BOTH OF MY WINDOWS WHICH SLIDE DOWN WITH THE PUSH OF A BUTTON DO NOT WORK! THEY HAVE BOTH BUSTED. ONE IS STUCK DOWN. THE OTHER I HAVE TO SHOVE UP BECAUSE WHILE DRIVING FROM THE VIBRATIONS IT FALLS. VERY UNSAFE. THEY BOTH STOPPED WORK WHILE I WAS OPERATING THEM BY PUSHING THE BUTTON FOR THEM TO SLIDE DOWN. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THEM YET. ITS VERY COSTLY. ITS HARD TO BELIEVE NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE. I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS. *TR
