| Description of the problem | I bought a 2015 kia optima ex brand new off the lot in october 2014. Since then i have had to replace both drivers side and passenger side window regulator modules. The first one that broke (passenger) in march 2016 and was told because the window shattered its not covered under warranty. To replace the module and window it was $700. The drivers side window regulator went bad in july 2017. That was $250 to replace since the window stayed in tact. Here we are november 2018 and for the second time the passenger side regulator has gone bad. That |
