In june 2005 the passenger side window motor on my 2002 grand prix gtp broke and just today now the driver's side has done exactly the same. Back in june it cost me over $400 to have a "used" part installed and that was not even easy to find. I am going to have to get this fixed asap and worried that once again I will have a problem finding the part. I will be making a direct complaint to pontiac as well as I believe that it is ridiculous to have this happen to two windows in less than 4 years. I live in south florida and rarely even use the windows because the A/C is always on. Very disappointing.

Dt: 2002 pontiac grand prix. The consumer stated the front passenger window fell down, then, the driver's rear window fell off four days later, and finally the passenger's rear window fell off the next day. This problem started on august 24, 2005. The motor regulators for the front windows were replaced about a year and a half ago. The vehicle was taken to the dealership. The first two windows were fixed. When the third window fell off he consumer contacted pontiac, and they paid for the repairs. The manufacturer stated they would reimburse the consumer for the previous work, but they called back today and stated they would not.
The windows in my grand prix just started failing and dropped down into the door and would not operate at all. The first on went then 4 days later the 2nd one went and the next day a 3rd window broke again. Each time we had to take the car to the dealership and have the motor and regulator replaced at 600.00 each time. This car is only 3 years old and should not have this problem. This was also bogus since gm refuse to make the regulator without the motor so they can charge double on the part at 350.00+dollars. This is absurd that this is not a recall issue yet. And the service provided by ponitac is insulting.
Through normal use, all four window regulator motors on my 2002 grand prix have had cable breaks or entanglement with the housing. 2 (front) have been replaced by myself at the cost of aftermarket part of $90 per instance. 2 (rear) have been pre-paid for $90 per item, but remain a back ordered/unavailable item - 1 part since june. 3 of original parts are still available for inspection. The two rear windows have required imaginative solutions to remain in a closed position. The most recent occurrence is listed as the incident date.
Windshield wipers stuck in non-horzontal (or vertical ) position while switched off. W ipers were turned on and wheny they were turned off the arms did not return to the normal (horizontal) positions. Car was reapired at a mechanics shop for about $360.00.
1)lost one speed on heater fan, than lost all speeds. Obviously in this climate, the defroster is a very important accessory. Had the heater resister replaced and got 4 speeds which was ok. It`s now 1 week later and it stopped working again. On a 2002 vehicle, this should not be happening. The warranty has run out because of mileage.
Rear and front windows did not roll down or roll up. Consumer contacted the dealership. Technician indicated window regulator failed.
While driving the vehicle in the rain windshield wiper on driver's side failed. This caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle and crash into a ditch. Consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealer for inspection.
When the wipers were turned off the blades would stop in the middle of the windshield. The dealer replaced the motor twice but the problem recurred in less than three weeks. The manufacturer is aware of the problem.
Consumer stated that while driving at any speed and without warning the front window would fall off the track causing a loud noise and a distraction to the consumer. Dealer notified. Ts
