Power window and mirror issues in 1998 Buick Century. I have been dealing with this problem since 2004, I've been told by multiple mechanics that it's a known issue with the Buick Century, why is there no recall" the windows keep coming off the track, I drive on smooth roads and follow the speed limit, so what is going on???" my power mirrors haven't worked since 2004. Drivers side window is the one that's given me the worst headache, put in a new motor thinking that's why it was sticking and then it quit working again. Please look into this issue, it's not safe.

Windshield wipers are not functioning properly. My left wiper bangs a few inches up then smacks back down. This is not snow related because I've learner to cover all aspects of the wipers and windshield because of my first time waiting for snow to melt. This has been ongoing since I acquired the car from my grandmother in Dec. 2008. She purchased the car, but is too old too keep up with recalls and such. I see there are many other complaints and I was almost in a crash with my children due to a sudden rain shower causing the visibility to be awful.
