First, the window would roll down but I would have to pull it up manually to get it back up. Then one day, it fell down and would not stay up at all. I had to tape it up. I took it to the dealership and they replaced the regulator and switch.

I rolled my window down and when I went to roll it back up my window clip broke. At first my window just stopped halfway up but then a couple of minutes later my window fell into my door. When I went to get the part that was broken the auto parts clerk told me that I would have to get it from a dealership. I then decided to google my problem and found out that this is a defect that many owners have encountered. From what I have found, it's gonna cost about $500 to fix this problem and I just bought my car not even two weeks ago!!! GM has yet to recall this even though it's a very common problem in Pontiac Grand Ams.

Grand Am GT
Bought this car used almost three years ago and have had little to no problems with it (aside from replacing the tires a few months ago), until driving down the road (say around 50mph) the other day and *bahm*, my passenger window falls into the door! Scares the hell out of me, until the annoyance sets in. I managed to pull the window up and get it wedged mostly back into it's "up" position, but there is no way it's on track anymore. The cherry on the sundae was when I then closed the door, I definitely heard something fall inside my door. I'm tempted to take the door apart and see if I can fix this thing, as my driver window has also been acting a little weird lately, and if this is going to be a repeat thing I would rather not have to work this added cost into my budget. Have a friend that does runs a mechanic shop, so I may see what he has to say first. What's funny is that the girl at a shop I go to has the same car, and when I asked her how it was working out for her (this was a few months ago) she sighed, and among other things this window issue was mentioned. WTF! It doesn't seem right they can sell a product so faulty, safety issue or not.
