4 Power Window problem of the 2009 Chevrolet Malibu

Failure Date: 01/31/2012

After lowering the left-side passenger window several inches, I was unable to raise it via the driver's door control panel. I could make it descend all the way using that panel but not ascend at all. I was able to raise the window only by using the left-side passenger door switch; the driver's door control panel was useless for that particular window only.

7 Power Window problem of the 2005 Chevrolet Malibu

Failure Date: 10/15/2008

I put down the back windows and now they won't go back up. I have an '05 Malibu and rarely use the windows. The motor should not have went (if that is in fact the problem). I will not be able to put my infant in the car in the winter if this problem isn't fixed?.

8 Power Window problem of the 1998 Chevrolet Malibu

Failure Date: 09/01/2007

Use of the window and faulty design with plastic parts led up to the failure. Window is no longer able to be used and has to stay in the closed position or it falls into the door. Too expensive to correct.
