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.

Windshield wipers work and go through their cycles but do not park and instead stick straight up. This is a visibility hazard and well known by the dealership mechanics in this model century, yet as far as I know, there is no safety recall. I do not feel that I should have to pay for this repair.

Tl*- the contact owns a 2000 buick century custom and complained about the following problems: the lower intake manifold gasket, the thermostat, and water pump. These components had to be replaced because the vehicle was overheating. The rear brake shoes and a leaking cylinder also had to be replaced. The rear drums, and the switch on the driver's side for the power windows where replaced due to possible fire concerns. In addition, the right outer tie rod end on the passenger's side wheel was loose and had to be repaired. Since the vehicle was inherited in 2003 all the aforementioned failures had to be replaced or repaired starting in 2005. The contact spoke with the manufacturer, and they stated they would not reimburse the contact because there was no relationship established with the dealer since the vehicle was purchased. The current mileage was 74,442, and the failure mileage was 64,218.*ak the consumer has provided invoices of services and checked with gm to see if there was a recall on the gasket manifold, however she was informed no recall was issued for that part.

Each of the automatic window "motors" has failed (all 4 windows) to the tune of $500 for each repair. Single female driving around a large city w/the window(s) down is a safety issue!!

Automatic windows. Several months ago the driver window quit working on my 2000 buick century. I had it replaced at a cost of around $400. Within the last 45 days the two back windows and as of this weekend the front passenger window are not working. They slid down in the track and the buttons don't work. Also within the last 45 days my husband 2001 malibu had a back window go out. It too slid down and the button doesn't bring it back up. That is a total of five windows not working. At that costs it is cheaper to tape them up than to take out a second mortgage to fix it. Is there a recall on the motor and regulator assembly for these windows?
