| In october 2010, i backed out of my driveway and heard a loud noise (i was worried i had hit something). i looked around and noticed that the passenger side rear window was down and i did not put it down. when i tried to put it back up, it didn't move. i contacted my local mitsubishi dealer and they advised that the window regulator needed to be replaced. luckily, i was still under warranty. now, less than a year later, i was driving down a busy highway, and heard that same loud noise. once again, i thought i had hit something or something had hit me. i pulled off to the side of the road to discover that my driver side rear window was down. i visited my local mitsubishi dealer and was told that the window regulator needed to be replaced. however, i am now out of warranty and am being told it will be $250 (before taxes and fees) to have this part replaced. i do understand that parts wear out and need replacing but i find it funny that both sides went out within one year of each other. i also don't think it's safe to have my children in the back where the windows seem to fall down at any given moment. i would like to know if anyone else is having this problem and to find out if there is any recall in the works. thank you. | |||
