The contact owns a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix. When the contact started the ignition, the security warning indicator illuminated for ten minutes on the instrument panel. The failure occurred intermittently. In addition, all of the power windows failed to operate. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for inspection and the technician stated that the failure was contributed to the window motor and power window switch. The front driver's side window components were replaced. On a separate occasion, the vehicle was taken to the authorized dealer for diagnostic testing regarding the security warning indicator. The computer code detected that the vehicle was operating properly. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 54,000 and current mileage was 204,000.

I have had to replace two of the motors for my windows (one of them in a rear window which is never even used!). I work with 5 other people that have had at least two-four motors go out on their Pontiac also. This appears to be a recurring problem with Pontiac and has caused me to reconsider buying a new Grand Prix.

3 out of 4 windows do not operate on a 4yr old car because a little plastic retainer clip broke on each window leaving the window un operable. The driver window, the driver side rear window and the passenger rear window.

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.
