This Problem Across All Years
MULTIPLE TIMES, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID WOULD NOT FLOW ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. I WOULD FILL THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID TANK SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH. FINALLY, I NOTICED THAT THE DESIGN OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUIDS TUBING INTO THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WAS FLAWED. THE TUBING IS ROUTED SO THAT IT PASSES THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TANK AND SEATS UP AGAINST THE HOT CAR BATTERY. AT THIS JUNCTURE, THE TUBING APPARENTLY HAD ROTTED AND MELTED, AND IT CREATED A HUGE HOLE IN THE TUBING. I DO NOT KNOW WHY GENERAL MOTORS DECIDED TO PASS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TANK, AND SEAT THIS TUBING UP AGAINST THE BATTERY, AND THEN GO DOWN AGAIN, AND FINALLY FIT INTO THE BOTTOM VALVE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TANK, BUT IT SEEMS POINTLESS AND STUPID AND A DEFINITE DESIGN FLAW!!! NOW, I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS TUBING REPAIRED AND PROBABLY REROUTED THE SIMPLER ROUTE, WHICH WOULD ALLOW IT TO BYPASS THE BATTERY, COMPLETELY, INSTEAD OF PRACTICALLY WRAPPING IT AROUND THE BATTERY!!! *TR

THE WINDOW MOTORS HAVE BURNED OUT ON BOTH OF MY AUTOMATIC WINDOWS AT A LOW MILEAGE. THE PASSENGER SIDE MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 35,000 MILES AND NOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE MUST BE REPLACED AT 60,000. I RARELY USE THE AUTOMATIC WINDOWS, SO I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY HAVE BOTH FAILED. *TR

CHEVROLET CAVALIER, 4D SED....WHICH I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF 1.) RIGHT FRONT WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP HAD TO HAVE RIGHT FRONT DOOR TRIM PANEL, MOVABLE GLASS R & I & REPLACE RIGHT FRONT DOOR POWER GLASS REGULATOR $399.48 (REPAIRED: 05/09/06) THEN 2.) LEFT RIGHT WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP. ASKED SERVICE DEPT IS CHEVROLET AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE INTERNET SHOWING OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEMS - THEY SAY NO! "C/S WINDOW INOP LEFT REAR, 60005 LR POWER WINDOW MOTOR INTERNAL PROBLEM 1.0 REMOVE & REPLACE LR POWER WINDOW MOTOR" $356.95. (REPAIRED: 01/13/07). NOW 3.) (02/12/07) THE FLT WINDOW IS STARTING TO STOP AGAIN, JUST AS THE LAST TWO REPAIRS STARTED....I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM... GO ON LINE SEE OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS YET CHEVROLET SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG.... WHY CAN'T MANUFACTURER'S STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. IF THIS WAS AN ISOLATED PROBLEM, I WOULD UNDERSTAND BUT SOMETHING IS WRONG SO THAT I CAN NOT TAKE THE CHANCE OF ROLLING DOWN MY WINDOW SINCE I CAN NOT AFFORD, AS A SINGLE PARENT WITH A DISABLED CHILD TO REPAIR ANOTHER WINDOW. PLEASE, DO SOMETHING. *JB
