| Description of the problem | The windows on my 2005 toyota solara have problems. About 6 months ago i started to hear the windows to drag when being put up or down. The passenger window has a piece in the door now that rattles and slides around inside the door, when the window goes up it goes up too far and it sticks out of the rubber barrier it suppose to seal in. I worry if i have a wreck the window may not be secure enough to protect me from shattering since it does not seal in itself. I had contacted haley toyota dealership and they told me some people had window complaints but would not tell me how many. Their answer is electric motors break. My 2005 solara has only 28,000 miles on it and i bought one of the first ones on the lot in 2005. I have been told it could possibly cost me $300. 00 or more to fix. The driver window is starting to get sluggish now and probably be the same problem to arise with this window. I don't think a car with only 28000 miles on it in 5 years should have this problem. I think i might not be the only one with window problems. The dealership was very defensive about the call i made to them about the recall on the toyota's if mine was included in the recall list. They don't give you any info on anything. I was told back when the recall was done by haley toyota in roanoke va that it was not problem. They said the problem was people were putting think floor mats on top of the toyota mats. Just don't worry about it they said back when the first recall was out for the floor mats. This is not good business. This is the second toyota i have bought. |
