Both the driver and the passenger windows fell off the tracks, so I had a friend pry them up and he got the windows to stay up, but you could not use either window. I did not have the money to get the windows fixed for a while until I was finally able to afford to get the driver's window fixed in may 2008 which cost $385. 00. They replaced the regulator. On 12/4/2008, it happened yet again to the driver's side window and the warranty was only good for 60 days labor/30days parts, so I am yet again not able to use either window. I was told by quite a few people that this is a very common problem and that if I got it fixed yet again, it would probably happen yet again. I did not see this defect listed on the recall list however.
When it rains, there appears a puddle of water on each side of the floor in the back seat. The dealer could not find any leaks, but it still leaks.
The vehicle interior floor is staying wet. We have taken the vehicle in and was told the problem was corrected, however it is not and we are taking the vehicle in again. We have heard of other people having this problem and will contact you with further information when it becomes available.
