VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH, I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW USING THE POWER WINDOW CONTROLLER AND HEARD A LOUD CRACK. THE WINDOW HAD TWISTED AND WAS OFF IT'S TRACK. THE WINDOW WAS TWISTED SO MUCH THAT THE UNDER LEFT CORNER OF THE WINDOW WAS TOUCHING THE OUTER DOOR SKIN, AND EVERY TIME THE CAR HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE WINDOW WOULD STRIKE THE DOOR. I WAS CONCERNED THAT THE WINDOW WAS GOING TO SHATTER SO I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER ABOUT 3-5 MINUTES OF PUSHING AND PULLING ON THE WINDOW I FINALLY GOT IT BACK IN THE TRACK AND WAS ABLE TO CLOSE THE WINDOW. ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND THAT WINDOW GUIDE ALSO FAILED. I AGAIN HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE THE WINDOW SHATTERED. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR OVER ONE YEAR AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS BEFORE. I CONTACTED A AUTOMOTIVE GLASS REPAIR SHOP AND STARTED TELLING HIM OF THE PROBLEM AND HE STOPPED ME AND SAID "LET ME GUESS YOU HAVE A CHEVY IMPALA OR CAPRICE" AFTER I TOLD HIM THAT YES I DID IN FACT HAVE A CAPRICE HE SAID THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND IT WOULD COST ABOUT $100 PER DOOR TO FIX, BUT IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, THE PART COULD BREAK AT ANY TIME, IT IS A PLASTIC KNUCKLE THAT HOLD THE WINDOW IN PLACE. THE REASON I AM WRITING THIS IS BECAUSE THE SIDE WINDOWS COULD HAVE BROKE AND SENT GLASS FLYING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CAUSE A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. I HAVE BEEN A POLICE OFFICER FOR 6 YEARS AND HAVE DRIVEN CAPRICE'S ON-DUTY AND KNOW THAT A NUMBER OF THESE VEHICLES ARE STILL IN USE AS TAXI CABS AND PATROL CARS IN THE UNTIED STATES AND THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
