	Power windows do not operate in sub-freezing temperatures. with no ice or frost on windows they just do not want to move in very cold temperatures, 30 degrees f and below. notified dealer, their response was to reset the window controller which gets the window working until the next sub freezing temperature event. no attempt was made to determine the cause of the failure. because the windows need to move to open the door in this car and a trip to the dealer is required to get the windows working again this could be a potential safety concern.
