| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The switches that control both the driver's and passenger's side windows have broken. the first time they broke, i took the car to the dealer and had the switch replaced under warranty. the switches soon broke for the second time within a year of purchase, but since i have a long commute to work i was outside of the 24,000 mile warranty. i have not had the switches replaced a second time, but have come to accept this inconvenience. however, after reading some other similar complaints on this website, i wanted to offer further evidence that there may be a problem with these window switches. |
