Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: (1) i purchased my vehicle (2003 chevrolet trailblazer 4wd) in may of 2003. i have taken my car to be fixed on a couple of occasions. namely recalls. around august of 2005, my rear driver side window ceased functioning. the rear windows of my car have been the least used and for the forementioned window to cease functioning seamed odd. (2) because of the failure of the rear driver side window, i have to prop the window in place to prevent rain from coming in and ruining my vehicle interior. (3) nothing has been done to correct this failure. i have taken my car by the local chevrolet dealership, but they wish to charge my around $250 to fix the problem. i am capable of fixing the problem myself for just under $100. vehicle is no longer covered under warranty because at the time (which was under the 3 year warranty date) i had exceeded the 36,000 mile mark by about 4-5k miles. as a side note, i have spoken with a couple of other trailblazer owners and others have had this same problem. if you are not familiar with the window regulator, its design allows for the pulley chords that connect to the top and bottom of the window to get caught with in the regulator. when this happens, too much stress and strain is put on the plastic regulator and a break will occur. *nm
