Power windows will not operate. This is the forth power window regulator replacement in three separate windows that I have had to have fixed. Two of these regulators broke in one weekend. I believe general motors is aware of a problem with the number of complaints and with the service bulletin 9908110008 issued on sep. 1,1999 stating that the upper reg. Attaching bolt may be too far foward and needs bolt hole elongated so window glass does not bind when rolling up window. This failure record is costing me and other consumers costly.
The vehicles power window motors failed. This resulted in the passenger side front and rear windows sticking in the half way down position. The motor was replaced but the problem recurred. *nlm all four windows has had replacement motors. The front passenger window has been replaced twice. There is no warning before failure. The motors were gm parts, also the replacement motors. Scc
The windshield wipers were inoperative.

Consumer is having problems with the electric windows. The rear driver side window was down a crack so consumer attempted to raise it. It wouldn't so consumer started to lower it and it dropped half way and would not go up or down. Teh entire mechanism had to be replaced. A week after the first repair, consumer was in motion when the rear passenger side window dropped halfway with no action on the driver or passengers part. Several weeks after having the rear passenger window repaired, consumer attempted to lower the front drivers window. The window would not move at all.

Consumer states that while driving at highway speed in a down poor of rain, the drivers side wiper quit, twenty minutes later the passenger side wiper stopped. Consumer states he was almost killed, could not see. Took to buick, buick stated that bolts that hold windshield wiper arms came loose. Consumer states there is no information in owner's manual that states you should make sure the two bolts are tight periodically. *ts
Consumer stated while driving with the windshield wipers in use, they all of a sudden sped up suddenly to maximum speed, however they did not clear enough water away, after running at high speed for about 10 seconds, the drivers side wiper arm moved up and became tangled with the other arm near the middle, in which both arms were then inoperative, the drivers side arm was loose and it could move easily up and down the windshield, after the repair was made consumer found the nut which holds the drivers side wiper arm to the drive shaft had nothing to lock it in place, consumer believes that the nut could become loose again, which would cause the wiper arm to be inoperative.
Right front passenger's side window stopped operating, will not open or close. Dealer notified, and replaced cable and power regulator. Feel free to provide any further infromnation.
Could not close right rear window. Dealer notified, and replaced power regulator. Feel free to provide any further information.
Drivers side window will become inoperable, power locks worked fine. Contacted dealer, and dealer was not willing to do anything.*ak consumer stated dealer did replace window, however it failed again.
Safety belt on driver side sometimes fails to latch because the latch mechanism fails to return to its proper location inside the latch housing. I have to press and hold the latch and then use a butter knife to pop the latch back out so that it will latch properly. The driver's side rear power window just started sliding down the track one day and now will not go up or down using the switch. I've had to slide it up into place and the tape it shut with package sealing tape. The front driver side power window sometimes fails to go up or down when I press the window down button. Then later it will respond appropriately. Johnson motors replaced the passenger side front window motor last year when I took the car in to have it serviced and have some scratches buffed out that had been there when I originally purchased the vehicle. The windows are a very real problem but the seat belt latch failure is a real life-threatening situation.

While driving in the rain the windshield wipers make windows smear and look like the have oil on them, affecting consumer's ability to see.

At the first filling of gas tank, fuel came out of bad gasket and spilled fuel causing wicked bad fuel smell through out interior of car. Heater has never operated properly. The only way that you can be comfortable in cold weather is to operate manually. The alternator has always had a very noticeable and annoying hum at slow speeds. The alternator has been replaced twice, with no improvements in the noises. Power assist failed and as a result I lost all braking and a strong odor developed inside the car. This is ok now and along with the gas tank is the only things that have been repaired.
Driver unable to sound the horn due to location of the horn and hard to depress it. Yh
