Pontiac Vibe Visibility Power Window Devices And Controls Safety Report | May 19, 2006
Reported on May 19, 2006
| WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY CAR I NOTICED THAT MY PASSENGER WINDOW WAS LOOSE. WHEN I ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN IT WOULD SHAKE. WHEN I WAS GOING TO SHUT THE PASSENGER DOOR I HAD TO MAKE SURE THE WINDOW WAS UP SO THAT IT WOULDN'T BREAK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT FIXED. NOW RECENTLY I HEARD A SMALL NOISE IN THE DRIVER WINDOW WHEN I ROLL THE WINDOW UP AND DOWN. NOT POPPING, BUT MAYBE LIKE A SHIFTING OR LIKE IT WAS GOING TO POP. SURE ENOUGH MY WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. I WAS GETTING OUT AND ROLLED UP THE WINDOW WHEN I NOTICED THE WINDOW SOUNDED FUNNY. NOT LONG LATER WHEN I RETURNED TO MY CAR WAS WHEN I NOTICED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I TOOK MY CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THE WINDOW FIXED 2 TIMES. THE WINDOW KEPT FALLING OUT OF TRACK. FINALLY THEY FIGURED THAT THERE MUST BE MORE GOING ON WITH THE WINDOW. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REGULATOR WAS BENT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN OR THE WINDOW TO SHATTER, BUT I KNOW THAT AS LONG AS I HAVE HAD THE CAR THERE HAS NOT BEEN WEAR AND TEAR ON THE WINDOWS. I LIVE IN TEXAS AND USE THE AIR CONDITION 98% OF THE TIME. *JB | |
