This is applicable to both front power windows: power windows fail to operate randomly, up or down. Gmc is relunctant to replace the units unless they see the defect occur. This could be a serious problem if the window were to fail to close in the rain or sandy situations while the car is being driven, damage to the interior or theft. Being unable to open a window could block and escape path in an accident. Not to mention daily problems, like toll boths, drive thru's etc.

Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have had a new transmission, calipers, gear shift mechanism,2 lighters, alternator,2 sets of window motors, 1 broken motor mount,strut torque wasnt bolted to the car when leased, a radial pull in 1 tire in which I had to pay to have replaced, tire scraping on fender right after leasing, 2 new headlamps,fuel cap, battery, and have had a short somewhere and dealer refused to locate. Dealer and pontiac customer division refuse a buy back or trade in. Sent package to general motors to make them aware of the situation and they refused the package all together. Pontiac tells me their field rep went to talk to john moore and he refused a buy back so in turn, so did pontiac. I just would like a car that runs. This is my second pontiac that has been a lemon. I have all documentaion to prove it. How does a single mom working two jobs get help? Its costed me a fortune in missed work.( dot number: tire size: p195/65r15 )
