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.
I've had 8 failures where the power windows fall down without warning. The first two failures were under warranty. Since then he regulators had to be replaced at a cost of $200 to $250 each. I stopped using the power windows years ago but they still keep breaking. On the last two occurrences I glued the windows closed with construction adhesive. Probably not the safest thing to do but I'm done paying for a factory defect. One broke and fell down when the door was closed, five broke and fell down while driving and two broke and fell down while the car was parked.

Window regulator for right rear window failed spontaneously, causing window to drop. This is the fifth regulator to fail in 85000 miles. The regulators for all four windows have failed once, the right rear regulator has now failed twice.
I have experienced three window regulator failures (device that raises and lowers power windows). The only one that has not failed is the drivers door window. The passenger door and both rear doors have failed at different times. Last failure date below.
