take the door panel off and see if there are any loose screws? Question: 2. Sometimes my transmission stays on 3rd during hard accerlation.. Answer: How many miles are on it? Maybe needs new trans. fluid or going bad... Question: 3. At times the front interior light does not light up..only the rear pillar lights come on all the time..when I open/unlock using remote key.. Answer: Maybe the previous owner messed with the wiring? Check the contact points where the bulbs go in and replace the bulbs. Question: 4. the remote key does not unlock the doors when I press unlock..especially my car is parked under the hot sun.. Answer: I would replace the battery in the remote. This may also be a wiring problem. Where did you get the car? Kinda scary
