Power Window problems of the 2006 Chevrolet Impala

The driver side window regulator broke causing the window to drop suddenly in the door.

Child's neck trapped in window frame assembly. From driver's seat, unable to operate window release.

A week after picking up the vehicle, the driver's window was making screeching sound when lowered. I took it back on July 3, 2006. The inside door panel was removed and the actuator was lubricated. Less than a week later the screeching noise came back. I then took it back to the dealer and was told that Chevrolet was in the process of making new window seals but they were not yet available. I was told to wait until my first oil change and by that time the new gaskets should be available.

I purchased a 2006 chevy Impala on March 1, 2006. It was purchased under the name of virginia brady. I got married in may of this year. I had my car in 3 times to fix the drivers window. It screeches like someone's finger nails on a black board. To me this is a big safety issue as when the window screeches when you put down the window. A person cringes and sometimes will close their eyes. I have to be very careful that I do not do this as it can cause an accident. The screeching happens when the car sits in the sun for a while. In cool weather it doesn't happen. The first time I took the car in was may 22, 2006. The report that I received from the service department seemed like I didn't know what I was talking about because I am a woman. The second time was June 8, 2006 and the last time was July 14, 2006. On July 14, I received a notice that this problem is a problem with a number of 2006 chevy Impalas. I have the paper work that chevy issued on may 18, 2006 about this problem. Now I am suppose to bring back my car and leave it again. Why am I paying for a new car that seems to spend so much time in the service department because chevy doesn't know how to fix it. The next problem that I consider a safety problem is the driver's side read view mirror. I am a tall person so I didn't notice this before, all I noticed was a crack underneath the mirror when I backed into the drive way at home. Now I found out that the mirror doesn't go to the right far enough for safety. If someone shorter than myself or someone who likes the seat up further than I do, they wouldn't be able to use the rear view mirror properly. Today, Sunday, August 27, 2006, I got a call from jason who works at the chevy service about me taking my car back to the service department for them to fix a problem that they don't know how to fix.
