Right front window dropped/broke down causing a $500 repair. Three months latter the left rear window also broke causing another $500 repair. Now, in 2014 the right rear window has broken, while driving on the freeway, startling my wife and grandchild with another very loud bang! This is a continuing problem on a car that only has 48,500 miles on it, and is always parked inside a garage. There are way too many reports of this happening for the feds or gm not to do something about this failure!
All four windows are defective. They fell down one after another starting a year after purchase, and will not say up. This issue is widespread and popular with this model and year vehicle. They made a crackling sound and fell down for no reason of my own. I was quoted a price of $199 to repair each window. It is 2013 and I still haven't repaired any of the windows. This vehicle needs to be recalled to repair this factory defect. This issue is very disconcerting, embarrassing and a nuisance.
My cadillac deville 2004 windows have all been replaced first it was the driver side window fell all the way down could not get to go up then front passenger side made a cracking sound so I put the window down and it sound like it was going to crack then took my car to my mechanic and he says wow I have never seen a good car like cadillac have so many window problems so now that I got these 2 fixed my mechanic says maybe exercise your windows every time you get in car so I did then it was the driver side back that got stuck and then the other went in a couple of weeks all I did was making my window s go up and down I live in the desert on a dirt road so my windows never go down at 250 dollars per window that really needs to be looked into. So now I will never roll my windows down again I have tape over the buttons so that no one will use them.
All the windows have fallen down one time or another in the past 6 months! On june28th 2011 I replaced the front passenger regulator. Just to have it fail again under four months. I only used the window three times! I have read all the complaints from other owners of this year of cadillac power window problems and their should be a recall! This is the worst car I have ever owned. It is a hunk of junk!!! This latest regulator problem happened two hours ago! October 23rd 2011.
