Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Rear window regulators fail in window closed position. both rear windows have failed once in up position even though they got very little use. the rh rear failed in up position after about two dozen cycles over a few year period. the replacement cost is $225.00. and the dealer will not replace them under warranty due to milage, even though the rear seat is almost never occupied. i currently block the failed windows in open position since they fail so fast. it has been pointed out to me that this is a safety hazard in case the rear seat window was needed for egress. there is no aftermarket unit available and the oem part is plastic junk that only lasts a few cycles to failure. the dealer says this is not a hazard since the windows will probably not work in an accident since they are powered off the battery. my position is that the windows need to work as designed and a manufacturing design deficiency should not be cause for an occupant to be trapped in a the car. *ak
