| Description of the problem | "takata recall" front passenger window is tempermental and on many occasions will not close unless inched up carefully in increments. Since this is done while driving it is a great distraction and is an accident waiting to happen. Wiring was already replaced, but was told by attendant that her car window does the same thing and is caused by the expansion of the plastic piece on the top of the window sill needed for closure. This is a laypersons explanation of the existing problem. The window sometimes goes up or down and not half way as well. The other three windows work without problems. This needs to be addressed and fixed without delay. |
