Passenger side Power window

After purchasing my 2009 traverse, I noticed the passenger side Power window going up slower than the other windows, also making a groaning sound as if it might not make it all the way closed. I took it to dealer and they said it was the power regulator and that they would order one. When it came in, I had the regulator rplaced. This did not help the problem. I went back and this time they said that the window was out of alignment and they aligned and lubed it. This still did not help they problem so I took it back again. this time, they said that it was normal for the window to operate slower and make a moaning noise. I still have the problem and will let my lawyer solve the problem.

I have only driven German cars for the last 25 years - lifestyle change took me to a top of the line Tahoe 3 years ago and while it was a good car, it was too 'trucky' - so was heading back to Deutschland. Until our Chevy sales guy enticed me to drive the Traverse. A month later, I am in love. Have put 2,000 miles on it with no problems. It holds a large amount of stuff as well as 4 humans. It handles well, is comfortable and we are getting 18 mpg in town and the promised 24 on the road. GM has a chance if this is a sample of their future.

Car has plenty of interior room, looks great, excellent quality. Drives tight, stops quickly. I would recommend this to anyone wanting seating for 5 plus and wanting a good driving, cool looking and great on gas mileage this is the car for you.

Unreliable

Ran great for 1500 miles and then the check engine light came on, 2 days in the shop for repairs. A month later the Traverse starts to jerk when accelerating causing transmission to fail, 4 days in the shop. Got it back and it ran great for 6 month it starts again. Trade for Lexus RX450h

Just picked this car up yesterday and am not so happy today -- why doesn't steering wheel tilt? is this feature a thing of the past---too bad if it is. Also, I am 5,3" and the head rest makes me lean forward - I had a stiff neck after my ride home -- I cannot sit back because the head rest forces me to lean forward with head down -- can't rest my back/ shoulders on the seat -- is there something wrong with the head rest or me? I want to cry - it was so uncomfortable ---anyone else have this problem?
