1 Power Window problem

Failure Date: 10/08/2003

Recall repair work was performed on vehicle, consumer was charged $313. 63 and repairs were half completed. Since it was a recall, the work performed was suppose to be free of charge. The dealer only performed half the work and left a broken part in the door which had to be removed by taking the door apart again. They refused to refund the $313. 63 and repair the passenger side door which was part of the recall. They only fixed the driver door. Consumer would like the monies reimbursed plus an addition $313. 63 for have the repairs completed at another dealer. The consumer also requested a life-time warranty on the work o'brien already did, $50. Per day for the two days the consumer had no vehicle, mailing and copying cost.

Power window regulator is defective. Window can, at any time, fall into door frame. Has not contacted dealer.

When window regulator fails, the window drops in the door. If driving in rain or -20 degrees weather, it becomes a safety hazard. I'd like to see a recall soon on this.
