Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“There was no noticeable reason for the passenger window to fail. I don't have children that would have been playing with the windows to have caused the failure. The passenger window regulator or associated parts just ceased working. In fact I use the driver's side window 5 times as often as the passenger window, and I have never had a problem. The first time was in 2005, and a few days ago on 5-18-07.”
NHTSA complaint #10191358, filed 2007-05, 42,000 miles“Our Corvette convertible had a rattle in the back we id as the back window from the convertible top had become separated from the adhesive and fell out into the back of the car. This seems to be a problem that is being handled through the recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10297358, filed 2009-12, 30,000 miles“2004 Chevrolet Corvette power window regulators keep failing. Window will either not roll down at all, or sometimes the regulator cable will fray and window will partially go down. I have had two regulators on the passenger side and the current one no longer works. And I have just installed the third one on the driver side. This car only has 48,000 mile on it and it is babied. Yet these parts keep failing and the repair cost is $550.00 per incident. 5 regulators in under 50,000 miles seems like a problem to me since I have owned 20 cars in my life and have never had this problem until now.”
NHTSA complaint #10420777, filed 2011-08, 20,000 miles“In october of 2005 the driver side power window ceased to function, and the passenger side operated sporadically. Dealer replaced both window regulators under warranty. Then in february of 2007, the passenger window ceased to function again. Once again this regulator was replaced under warranty. Then in february 2010 the passenger windows ceased to operate again, then may 2010 the driver side window ceased to operate again. The dealer replaced these now at a very significant fee (2.5% the original cost of the vehicle). …”
