Mine started by taking longer and making some grinding noises. It worked off and on for a few months until one day it finally broke the flaps that open and close when it retracts and it just stuck in mid-cycle. A few hours later I was able to get back up and secure, but that was it.
I think I paid about $1500 to have the motor replaced, which I really didn't mind because I was expecting as much, but the real agravating thing was the $500 or so to repair the flaps that had broken when I kept trying to use it after it had been acting up. I was a knucklehead for trying to use it after I knew it was having problems, so maybe you can learn from my stupidity!
Good luck.
