“When I first bought car(used) driver side window would not roll up all the way. Dealer fixed. Now 3 years later, same problem came back, something wrong w/molding causing window to shift off track and not go roll up straight w/out guidance of my hands. Usually if my husband sprays into the track/molding it will go up a couple times on it's own.”
NHTSA complaint #10265244, filed 2009-04, 51,000 miles“Our chevy Tracker was purchased new in oct 02. The first time the oil was changed the vehicle would not start back up imediatly. After spinning the motor over for several minutes it did start but smoked severley. This problem has persisted since that date. The repair tech. At Chevrolet agrees that the valves in the cylinder head are sticking open causing the vehicle to not have the compression to start. But after three attempts to repair they have failed and cannot find the problem what do I do?????????????”
