Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While we were on vacation, we were riding around in our car with the windows partially down. While we were riding, the front driver's side window fell completely into the door panel. We stopped & were able to borrow tools to get the window back up. We stuffed the windows with cardboard to hold it in place. When we came home, my boyfriend opened the door panel and placed a block of wood in it because the windows kept falling down! Some time later, the rear passenger window did the same thing! It too would not stay up, so he installed a block of wood in that door panel as well. …”
