WITHOUT WARNING AND FOR NO REASON THE RIGHT SIDE REAR DOOR WINDOW FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THERE WAS A YOUNG CHILD IN THE REAR SEAT AT THE TIME. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS AS IT IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. THIS CAR HAS VERY FEW MILES FOR ITS AGE AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. DRIVER SEAT NO LONGER WILL ADJUST AND IT COST TOO MUCH FOR ME TO HAVE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME.
