1 Power Window problem

Failure Date: 09/03/2009

My driver's side power window will initially go down. When I attempt to power the window up, it goes approximately one to two inches then stops. I have to continue driving or leave my car running until the window is up. It is very unsafe to leave my car in any lot or parking space with the window down. On average every 10 minutes it will go up another inch or two. This happens every time I power the window down. I will not leave my window down. Elements will damage the interior, and it leaves me susceptible to vandals. I have two children and I consider this malfunction unsafe for me the driver and my children. I paid $18,000 for the vehicle, I will not allow this to go unfixed, however I feel it is the company's responsibility to recall and repair the issue.

2 Power Window problem

Failure Date: 08/18/2007

Went to roll up drivers side window when it started to rain heavily and window failed to roll up. Rain, driven by wind from high rate of speed on freeway, poured into vehicle which fogged up window and hindered safe operation of vehicle. Was forced to pull over to shoulder of road until rain stopped to safety restart vehicle. Chevy dealer stated that this was not covered by warranty so I had to pay to have motor replaced.
