My 1999 isuzu vehicross has faulty window regulators and tracks. The problem is getting worse. The power motors strain to position the windows in their "closed" location. I now have to take my hand off the steering wheel to assist the motors in getting the windows up. In my opinion the faulty power window hardware and design makes for a hazardous situation while driving. I know of several others who own this make and model and have had the same problems but on a more severe scale requiring multiple repairs costing 100's of dollars each time.

What owners say
I own a 2001 isuzu vehicross and would like isuzu to own up to a design flaw. I have had this fixed 3 times while under warranty and the problem comes right back soon after they replace the "window regulator". At the moment both of my windows are unable to roll up without my assistance. This is a major problem in the cold of alaska as if I need to roll my passenger window down I need to lean into the passenger seat in order to roll it up and I find myself doing this at unwanted/unsafe times due to the cold. Also if a friend is in the car they tend to smash their fingers in the window when pulling it up. I am sick of isuzu saying there is nothing wrong with it.... It is obviously a design flaw as every vehicross I have ever seen has had the same problem!!!!!!!!! And as for the incident date this has happened five times (since date I said was the incident) so there is not just a single incident.
The left and right side windows failed to roll up and down on their own. The driver noticed that both windows fell off track, and the driver tried to pull up the windows but failed to do so. The consumer drove the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and the mechanic determined that the window needed replacement. *ak the seat belt did not retract and the chrome wheels were peeling and were replaced. *sc
Both drive and passenger windows will not operate propperly, becoming jammed on the track when going up to close. This is a problem that has always been associated with my truck, since I bought it with 32000 miles and now have 77000 two years later. Isuzu will not acknowledge the problem or take responsibility. The window will fail with every use. And is a comon uccorence in many other vehicrosses.
1. Normal usage of electric window opening system on vehicle; 2. Fails to go up properly, jams after going partially up every time without physical assistance; 3. Pushes on window lightly while attempting to raise it up may or may not allow it to close properly. Lubricate tracks in window as a temporary fix. Without these measures, the motor or regulator would burn up, and the window would not go up or down. Without them the window will not roll up properly anytime.
Windows failed to go up smoothly. They would bind, causing windows to appear off track and stop while the window motor continued to try to run. This happened on both sides of the vehicle. Under warranty, the problem was fixed, and several months later, the problem has returned. Now, the dealership is charging me for the second repair of both windows.
Passenger's window will not roll down . Driver's side window off track will not roll up properly without help (rolls up at a bad angle).
Power window motor failure due window track misalingment on both the driver and passenger sides. Passenger side replaced in june of 2004 under warranty but is failing again.
Due to a design flaw the power windows tilt forward and slip out of the track when going up which causes them to bind which can cause the window motor to burn out and have to be replaced. I end up assisting the window up with my other hand so this doesn't happen to me.
The driver and passenger side window fell off of the track. And will go up and down intermittenly please furnish additional information. Dealer is aware of the problem. Mr
