1 Power Window problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2007

Driver's door manual window regulator binds forcing window out of track.

2 Power Window problem

Failure Date: 02/25/2006

The driver side window is not working properly. The window has a hard time opening and closing. Sometimes the window would get stuck while in operation and the only way to keep window moving is to constantly switch the window switch back and forth between opening and closing. Worst is when the window would slip out of its sliding bracket. When this happens,the window is totally stuck and the door has to be taken apart so that the window can be put back into its bracket. This is a potential safety issue.
