Pontiac Vibe Visibility Power Window Devices And Controls Safety Report | Aug 15, 2007
Reported on Aug 15, 2007
| I OWN A 2004 PONTIAC VIBE. LAST SUMMER IT BEGAN TO POP/CLICK WHEN ROLLING IT UP OR DOWN. IT SHATTERED IN MY LAP AND I DID RECEIVE MINOR CUTS WHEN ROLLING IT UP DURING A RAIN STORM. I THOUGHT THAT SOMEONE HAD ACTUALLY SHOT AT ME BECAUSE IT WAS SUDDEN AND SHATTERED COMPLETELY. AT THAT TIME, I HAD A GLASS SPECIALIST COME TO FIX IT AND WAS TOLD BY THE MAN THAT IT IS COMMON IN VIBES AND THAT HE HAD REPLACED MANY OF THEM. I JUST HAPPENED TO BE IN MY DRIVE WHEN IT SHATTERED BUT IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING, I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN ME CRASHING. I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND HAD IT FIXED JUST THIS PAST SEPTEMBER. NOW, THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SIMPLY FELL DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. I HAVE PAID OVER $380 ON THIS WINDOW AND IT STILL IS NOT FIXED. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO A FAULTY WINDOW REGULATOR. MY WINDOW IS STILL NOT FIXED, A FRIEND WEDGED IT UP UNTIL I CAN GET THIS RESOLVED. I FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I SAID IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING, I FEEL THAT IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH. I DID RECEIVE MINOR CUTS JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVE. GLASS WAS ALL OVER ME AS WELL AS MY DRIVE WAY. IT SHOT AT LEAST 20 FEET AWAY. *TR | |
