    Window fell down (from a fully up position) into driver-side door while in heavy traffic. Sound resembled a gun-shot which distracted my attention from the road and nearly caused an accident. Research shows this to be a common failure in southern and western states due to heat-related component failures. Repairs have not been made at this time due to high cost of parts and labor. Vehicle only has 36k miles and has…

    The left front power window regulator broke allowing the window to fall into the door with no possibility of raising it back to a secure position. There was no advance warning, just a loud pop before the window descended out of sight. Fortunately for me it was clear and hot (100 degrees) so i didn't have to contend with stormy weather. This is one of those items on a motor vehicle that should be very dependable, if…
