| In dec. 2005 my driver side power window failed to operate - it will stick and not roll down. after while it will roll up and down as normal. i took the car to dealer mcelveen pontiac, summerville, sc (i had bought this vehicle from this dealer) as it was still under warranty. dealer found nothing wrong and no work was performed. above problem continued with driver and passenger side window intermittently normally happened when it was drizzling raining. in dec. 2007 my passenger side power window failed and it will not roll up. it was drizzling when it failed. i took the car to dealer lou sobh pontiac, duluth, ga on 12/13/2007 and got repaired on 12/17/2007. according to dealer passenger side window assembly had failed. dealer replaced the regulator assembly. since than both windows are working ok so far. this can cause accident if it is raining and window fails to roll up or in the event of poor visibility (morning with heavy fog or frost on the window) when you want to roll down window to see upcoming traffic before taking left turn. this failure occur at the same time when my rear signal light failed. it turned out that there was electrical problem and socket had melted. therefore, there is a possibility that these two incidents are related. *tr | |||

| Driver's side window began losing ability to lift/lower after being lowered one day while window had moisture on it. took it to gm dealer after window became totally stuck down and was told it was motor. a month later it happened again. was told it was regulator. three months later happened again, only this time to passenger side window. have yet to take it in again because car is no longer under warranty. it is my understanding that window motor regulator should last around 5 years. it also makes me wonder why this only happened after the windows were opened/shut with moisture on them (dew from am. this does pose a safety hazard in my opinion as we have trouble makers in the neighborhood who delight in shooting paint balls at cars at night, and i don't like having an open window in which it can go flying through and hit me in the eye/head), as well as a general inconvenience. i would like an investigation done on whether or not the moisture has anything to do with these failing windows. please update on what is found out. thank you. and i checked property damage because of the moisture damage that resulted to my vehicle (and everything in it) because of a storm we had while the window was stuck down. so to me that is property damage. *ak | |||

| I purchased the car in october 2003 and the car was great. in march 2006 i started having problems where the car when attempted to start would take a few seconds extra and then start, then 6 months later i was driving down the street and the car just cut off in the middle of an intersection. the car restarted about 10 minutes later. then in november this started happening more an more frequently. one night in december the car cut off and would not restart at all. i was able to pull of the road. i waited an hour and still the car would not start. i came back the next day and the car would not start. i got the car towed to a mechanic who said that he thought it was the fuel pump so i replaced that and the car worked for 2 days and then the same problem again. he then tested the car and saw there was no power going to the fuel pump. i had him do a temporary fix and run a line from the battery to the fuel pump so the car would still start. then everything else slowly started to fail. the air bag light would come on intermittently and now stays on. one low beam headlight went out and then the other followed by my high beam totally. my front left turn signal went then the rear right followed by the front right. my horn no longer works. i don't know if my airbags would deploy if i was in an accident. the windshield wiper recently stopped working as well. *jb | |||
