Passenger window regulator failed and was replaced. |
| 117180 mi | The blend doors won't open on the driver's side, meaning that all winter I get cold air blowing on me and the only way to keep the cabin warm is to blast the heat out of the passenger's side. Online reading suggests a 100% failure rate! |

Right rear window regulator failed |

Right front door lock functioned intermittently. Open circuit traced to "pinched" wire in door hinge area. Wire replaced. |
