What owners wrote
Consumer stated the defogger lines exploded. As a result, a small fire erupted. No injuries reported....consumer didn't call fire department or report it to police department.
Our drivers side window started making a funny noise and then it fell into the door. We took it in and they said the bracket that holds it onto the motor was broken, and we had to buy a whole new motor. So we replaced it in august 2007. It started giving us problems again in april 2008. The part is now totally broken and we are again replacing the motor and brackets. In the meantime we have had the exact same problem with our passengers side window.
