The contact owns a 1999 Volvo S80. When the contact attempted to lower the passenger side window, it suddenly stopped functioning. She pushed the button to raise the window and the glass fell off track, which resulted in the window resting at a slight right angle. The current and failure mileages were 118,000.

The front, passenger window actuator "broke" approximately 1 month ago. I just found out that the front, driver side actuator is now broken. Neither of these windows received excessive use or abuse. It is not acceptable for them to just "break" with normal usage.

Power windows would act sporadically, going up or down whenever the button is used. Some time would partially go up or down their its own. Taken vehicle to dealership twice. The 2nd time the mechanic got inside of vehicle & closed door, air bags deployed. Had no indication of why. Dealership having Volvo representative to check vehicle.
