| 1998 | VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS | I HAVE A 1998 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE AND HAVE HAD 3 OF THE WINDOWS FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR AND STOP WORKING. THIS HAPPENED AT THREE DIFFERENT TIMES WHEN I WAS DOING NOTHING MORE THAN JUST DRIVING ALONG. I FEEL THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY HAZARD HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS OLDSMOBILE DIVISION AND THEY APPARENTLY DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE AN ITEM THAT IS RECALLED. WHEN I WAS IN THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THAT TIME CASUALLY MENTIONED THAT THEY HAVE TO REPAIR ALOT OF THESE ON THIS MODEL, AS WELL AS, THE ALERO. I MIGHT COULD UNDERSTAND IF IT WAS JUST 1 WINDOW. I WOULD PROBABLY THINK THAT IT WAS JUST A FAULTY PART, BUT FOR IT TO HAPPEN TO 3 WINDOWS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! THE GM LADY TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY THING THEY COULD DO WAS TO VISIT WITH ME ABOUT PURCHASING ANOTHER GM VEHICLE. SHE TOLD ME THAT I HAD WAITED TOO LONG TO DO ANY THING ABOUT IT. I HAD BEEN WAITING DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS TOLD THAT IT COSTS SO MUCH AND I COULD NOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I TOLD HER THAT I ABSOLUTELY WOULD NOT EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE IS THAT IS ALL THEY COULD DO TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY NEEDED IT. TO GET THESE WINDOWS FIXED IS INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 2 YEARS SINCE IT HAPPENED AND I WOULD DESPERATELY LIKE TO HAVE THEM FIXED, BUT AFFORDING IT IS OUT OF THE QUESTION. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE. I VERY FREQUENTLY SEE OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO CONSIDER THIS MATTER. *NM |
