Description of the problem | Three out of four windows have stopped working. It started with the rear passenger window about 6 months ago, then the rear driver 3 months ago, and now the front passenger about a month ago. Did some research to find it's a pretty common problem on kia's for the regulators to break. I didn't have the money at the time to fix the first one, was saving up and then second one stopped working. Definitely didn't have money for two, when third quit. Now just waiting for the last one to keel over. I don't know the exact problem, but i don't have money to fix all four windows at one time on a car that's only four years old. |
