Not sure what to actually call this, or if it's a problem for all. I just got my window tints done, so I wanted to block all passengers from being able to put down their windows.

However, I was never sure if the switch was activated as the light doesn't come on. With some trial and error I was able to figure out when its on/off. Not sure if this is just me, or even if its worth getting fixed. For reference its the bottom button, not sure why but I thought it lit up red when it was on.

 

It appears to have an indicator that would light, just as the others that do. I will check mine the next time I am in it.

 

I have a 2020 G 63. When I push the window lock button, the indicator light turns red. When the indicator is red, the rear seat windows won't operate. The front seat windows continue to work.

 

Same here - when depressed the indicator lights in Red.

 

Ok mine just doesnt work, maybe disconnected when they did the tints? not sure.

 

It is "not uncommon" a in-experienced tint shop - or a experienced tint shop "working fast" will use too much water during the tint install - and your window electrics are protected from outside moisture/water - and tint install can temporarily "zap" the electronics in one of those rear doors.

Wait a couple of days - like 3-4 - then try it again to see if that "wet" rear door has dried out - it might come back like "magic" (I hope)

 

I just had another issue with my G550, didn't want to create another thread, but not sure if anyone has encountered this.

I was going 4-5 mph down a hill, slowing down. The auto start/stop engaged (while I was still moving ) and it seemingly shut the entire car off --all the lights on the dash lit up.

Car was still rolling down the hill, so I hit the push to start (to turn it back on) and it jolted into park (so I guess I just turned it off), I guess totally turning off the car.

I hit the button again and it started right back up. Has anyone encountered the start/stop totally turning off the car or making the dashboard light up

 

I'm sorry that I don't have anything useful to say, but things could always be worse :-J This has been around for decades, but it still makes me laugh!


At a computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated: “If GM had kept up with the technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.”



In response to Bill’s comments, General Motors issued a press release (by Mr. Welch himself) stating:



If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

1. For no reason at all, your car would crash twice a day.



2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you would have to buy a new car.



3. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left-turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, and you would have to reinstall the engine.



4. When your car died on the freeway for no reason, you would just accept this, restart and drive on.



5. Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought ‘Car95’ or ‘CarNT’, and then added more seats.



6. Apple would make a car powered by the sun, reliable, five times as fast, and twice as easy to drive, but would run on only five per cent of the roads.



7. Oil, water temperature and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single ‘general car default’ warning light.



8. New seats would force every-one to have the same size butt.



9. The airbag would say ‘Are you sure?’ before going off.



10. Occasionally, for no reason, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key, and grabbed the radio antenna.



11. GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of road maps from Rand-McNally (a subsidiary of GM), even though they neither need them nor want them. Trying to delete this option would immediately cause the car’s performance to diminish by 50 per cent or more. Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation by the Justice Department.



12. Every time GM introduced a new model, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.



13. You would press the ‘start’ button to shut off the engine.

 

OP, did this ever resolve itself?

I seem to have the same issue....?

 

The light might a $300 upgrade unless you bought the $7,000 deluxe interior package (lol).

 

Its only a month old and I have no kids or rear passengers....so I will let the dealer deal with it.
