Pontiac Grand Am Visibility Power Window Devices And Controls Safety Report | Jan 20, 2004
Reported on Jan 20, 2004
| AFTER MOVING TO TUCSON IN AUGUST OF 2003, MY POWER WINDOWS BEGAN FALLING OUT OF THEIR TRACKS ONE BY ONE. I CURRENTLY HAVE ONE WINDOW LEFT THAT ACTUALLY STAYS UP WITHOUT A DOOR STOP AND ONE THAT I CAN'T GET OUT OF THE DOOR FRAME BECAUSE I CAN'T GET THE DOOR APART. THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW IS DOWN IN THE DOOR. THE ONE WINDOW THAT IS STILL IN THE TRACK IS ON ITS LAST LEG. IT'S MAKING THE SAME SOUNDS THE DRIVERS SIDE DID BEFORE IT JUST FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. I HAVE SEVERAL CO-WORKERS WHO ALSO HAVE GRAND AMS AND ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. APPARENTLY GM USED A PLASTIC CLIP TO HOLD THE WINDOWS IN PLACE AND THEY MAY HAVE MELTED IN THE HEAT. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $300 PER WINDOW, BUT I BELIEVE IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY GM.*AK | |
