Drivers window fell to the bottom of the door while the local dealership had the car changing oil, filter, etc. They will not fix it even though inspection of the failed part clearly indicates inadequate design......plastic clips failed releasing the channel guides and allowing the window glass to fall to the bottom of the door.

The windshield wipers were intermittent. The dealer stated the wipers were incompatible. The wipers did not work in cold weather and did not have the proper speed in warm weather. The driver side window had fallen down into the door, the locking mechanism had malfunctioned and was replaced, the metal triangle pieces on the doors had been replaced, the cruise control never worked from purchase, and the front brakes had to be replaced. The consumer would like to know if there was a recall on the wipers. (no recall for wipers) mr scc
