2 Power Window problem

Failure Date: 10/09/2010

The driver's side window relay switch is bad. I have had several quotes from dealerships and looks like the cost is around $400. 00. (for them to replace and reprogram). There is a huge safety issue if you cannot roll down your window on the driver's side and roll down and lock or unlock any of the doors or windows from the driver's side as well. I have read many complaints on various websites from consumers with the same problem. With the majority of these switches going bad, they need to recall this, as it is very costly andnot at all safe. Especially if an officer needs to approach you and you have to open your door first. That could lead to an unsafe incident toward yourself as well as any law enforcement agent. If you can please address this issue, it would be greatly appreciated. I have researched any recall on this and have not had any luck. Thank you for your time in addressing this issue.

3 Power Window problem

Failure Date: 04/03/2005

I have a 2004 chevy trail blazer. The locking mechanism for the window failed, allowing my dog to put her foot on the control and roll the window up on her head. As soon as she was trapped I tried to free her, but the window had gotten off the track and would not lower. I stopped the vehicle in the middle of the road and tried to force the window down but that would not work either. Fortunately there was a police officer behind me when this happened and he shattered the window with his baton. If the police officer had not been right there, my dog would have strangled to death. There needs to be some sort of sensor to prevent the windows from rolling up if there is an object in the space. I know children as well as pets have been killed by this and it needs to be corrected. Another possibility is to position the control vertically on the door to make it less easy to accidentally trip.
