| Description of the problem | Since purchasing vehicle on 6/16/2016 we have had a recurring problem with drivers side window engaging the auto-reversing (anti-entrapment) feature causing an inability to close window. We have mentioned this issue to dealership numerous times sometimes documented, sometimes not. They reset switch, only for the problem to return. On our last visit6/31/2020 we were told there was a tsb (12-272-19r) but we would be charged $276. 22 for the repair. This is a safety issue and should be covered. We also purchased an extended warranty for $2547. 00 good until 6/16/2026 or 126000 miles and were turned down on coverage from them as well. |
