2005 Chevrolet Cavalier/power windows malfunction....owned for 4 months, let the window down one day at a drive-thru restaurant as usual and the window just stopped and never started again...still to this day it is still stuck in the down position..so now everywhere my family and I go we're at risk of our being burglarized because the car's interior is easily accessible..the window was an issue when I first purchased the used car thru cars and trucks in morrow, ga and they agreed to fix it and never did..so called Chevrolet and was told that can be repaired for $120..which I don't have..it's just ridiculous..riding on the expressway and weather conditions both pose safety problems to my family and I..this car needs to be recalled, it's just got too many problems that seem to me as a consumer to be safety violations that are just being swept under the rug..
