I have a 1998 GMC Jimmy. The control panel located on the driver's door constantly fails, so that I am unable to operate the window. The entire unit has been replaced and the same problem is occurring, after only a month. I cannot keep replacing the unit at a cost of $270 each time. The unit will work one day and not the next until finally it fails all together. I would like any information regarding this problem.
