Both the driver and the passenger windows fell off the tracks, so I had a friend pry them up and he got the windows to stay up, but you could not use either window. I did not have the money to get the windows fixed for a while until I was finally able to afford to get the driver's window fixed in May 2008 which cost $385. They replaced the regulator. On 12/4/2008, it happened yet again to the driver's side window and the warranty was only good for 60 days labor/30days parts, so I am yet again not able to use either window. I was told by quite a few people that this is a very common problem and that if I got it fixed yet again, it would probably happen yet again. I did not see this defect listed on the recall list however.

I bought this vehicle new in Florida...from day 1 there has been excessive wind noise coming from the driver side of the vehicle. It sounds like a window is left open. Took to various service dealership to complain of this problem...various things have been done by the service dept., but the problem still persist. Vehicle is now out of manufacture warranty...have contacted manufacture with this problem, but no help offered.
