The drivers side power window control is shorting out. The front passenger window would not go up all the way about a week ago it was manually fixed by my husband but the controller on driver's side was shorting out. There was a recall on certain CRV's but we never got one and now our car is acting up just like the recall. When I called both the local Honda dealership that we got the vehicle from and called directly to Honda I was told that my vehicle didn't qualify since it was not recalled. I feel that since my car is doing what the recall said, it should be part of the recall repair since this is now a safety issue. Could you please let me know how best to handle my car situation. I have been a loyal Honda owner for years and really love my CRV. I plan on sticking with Honda because we have always been very satisfied. Look forward to hearing back from someone on this matter.
