“Drivers power window gets stuck in the up position, took vehicle to several dealers for problem that they cannot seem to resolve, I have a baby due in 2 weeks and 2 other children, if there is a fire in the car I feel this is a safety hazard. I work in law enforcement and advised geeral motors how do they expect me or my pregnant finace to break a window from the inside of the vehicle. Impossible! If fire we would all be killed due to smoke.”
