| Description of the problem | During the first week of july 2007 the passenger's side window suddenly slid down when i activated the electric window. During the second week of the same month the driver's side window suddenly slid down when activated. I removed the inside panel cover of the doors and noticed the cabling hanging loose and wound around twisted on the motor that caused the window to go up and down. Upon inspection, the problem was attributed to weak, bad or incorrect design. This sudden problem caused a severe safety risk to any driver or passengers. *ak |
