Tl*the contact owns a 2000 pontiac bonneville. The contact stated that the rear driver's side window will not go up or down. When he attempts to open it, the window does not move. The window automatically goes down when driving over a bump in the road. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer because the failure previously occurred on the front passenger side window and he was charged $409.41 for the repair. As a result, he will not pay to repair the window again. The failure mileage was 88,800. Updated 10/16/08 *bf updated 10/21/08.

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 pontiac bonneville. The front and rear driver side power windows fell down. The failure occurred when the vehicle drove over a bump at 25 MPH and also when the window was being rolled down. The glass did not break. The vehicle was not inspected by a dealer, but the contact disconnected the regulator. The aluminum rims corroded on the inside and caused the tires to leak air. The failure mileage was 90,000 and current mileage was 94,540.

Passenger window regulator failed. Two months later, the driver's side failed. Costs of over $400 & over $500. Between these dates the transmission went with only 60,000 miles. Cost to repair was $2400. Called pontiac on it. They had the dealer send a $400 "good faith" check. No more general malfunction vehicles.

2 regulators for two different windows were replaced within the first 2 years which was covered by the gm warranty. The third window regulator was replaced after the warranty expired at the cost of $350. Now the fourth regulator on the last window is broken and the dealer wants over $400 to fix.

July of 2005 left front window regulator failed. Replaced window regulator. November 2005 left window regulator failed. December 2005 right window fell down while driving because regulator failure. Car has air conditioning and windows are not used much. Rear window switches are locked out from drivers control because of a child in back seat. Reason for not being used much. I only have fixed the drivers window because of the expense and need to pay tolls. I have contacted gm about covering the parts and I will perform the install. They refused because of the 100k miles. This car is a 2000 pontiac bonneville.

I purchased a gm certified 2000 pontiac bonneville in may 2002. Since that time I have had to replace 3 window regulators in the vehicle, one for the drivers door and one each for the back doors. This seems to be quite excessive for a vehicle that is only 5 years old & has less than 80k miles on it. Further, I have a small child so I can count on one hand the number of times that I have lowered the rear windows. I am confident that this is not a wear-and-tear issue, since I have replaced both regulators with gm parts and as I stated seldom roll the windows down. I have noted an approximate date for the first incident below. The most recent replacement was in august 2005.
