“The window regulators need to be recalls. The first one to go was the drivers window regulator. Cost over $500.00 with parts and labor. The plastic part in the regulator broke and the window went down in the door. My husband was able to order the part on line for $200 and fix it himself. The second window regulator to go was the drivers rear passenger window. As I was driving the window kept inching down. Had to stop 3 times on the way home to pull the window up so it wouldn't fall into the door,taped it up till I got home. Again the window regulator something broke inside the part. …”
