THE POWER WINDOWS IN THE FRONT ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES GO OFF TRACK AND WILL NOT COME DOWN. MY DEALER SAID THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON THE 1999 CAMRYS BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. THIS IS DANGEROUS IN THE NORTH EAST IN BAD WEATHER. IT ALSO MAKES US VULNERABLE TO A CAR JACKING OR THEFT. MY DEALER SAID HE FIXED BUT WINDOWS BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. WHY DOESN'T THE GOVERNMENT ORDER A RECALL. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER MY WARRENTY IS OVER? THERE IS A REAL DESIGN DEFECT WITH THESE CARS, SO WHY ISN'T SOMEONE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? WHAT ABOUT THE HOURS ON END THAT I MUST WASTE WAITING FOR REPAIRS AND THE LOST HOURS OF WORK. WHO IS SUPPOSE TO REIMBURSE ME FOR LOST PAY?*AK
