I have had to replace three different window regulators and now I am replacing the fouth one. The driver's window regulator has been replaced twice and now I am having to replace the window switch. Very costly. I also saw a buick like mine and they had three windows closed with wood shims. This has to be a known problem with these regulators. Who do I speak to about this?

I have a 2000 buick century limited and the transmission harsh shift 1234, when hot and sometimes cold, I know that it needs a new 1234 up shift solenoid and to be inspected for failed parts etc, also the odometer,fuel gauge,and window regulators/motors have failed, the odometer is out and fuel gauge floats and windows have failed due to bad design of motors/regulators and my airbag light is on and each 4t65- e trans and many buick trans like the one above has harsh shift and could cause damage and cause trans to fail. And the problems above will be found in many buick century and gm should fix the issues above for free it is a danger for the trans to fail and odometer/gear shift select to fail because most people will not know what gear they are in, and the trans could lock and cause a wreck or a huge injury or worst. And the trans 1234 up shift pressure control solenoid not keeping the right pressure could damage the trans, and even if the trans is bought used it still has this problem and is the same 4t65-e trans and gm needs to fix this for free there are many complaints and issue with the 2000 buick century,regals etc with this type of trans. And should be fixed right away before it becomes a costly repair or wreck! And the trans should be checked for any other failures. For free.

2000 buick century, power windows fell down.1st one, and could not get it back up. Next day another fell down when I wasn't in car. Took to dealer and they said a 3rd fell down by it's self. They charged me over $1,300.00,saying each window broke for no reason. A month later,the last window,which had no problem would not go down and still doesn't. No way did 4 windows break all at once.I think whatever controls the windows broke and they didn't fix it and cheated me. Now I have the window on driver's side that will not go down. That makes all 4 power windows broken,one still unfixed.

In addition, all four window motors have been replaced, and the front window motors were replaced twice. Currently, the rear passenger window is rolled down and will not roll back up.
