Consumer Description

WHEN RAISING THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW UP, GLASS DROPS INTO DOOR PANEL AND WILL NOT COME UP. MAKES LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN PRESSING BUTTON TO RAISE WINDOW. DEALERSHIP REPLACES WINDOW ASSEMBLY AND SAYS THEY "GOODWILL" IT TO ME WITH NO CHARGE - EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CHARGED IN THE FIRST PLACE. DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE PART IN STOCK AND I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH A TRASHBAG TAPED WHERE MY WINDOW SHOULD BE IN RAINY WEATHER DURING MY 30-MILE (ONE-WAY) ALL HIGHWAY COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK. THE ONLY WINDOW I EVER OPERATE NOW IS MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND ONLY AS NECESSARY. VERY COSTLY AND DANGEROUS WINDOW SITUATION.
