Consumer Description

All four power windows stopped going up or down in a six-week period. Safety is an issue because in the event of an accident when doors are damage, how can one exit the car if the windows do not go down. Dealer said it was the regulator. No warning lights, driver's side went broke, then a few weeks later, the rear left window stopped working, then the driver passenger side window and then the rear right window. Car had only 41,000 miles on it at the time. This issue is all over the internet regarding the 2017 Sportage and Optima vehicles. Children ride in this car also. Safety is definitely compromised by these inoperable windows.
