JULY OF 2005 LEFT FRONT WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED. REPLACED WINDOW REGULATOR. NOVEMBER 2005 LEFT WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED. DECEMBER 2005 RIGHT WINDOW FELL DOWN WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE REGULATOR FAILURE. CAR HAS AIR CONDITIONING AND WINDOWS ARE NOT USED MUCH. REAR WINDOW SWITCHES ARE LOCKED OUT FROM DRIVERS CONTROL BECAUSE OF A CHILD IN BACK SEAT. REASON FOR NOT BEING USED MUCH. I ONLY HAVE FIXED THE DRIVERS WINDOW BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE AND NEED TO PAY TOLLS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM ABOUT COVERING THE PARTS AND I WILL PERFORM THE INSTALL. THEY REFUSED BECAUSE OF THE 100K MILES. THIS CAR IS A 2000 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE. *JB

THERE ARE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURES. THREE WINDOWS IN THIS VEHICLE ARE INOPERABLE BECAUSE THE MOTOR QUIT. INITIALLY, THE WINDOW WILL EITHER NOT GO UP OR DOWN AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL WORK. ONE WINDOW HAS HAD THE WIRING CLIPPED BECAUSE I COULDN'T AFFORD THE PART. THE OTHER 2 WE JUST DON'T USE. *JB

I PURCHASED A GM CERTIFIED 2000 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE IN MAY 2002. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 3 WINDOW REGULATORS IN THE VEHICLE, ONE FOR THE DRIVERS DOOR AND ONE EACH FOR THE BACK DOORS.

I PURCHASED A GM CERTIFIED 2000 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE IN MAY 2002. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 3 WINDOW REGULATORS IN THE VEHICLE, ONE FOR THE DRIVERS DOOR AND ONE EACH FOR THE BACK DOORS. THIS SEEMS TO BE QUITE EXCESSIVE FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD & HAS LESS THAN 80K MILES ON IT. FURTHER, I HAVE A SMALL CHILD SO I CAN COUNT ON ONE HAND THE NUMBER OF TIMES THAT I HAVE LOWERED THE REAR WINDOWS. I AM CONFIDENT THAT THIS IS NOT A WEAR-AND-TEAR ISSUE, SINCE I HAVE REPLACED BOTH REGULATORS WITH GM PARTS AND AS I STATED SELDOM ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN. I HAVE NOTED AN APPROXIMATE DATE FOR THE FIRST INCIDENT BELOW. THE MOST RECENT REPLACEMENT WAS IN AUGUST 2005.*JB

SHE CALLED THE GM DEALER, BRAD FENTON MOTORS IN ARDMORE, OK AND WAS TOLD THAT THE "OWNERS MANUAL" TOLD YOU WHAT TO DO IF THIS HAPPENED. CAN YOU IMAGINE TRYING TO LOOK THIS UP IN THE "OWNER'S MANUAL" WHEN YOU WERE 6 FT. UNDER WATER OR YOU WERE TRAPPED INSIDE ON A 100 DEGREE DAY, ESPECIALLY WITH A CHILD? I THINK THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND I WANT SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *JB
