Afternoon all,

Has anyone experienced issues with the drivers side window just 'dieing'. All of a sudden the control to wind up and down the window isn't working, it's working fine for the other 3 windows. Can't hear any type of sound so it doesn't appear to be stuck on anything. Will take the car in to the dealer as should be covered by warranty still :(

Yep,

Mine crapped itself. Just like yours, worked ok then ....... nothing. Crook regulator - warranty job.

2007 VRX Platnum

When I had my windscreeen replaced two weeks ago, I tried the driver's window and it didn't work. Drove off after ordering a new regulator, and suddenly 1/2 K down the road it started working again. Since then no probs, but I'm half expecting it to go.
My dealer said they'd just had a rash of 380 regs go in the last month or so.

I'm a bit worried about this suspect door window mechanism, and the vibrating door thing (from other thread)... I don't have either problem as yet, but I guess I should expect either or both sooner or later if everyone else is getting them.
At least its a warranty fix if/when I do get it/them.

hi this is a common thing happening the window regs were made in Korea the new one's we fit are made in the USA
as for a vibration could be a loose bolt causing it

I have noticed mine stops working now and then will take it in for a warranty job when i dies

Have got it booked in for next week, thankfully the window was up when the regulator died :)

I have had both my rear windows done under warranty. No problems at all.
Drivers side went xmas 2007 pass side xmas 2008

no but im my 3rg gen the front passenger's window goes up alot slower than the drivers...lol

Probably the worst part on the car!!!

I have done both the back and the drivers!

the rear right actually just fell down while i was driving scared the poop out of me!

drivers windows on my tj just carked it

any ideas on repair costs ?

ok took mine back to DVG today as the drivers side window wont open and the Rear Left window decided to fall down on me over the weekend and wont go back up

I'm looking at my 3rd winder regulator now. Back driver, back passenger and now back driver again. The regulator just 'lets go' of the glass and can't push the window back up again. Worst part of an otherwise awesome car :-(

same thing happened in my tj. You think they would have learned by the time they started putting 380s together!

Blame can not be entirely put on Mitsubishi. It appears to be a problem with their elected component manufacturer.

It is an interesting fact that the supplier and country of origin has changed for the 380 window lifter / regulator. The old are from the US and I believe the new are from Japan.

I know its not mitsubishi's poor manufacturing, just commenting on the fact that in their last 2 generations of aussie built cars the window regulators have been a bit dodgy. I know theyre made elsewhere but its just weird how both gens have the same issues

oh, and rothguard. Mine happened when the warranty was still on it, so not sure how much repair costs are
