My car is a 2000 pontiac grand prix gtp. In october 2003 and march 2004 I have had power window failures. The first incident involved the driver's window and the second involved the driver's side rear window. The total cost of the first repair was $457. The second repair is estimated to be at least $400. I have read many similar experiences on the internet with window failures, as many as 11 times on one car. I was even alerted to a law firm considering a class action suit on the matter.
2000 Pontiac Grand Prix visibility complaints

My 2000 grand prix has had the window cables repaired on the passanger side, now the driverside must be repaired, due to cable inside the door breaking. This repair cost $430.00 each time!
Rear and front side power windows do not roll down or roll up. Vehicle had been to dealer several times, but problem was not resolved.
Main complaint: gm is aware that their gm hydra-matic 4t65-e transmission has a defective part, yet they leave it to consumers to cover the cost of handling the problem. Specifically, my 2000 grand prix gt (with only 64,000 miles on it) started upshifting hard a few days ago from 1st to 2nd gear and I hear metallic grinding noises from underneath the car when shifting from 1st to 2nd while the car is still warming up. Having performed all of the necessary maintenance over the years, I am angered to learn that I will have to fork over approximately $600 to repair a manufacturer's defect on a car that I am still paying for. I've read of other people having to pay significantly more to fix this problem on their cars. Recently, gm repaired a coolant leak at no cost to consumers because it was deemed a defect. I had already experienced "low engine coolant" warnings from my car and was relieved to receive the recall letter offering to fix the problem for free. Of course, that repair took 15 minutes - gm didn't mind picking up the cost for that defect. My current problem will require several hours of transaxle work and gm has conveniently stuck me with the cost of this work. I also wonder why consumers are not being alerted to this problem. Some people may not notice or may choose to ignore the symptoms that I noticed until the other day until they have a catastrophic problem and have to pay thousands to repair their transaxle. It seems irresponsible to me that gm only issued this information as a service bulletin to mechanics. Other minor complaints: my car intermittently had trouble starting around 45000 miles. Two mechanics checked it and found nothing wrong. My kid brother found a loose wire coming from the battery and quickly fixed the problem. Currently, I have lost levels 1-3 of 5 for my heating/cooling fan, my windshield wiper fluid pump has stopped working and the lock on my trunk is inoperable. I'm not careless - these materials should have lasted much longer.
In cold weather the windshield wipers get stuck in an upright resting position. Also the steering rack and pinon have faulty bearings causing it to feel like the power steering is not working when you turn a sharp left.
The problem(s) are with both a 1998 and 2000 pontiac grand prix. The problems were as followed: engine components, steering, suspension, braking system, battery, fuel system, transmission, structural, the wheels were noisy, there were visual component defects, the radio was defective, and the interior light on the door was inoperative.
