VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE LEFT FRONT POWER WINDOW HAS FAILED 4 TIMES, THE RIGHT FRONT WINDOW HAS FAILED 2 TIMES AND EACH OF THE BACK WINDOWS HAVE FAILED ONCE. THE FIRST TIME THE WINDOW FAILED WAS 3 MONTHS AFTER VEHICLE PURCHASE. SINCE THEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR WINDOW REPAIR AT 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, 14 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE AND NOW WITH THE LATEST TRIP 22 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. AT THE LAST VISIT THE DEALER REQUIRED US TO PAY $175 FOR THE REPAIR OF ALL FOUR WINDOWS. ALTHOUGH OUR VEHICLE IS OVER ITS MILAGE FOR WARRANTY I BELIEVE IN A CASE SUCH AS THIS WHERE THERE IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH A PARTICULAR PART WE SHOULD HAVE HAD THIS REPAIR DONE FREE OF CHARGE REGARDLESS OF WARRANTY. IN YOUR OPINION, DO I HAVE ANY GROUNDS FOR THIS COMPLAINT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. ANGELA PRUITT.*AK
