| Description of the problem | The 1st time it happened i was driving down the road and the rear drivers side window just dropped into the door. I took it to a local dealer and they told me that the regulator was bad so i had to replace the regulator. The 2nd time it happened an individual riding in the back was rolling down the back passenger window when the window dropped into the door again. Once again i took it to a local dealer and i was told that the regulator on this window had to be replaced. The 3rd time it happened i was driving down the interstate and the drivers window suddenly dropped into the door and this one was within 30 days of having the 2nd window fixed. Once again i went to a local dealer and the regulator on this window was bad as well. Yesterday i was leaving work and started to roll down my windows when the passenger window suddenly dropped into the door. Once again i took my truck to a local dealer and was told that the regulator was bad. I am filing this complaint because 4 window regulators going bad within 15 months of each other should not be acceptable. Plus i have 3 small children and what if they would have been with me and the weather was bad outside. Everytime that the incidents have happened i have been fortunate to not have my family with me. I have done some research and it seems this is a pretty common issue plus the dealer has told me that this is a problem that they see regularly. |
