At 65,000 miles or so my driverside window slamed down into my car door while I was turning a corner(needless to say it scared the sh*t out of me!). Four months later, both of my back windows fell into the door within the same week, and then....... to my surprise, a month later my front passenger window did the same thing! Now that is just rediculous! This should be a manufacturer expence, due to them using extreemly crappy parts made in slave shop in china. Now I have to spend hundreds of dollars to replace crappy parts with the same crappy parts, just so they'll break again, and then spend hundreds of more dollars....... How redundent, and I will NEVER buy "American" again! I think I'm turning Japanese. lol

I can't belive how incompetent these car manufacturers are! These problems occur repeatedly on this particular make and model of car and always at about the same mileage. I am sitting here griping when I should be in class but my car window has fallen into the door and it isn't safe to leave it where I need to park it without a window, on top of all that, it's snowing! I am so tired of being ignored as soon as the dealership makes their sale. After you give them thousands of dollars all they give you is the runaround about their shoddy manufacturing. DO NOT BUY A GM VEHICLE!!!!! unless you are obscenely wealthy and enjoy fixing the same problems over and over again. I have learned my lesson, the Japanese are the only ones in the market who know how to build a vehicle.

Welp, now it has happened. The passenger window had the plastic regulator piece break, and now the window is creeping down into the door. This is the third window to do so; the driver's side window had this problem a year and a half ago, and the rear passenger's window broke last summer. I didn't even bother to replace the piece in the rear window, which is now held firmly in place by a plank of wood. Debating now how I want to fix the piece - another plank or trot off to the junkyard for an equally flimsy piece. For so many users to have this same problem, Pontiac should have had a recall for this problem.
