Consumer Description

THE REAR POWER WINDOW MOTORS HAVE FAILED TO OPERATE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. AFTER REMOVING THE DOOR PANELS AND CHECKING THE WIRING FOR GOOD CONTACTS, THE WINDOWS WILL OPPERATE FOR A SHORT WHILE. I SEE THIS AS A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM DUE TO THE FACT THAT ONE MIGHT BE TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE AND UNABLE TO ESCAPE BY OTHER MEANS THAN THE WINDOW. IF YOU WERE NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE WINDOW, YOU CAN'T ESCAPE. MY KIDS RIDE BACK THERE.*AK
