Power windows will start to have more difficulty working. Then, when trying to use the windows they will make a loud noise and the window will cease to work. The window may even fall into the door and out of reach. The regulator and possibly even the window glass will need to be replaced. This has happened to 2 of my windows in less than a year. It is faulty and dangerous. There needs to be a recall. Visibility · reported at 38,000 miles
