problem #1

Apr 112005

Sunfire 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,600 miles
As of 2 days ago(4-11-05) someone came to look at my car, for possible purchase, and took it for a test drive, upon returning she said she couldn't get the drivers window to roll up. Having power windows, I checked the fuse, the passenger window goes up and down just fine, but the drivers side rolls up in spurts, I hit the button, it acts like it's going up just fine, and just stops. I talked to another owner of a Sunfire, and he said that he knew of a big complaint about the power window pulling too much power and basically wearing the motor out. That was the first incident I have noticed. I went ahead and changed the fuse just in case and checked the wiring for any surges, noticed nothing further, but still have problem w/window.
