I have owned a 2000 pontiac grand prix and a 2002 pontiac bonneville. The window motor on both vehicles seem defective. On my grand prix, 3 of the four window motors stopped working. On my bonneville, all 4 window motors stopped. The window would not move up or down. Very often it has been stuck down (window open) and I could not "roll" it back up. Each time I got it fixed, they said it was the motor. I have discussed this problem with other pontiac owners and they have all experienced. 8jb

1. This is a failure that has take place over a span of six months. After only using the windows a couple of times the motor or regulator fails. The first failure was in march of 2004, the second in april of 2004 and the most recent was in august of 2004. 2. There has been a failure in the motor or window regulator in all four of our windows. The consequence of the failure is the inability to roll-up the windows. In addition, we are unable to use the vehicle which is a problem when it is the only one that has a car seat. We also feel it is unfare for the consumer to have to keep paying for something pontiac should take care of. 3. Our vehicle is under warranty until december; therefore, the dealership fixed the parts that failed. We also contacted pontiac's customer service and they acknowledged there is a design flaw with the window sash and that is causing the failure in the motors and regulators. However, they are not planning on a recall until there are enough complaints filed with the federal safety agency. This is unacceptable when our warranty is up in december and we have to keep paying to have something fixed that is clearly a desing failure. We fell that the federal safety agency needs to examine this problem and pressure pontiac to recall the window sashes on their vehicles. Especially since they will not take action until they are notified by you.
