Power window failure by model year
What owners say
The pontiac was brought in o the dealer I bought it from because the driver side window fell into the door and would no longer work, the (regulator clip, the piece on the bottom of the window on the right side snapped and caused the window to crack in that corner as well,. As a result, the window was replaced which was not covered under warranty due to this plastic piece that was not suitable or strong enough to hold up the window. Also, the dealer informed me that this was most likely going to happen again. They had seenthe same defect in other grand ams as well.I would consider this a defect that could cause an accident, luckly, the window didnt fall when driving.the exact date was unsure.
Front end rotor problems. Replaced rotors three times since I bought it brand new 02/2004. The first time was in 04/2004. Also had to replace both front window motors due to failure. Has been in the shop 5 times and only has 39000 miles on it.
The shifter needs to be replaced on a car with 36000 miles and also both window regulators need replaced.
I have a 2-door model grand am and the window support clips on both side windows have broken within a month. The windows will not stay up as a result and the dealer has quoted $400 per window to correct the problem. The entire glass has to be replaced to fix the clip.
1: closing window; 2:passenger window fell out of track 3: pontiac dealer will not fix, driver side window fell on monday 10-25-04.

The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring.
