PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. AT ABOUT 40K MILES, THE WINDOW BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS CLOSING COMPLETELY, GETTING OFF TRACK AND LEAVING A SMALL 1/4 INCH GAP NEAR THE TOP. THE WINDOW MUST BE MANUALLY GUIDED BACK ON TRACK WHILE APPROXIMATELY HALFWAY UP IN ORDER TO CLOSE COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO A DEALERSHIP TWICE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. THE FIRST TIME THE TRACK WAS LUBRICATED, WHICH HELPED BUT DIDN'T COMPLETELY SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO MAKE ANY FURTHER REPAIRS.*AK
