VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THIS IS APPLICABLE TO BOTH FRONT POWER WINDOWS: POWER WINDOWS FAIL TO OPERATE RANDOMLY, UP OR DOWN. GMC IS RELUNCTANT TO REPLACE THE UNITS UNLESS THEY SEE THE DEFECT OCCUR. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IF THE WINDOW WERE TO FAIL TO CLOSE IN THE RAIN OR SANDY SITUATIONS WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN, DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR OR THEFT. BEING UNABLE TO OPEN A WINDOW COULD BLOCK AND ESCAPE PATH IN AN ACCIDENT. NOT TO MENTION DAILY PROBLEMS, LIKE TOLL BOTHS, DRIVE THRU'S ETC. *AK

WHEN THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATURE FAILED THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELLERATED AT FULL THROTTLE, SYSTEMS BEGAN TO ALARM ONE AT A TIME FIRST THE ABS THEN THE ETS, ECT LOCKING UP THE BRAKES KEPT THE CAR FROM MOVING FOWARD WHEN THE ALTERNATOR FAILED THE ENGIN FINALY STOPPED. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT WHEN THE BATTERY FAILED THE ALTERNATOR WAS UNABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE LOAD AS THE VOLTAGE DROPPED SYSTEMS BEGAIN TO BECOME UNRELIABLE AND EITHER THE COMPUTER OR CRUISE CONTROL CAUSED THE THROTTLE TO ACCELLERATE. A VOLTAGE THRESHOLD LOCKOUT IS NEEDED SO THAT WHEN POWER FALLS BELOW THE LEVEL WHERE A SYSTEM CAN NO LONGER OPERATE SAFELY THE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN.*AK
