| WHILE ATTEMPTING TO RAISE THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW, THE WINDOW MADE IT'S USUAL POPPING/CLICKING SOUND AND THEN STOPPED. THE WINDOW CONTROL WAS THEN ACTIVATED AGAIN IN AN ATTEMPT TO LOWER AND THEN RAISE THE WINDOW. THERE WAS NO REPONSE AND THEN BAM --THE WINDOW SHATTERED SENDING GLASS FRAGMENTS INTO THE CAR AND OUTSIDE. SOME FRAGMENTS FLEW 8 TO 10 FEET. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AS SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR STANDING CLOSE TO THE PASSENGER WINDOW. THE WINDOW HAS ALWAYS HAD A POPPING OR CLICKING SOUND WHEN RAISING THE WINDOW--THE NOISE WAS ALSO NOTICED ON THREE OTHER PONTIAC VIBES DRIVEN WHEN THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. | |
