“The passenger's side automatic window started making a grinding noise, slowed and eventually stopped working. I had to pull the window up while working the button. The same day the driver's side window was making the same sounds and also failed. I took off the inside of the passenger's door, I noticed that a plastic piece holding a metal cable on the window regulator had broken in half. When I checked the driver's door I saw it had broken in the same spot. I was lucky enough to catch the problem before both motors burn out. …”
NHTSA complaint #10168418, filed 2006-09, 84,700 miles“The driver's side automatic window slowed and eventually stopped working. Because of the failure we had to leave our vehicle in a public parking lot at one point with the window fully open. This is a safety issue and invites theft among other things. One month later the passenger's side window was making the same sounds and also failed. When I took off the inside of both doors, the exact same failure had occurred. A plastic piece holding a metal cable on the window regulator had broken in half in the same spot on both windows. …”
NHTSA complaint #10144648, filed 2005-12, 80,000 miles“I bought the vehicle in new march 2001. That november the drivers window stopped moving. I had to have my drivers window regulator replaced, it was done under warranty. A little more than a year later the passenger regulator needed replaced. In the fall of 2003 the drivers window stopped moving again and two months later the passenger window stopped. I have searched junk yards for one but they don't have that new of a vehicle. And when I do find one the regulator is already broke. I have since then replaced the passanger window but I still can't find a drivers side. …”

Dealer solution 1st time was to place window back in track. The 2nd time I was charged to place window back in track and I was made aware that the window track/gasket had become damged and would need replacement. After I questioned them why the track wasn't replaced when it first happend and while it was under warranty they give me a discount on replacement window track/ gasket. …”
