2000 Chevrolet Tahoe: power window failure

Filed Jan 28, 2005 · Visibility · 103,000 miles · NY

While lowering driver's power window a snap occured and the window fell to the bottom. I contacted my local repair center. They informed me that it was a dealer only item. That the entire regulator assembly would have to be replaced. I spoke to the dealership and they informed me they had gone through hundreds! I veiwed the broken item and the steel cable seemed to be a design flaw, allowing water to settle at cable entrance. Why replace the entire regulator $235.91?

All of the windows except the driver's window would not roll up or down. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the consumer that the power window motor needed to be replaced.

The two rear power windows on my 2000 chevy tahoe developed internal intermittent shorts at the exact same time. I have also experienced trouble with the two front power windows not working at times. The dealership stated they have seen prior problems with the power windows in the tahoe's. My vehicle only had 23751 miles on it at the time the back window motors were replaced. I was charged over $400.00 for these repairs. It seems to me the problem with the motors is a factory defect and I shouldn't be held liable for the expense of replacement.

My sunroof leaks, my brakes do not work well, my rear windshield wiper went crazy, wouldn't stop ,now is broken; my two back power window motors have stopped. I cannot roll one down, the other one was replaced while under warranty. My parking brake does not work. My 2000 tahoe also leaks underneath the steering column somehow causing my driver's side floorboard to get soaked and there are pieces rusting underneath due to this. My car smells of mildew because of these leaks, my leather seats are ruined and the floor boards are ruined.

Neither one of the electric passenger windows will work. One will work at times and then at other times it will not. The window will not go down or up. This could purpose a problem especially with people with small children. You would have to break a glass to get in the passenger windows if needed. Chevrolet should fix this problem as it is a recurring problem in the tahoe. I would be glad to know they are willing to fix this problem.

The window regulator on the passenger side my 2000 tahoe has broke twice. The regulator's cable rusted out the first time. This second time I've just left it alone. I'm just glad it stay stuck in the closed position. My complaint is that I have to buy the whole unit including the motor with the regulator, and its very expensive. My extended warranty only covers the motor not the window regulator but 9 time out 10 its going to be regulator, what a scam. When the vehicle was less than two years old the rear passenger window went out. The rear passenger doors hinges squeak and grind. I've already had the right rear passenger door hinge replaced, now the left rear passenger door hinge is getting worst.
