Battery draining issue after window messed up on Chevy Sonic.
 
I have a 2013 Sonic, about two months ago we rolled the windows down, and when we went to told them up the battery was dead. Charged the battery and went to roll up the left rear window and it wouldn't move, and manually got it up. Replaced the motor and it still doesn't work. They battery is still being drained. Three days ago the battery was charged to a full charge, and the next morning it was already drained, but still cranked, air getting really low and not blowing, and all of a sudden it stopped running and everything went out. We had our toddler with us, and we in a middle of a semi blind turn. Was able to get it to turn over and start and moved before we got hit. Is there a recall or is there something that can be done? This is a major safety issue and could even be life threatening if it happened at the wrong time. My child's safety is uttmost important.

You better get the alternator tested.

You also didn't mention the condition of the battery. Have them both tested.
