I seriously doubt that this would be considered a safety issue. The windows of a DeLorean cannot open without breaking the glass. (Not the safest car on the road but it does make my point.) Now depending on the age, mileage and warranty of the vehicle the manufacturer may still be obligated to fix this.

Hi have not worked on this vehicle for long but you can check the power supply to the window motor winder or if motor is faulty you can change or even replace cable .also you can check the sort out.

thanks

it is a safety issue and need to be solved ASAP. because in emergency or accidents windows are a great help to rescue.

if your car has a warranty then it will be fixed without any inconvienance.

if no, then insurrance company is the other option .

if you dont want to utilize your policy for such a small fault then help yourself by locating the window fuse box in the dashboard and follow the steps. that will help.

If under warranty, yes.

If not under warranty, or the subject of a recall or service bulletin, no, probably not

Window won't go down is not quite as bad as window won't go back up.

Can you hear the motor running when the selector/actuator is pressed?

Agree with #1 and #2 ↑

No and No... But hey, why aren't you in touch with your insurance company instead of CR 4? They make the reality.

Vehicle Window Won't Go Down

I had a girlfriend like that once.

driver or passenger side? do you still give hand signals as your vehicle as no indicators?

AS for escape route if the vehicle turn over, the chances are the window(s) will shatter once the vehicle has landed on its roof... problem solved!!

If not working and you are still covered by the vendor for , breakdown, failures, parts etc.. take it back , jump up and down in the showroom, throw your rattle out of the pram and generally be a pain in the butt.. until someone fixes it!! I did it.. works a treat!!

In Virginia, if is is supposed to go down and it doesn't, it won't pass a proper safety inspection. It probably is a safety issue under certain circumstances. From my own experience, cops don't like it so much when they pull you over and you open the door to talk to them.

Maintaining Safety Equipment after the warranty period is the owner's responsibility. Brakes, tires, vehicle lights, horn, seat belts, air bags, etc. are all safety equipment items that have a limited warranty.

If the ability for a window to go down was a really big safety concern, there would be a manual override. After all, in vehicle accidents which damage the battery, the electrical system is lost and the windows cannot go down, doors cannot be automatically unlocked, etc.

After an accident, the jaws of life and other emergency tools will quickly open a window or door. Getting a window to open and close at a marginal expense is the goal here.

I would imagine it depends on how old the car is as to who fixes it.

Bet the original brochure didn't use this as a selling feature, "Two days after the warranty expires" etc.

I bought a used VW Polo where my window would not open; On taking the door card off I saw that the previous owner had removed the motor and ALL the, what we in the UK call the "gubbins"all that was left was the window jammed closed with a piece of timber. It was trying to take the ticket from a parking garage when it really made itself a pain.

Best of luck with it.

ps, first post so please be gentle.

What a great set of tips.

Thank you

Thanks for all the help. I'm in a position where I can't afford to take it to a garage. Right now, it' just an inconvenience, but I can see where it would be a safety issue, like sinking in water and can't open the door or window.
