Window rolled down, but never went back up. Happened on multiple windows of my vehicle. Has been a common problem among these cars, caused me to fail inspection.

My daughter got into an accident where the front fender and bumper hit the side section of another car going approx 20 MPH on a city street and the air bags never deployed. Luckily no one was hurt.

Complaints are owners' own reports to NHTSA; NHTSA has not confirmed them. Many complaints about one part can lead to an investigation or a recall. Read them on NHTSA.
