| Description of the problem | I was driving and went to roll down my driver side window on the way home from work and the whole window just dropped into my door never to be seen again. To my luck, it began to rain..... Badly. As if getting wet wasn't enough, every time a vehicle would pass me going the other direction at an intersection i would get splashed with nasty road water in my face!!! It sprayed me so bad once when a vehicle passed me that i hit the curb and could have easily had a horrible accident or worse, killed someone on a curb!!! This cost me over $300 to have the whole motor assembly replaced in the door and sounds like it is all too common due to a poorly designed plastic tab that breaks. What will it take for a recall on this? Some poor persons' child getting hit at a bus stop during a rain storm? Can't wait for it to happen again. |
