NHTSA complaint #10343676, filed 2010-07, 50,000 miles“A few days ago, I've had a third window malfunction. Three my windows dropped down inside of the door. The first window did this the first week I bough the car(7/06) and was not covered by my warranty. The second window stopped working over 6 mos ago and now the third one. I know someone else who has the same problem and started with her back windows. The winter months are here and I have kids that are asthmatic. I was given a quote of $ 300 to replace mechanism of each window! How terrible for something that was not caused on my part.”
