1996 Honda Odyssey

DRIVER'S POWER LOCK WAS CYCLING. DRIVER'S POWER WINDOW MADE A METALLIC SPRING-LIKE SOUND WHEN CLOSING. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED "POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WAS BAD, REPLACED IT." "WINDOW REGULATOR & MOTOR WERE BAD, REPLACED THEM." POWER WINDOW WORKED NORMALLY WHEN DELIVERED TO DEALERS SERVICE, JUST MADE A NOISE. WHEN HE CALLED ME, MECHANIC SAID WINDOW WAS NOT WORKING AT ALL. AFTER MUCH ARGUMENT, DEALER AGREED TO A "50% GOODWILL" SPLIT OF CHARGES DUE TO AGE/MILEAGE. MY SHARE OF REPAIR COST WAS $320.49. *NM
