“Purchased used van from originating dealership. The dealership had to replace the passenger side power window motor following my purchase. The driver side power window has been exhibiting failure for over a year. It now is almost totally useless and needs to be replaced. When the window is put down, its motion slows to a stop approximately a 3rd of the way down and will go no further and it will not go up. Several minutes have to pass before the I am able to get the window to start going back up. It takes several waiting periods before the window will go up enough to close. …”
