Has anyone had any problems with the windows going up and down uncontrollably? I have a 2009 Z06 and when my wife got out of the car and closed the door, instead of the window going up and sealing the compartment, it went up and down continuously. I then used my door switch to put the window down a bit. When I attempted to put the window back up, it stayed down and wouldn't budge. Anyone out there have a similar problem?

It's a fairly common problem. Take it to your dealer who has the service bulletin. Requires a new switch in the door. It is covered under warranty.

Peace, out.

Yes. There may be corrosion in the exterior door switch. This can produce an erratic signal to the the RCDLR module.

A little off topic, but when I was seven years old, a neighbor several houses down bought a new bright red 1949 Oldsmobile convertible. I went down to check out the car and give my expert opinion on his purchase and he was showing me all the features, with the power windows blowing me away. I had never heard of such a thing. A couple of days later, he came out(the car was inhis driveway) and his windows were going up and down, up and down.... When he walked up the the car he saw what the problem was..... I was sitting in the drivers seat working all his windows(the pushbuttons were not wired through the ignition switch).
