First incident happened when I was just driving to work I went to lower the rear window heard a noise and the window fell down. I tried to shut it, but it would not close, the motor did not work and I only had 52,000 miles on the car. Second incident happened last week when I was driving to the store with my baby granddaughter and the window on the other side did the same thing. Difference here it was a cold day in maine and my 16 month old granddaughter was in her car seat in the back. Tried to get it closed but it would fall right back down. I had to get the parents to come get the baby because it would have been to cold for me to drive her home with the wind coming through the window I now have 62,331 miles on this car. This is very unsafe, all 2001 bonnevilles should be recalled, and have the windows fixed.

When the rear window motor of 2001 bonneville fails, it causes the window to lower even though it is in the fully raised position. The window position was not being changed at the time. It was just a sudden clunk sound from the back seat and the window went down. This happened when driving at night in very heavy rain, on the interstate with infant in the rear seat. This may seem like a minor item, but if we had been in a north dakota snow storm, temp. Of 5 degrees and wind chills even worse.. The situation would have been life threatening. The window should be designed remain in it's selected position in the event of motor failure. The second rear window failed in the exact same manner about 4 months after the first..no baby on board this time.
