Rolled down front passenger window using the driver button and was down for about a minute and then as I tried to bring it back up with the same button the window came up and then slammed down inside the window. The plastic guides broke inside and had to replace. The following week, the rear driver side window did the same thing. Today, my wife got the car washed and the attendant was unable to get the passenger rear window up without using his hands to help pull it back up. I'm hoping I'm not having to replace that one soon. It looks like others have been having the same problem. I believe there should have been a recall on this part! We are on our way to palm springs and I hope this doesn't happen while we are on vacation!!!!

What 2000 Cadillac Deville owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Rear windows fall off the tracks and go inside the door panel.
Window in front door and other doors jump off track and drop down. If hale storm, or heavy rain this could impair drivers ability to operate safely. Cadillac has many complaints due to this after I investigated it. I have 2 doors at present with windows broke. Please advise what I can do and expect gmc to do.
Power windows of cadillac deville spontaneously break, while driving, while sitting, in any types of weather. Cadillac is fully aware of the problem and refuses to fix. Many websites show other consumers with same complaints...such as www.cadillacforums.com . Problem costs over $500 to fix and will break again (it is just a small plastic part). It is now at the point where people are posting "how to's" because it is such a persistent and costly problem. I have had to repair three so far.
Tl*the contact's spouse owns a 2000 cadillac deville. On three separate occasions, the rear passenger, front passenger, and front driver's side windows fell down into the door. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and they replaced the window regulator. The VIN was unknown. The current mileage was 26,000 and failure mileage was 8,000.
All four window regulators went out within one year. The repair costs ranged from $487 to $587 each. I researched the parts but because everything is housed in one part for this model it was impossible to find something affordable. The labor was $75. Any number of consequences could occur from the distraction to the driver when the loud pop occurs, from what might enter through the window while driving, or from an accident that may require exiting the vehicle through a window. Only a fool would replace with an old part since these parts do not last that long and cost so much.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 cadillac deville. When the contact removes his foot from the accelerator pedal, the vehicle continues to accelerate on its own. The failure also occurs when idling at a red light or stop sign. The ABS traction light illuminates. The vehicle has been inspected by a mechanic. In addition, three of the window regulators failed within a week of each other. Currently, all four windows fail to go up and down properly. The current mileage was 88,627 and failure mileage was 70,000. Remailed 11/14/08.
The third window regulator broke in vehicle, second this year.
Power window lift mechanism failed.
Normal use of windows. All 4 window regulators failed. Replaced regulators at $350-450 a piece, old parts were available.
