Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Right rear window emitted a loud "pop", and the window went down. wedged the window in the up position as i was on my way to fla from new york. upon my arrival in fla, took it to a dealer and they estimated the repair at $600.00. i refused the repair and dissembled the door and window assembly to find the cable that controls the window to be disconnected due to a flimsy plastic catch that had broken. after several hours i was able to repair the window cable with a metal piece. clearly this is an engineering flaw( i was an automotive engineer for 20 yrs. had cycle and age tests been done properly, this flaw would have been detected, but then, the dealers would be out $600 per window for a .05 cent part. *nm |
