| 2003 | VISIBILITY | THERE WAS A RECALL TO REPLACE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE FRONT WINDOWS ONTO THE DOOR WINDOW REGULATOR OF THE 2003 PONTIAC VIBE. I HAD THE BOLTS REPLACED AT THE DEALER, SO THE WINDOW WOULD NOT SHATTER WHILE DRIVING OR FALL INTO THE DOOR FRAME. WELL, REPLACING THE BOLTS DOES NOT PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. THE WINDOW STILL FELL INTO THE DOOR FRAME ANYWAY AND CAN SHATTER AT ANYTIME. THE PLASTIC CLIPS THAT THE REPLACEMENT BOLT SCREWS INTO BREAKS EASILY WHICH RESULTS IN EITHER THE WINDOW SHATTERING WHILE DRIVING AND/OR FALLING INTO THE DOOR FRAMES. THEREFORE, THE RECALL DID NOT PREVENT THIS VERY UNSAFE EVENT FROM HAPPENING. PLEASE INSTITUTE A RECALL FOR THE PLASTIC CLIPS ON THE FRONT WINDOWS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM THAT THE INITITAL RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE ADDRESSED, BUT DID NOT. *LN |
