The driver and passenger window motors on my buick rendezvous (2003) have both stopped working. I understand that there are several parts that are made of cheap plastic and to repair will cost over $500 per window.

What owners say
Plastic window clips broke on all 4 windows. Windows will not go up. Dealer wants $500.00 each window to fix that's 2,000.00 .debris flew in window on freeway hit eyebrow and glasses resulting in cut and blood into eye.
Buick rendevous. 1st was a 2002 cxl - problems: rear differential slipped, passenger side window regulator broke, AC condenser broken, rear view mirror fell off, back up sensors shut down vehicle - because of this fried entire electrical system, brakes and rotors replaced at 30k. 2nd is a 2003 cxl - problems - rear differential slipping, passenger side window regulator broken, driver 1 & 2 memory broken, engine running hot because of leak in radiator - again 30k
Within the last seven months we have had to replace the window motor on the drivers sie,blower motor, load leveler. Now the power steering is going and the 02 sensor has to be replaced.
Front and rear windows fail to properly move or up down. One window falls while driving. Issue is identified as broken window regulators. Problem apparently widespread as parts are hard to find (out of stock). Unable to leave vehicle in public areas as you can't keep the windows closed.
Transmission failure- replaced 12/04, wheel hub bearing failure-replaced 06/05, heating/AC problems since new 09/03, brake problems since new, window regulators replaced 2x's, hatch latch failure-multiple, parking brake failure 07/04-present, overheating 07/04-present
