The mechanism that raises and lowers the side windows on my 1999 Alero gls coupe failed about one year ago -- in both windows. They were repaired after failing, and even the repaired mechanism failed. The window can not be raised from its current lowered position.

I bought my car with 14 miles on it. In the first year, I had to have the molding on the doors replaced because they leaked. The drivers side window fell into the door. I've been told that it is my regulator that needs to be replaced. I also found a broken clip just sitting inside my door. You can't buy just a regulator or clips so I will need to buy those parts plus the motor which will cost at least $280. My rotors also needed to be shaved down because they were warped and my brakes needed to be replaced and now, only 5 months later, they need to be totally replaced because they are warped again and my brakes will have to be replaced as well. This is the worst car I've ever owned! my first and last experience I will ever have with GM!! I realize things happen to cars, but I would expect Oldsmobile to acknowledge these re-occurring problems and be held accountable to fix them.

Drivers side window mechanism broken. Window fell while driving on interstate. What was found after door inside panel taken off was many broken plastic clips. These clips attach to the window and window regulator. After investigation through several olds dealers and used car parts dealers was that this is a known problem for which a service bulletin is in effect. Of note, you cannot purchase replacement clips for the window. In order to correct the problem, you must purchase the entire window motor, regulator and clips for which are not guaranteed to not break again. This unit costs over $250. We feel that this is a safety violation due to the fact that the slightest nick in the window can cause fatal damage if driven down the road.

I was driving down the road at about 15 mph and I rolled down the window. While lowering it I heard a very loud bang, and it scared me so I stopped. Tried to roll the window back up but I could hear pieces of glass moving around so I stopped. The glass broke and the window would only go back up 75 % of the way. My husband had to pull it up with his hand. We will be taking it to the dealership tomorrow.

The driver's side power window fell to the bottom of the driver's door while trying to roll up the window. The body shop determined the cause to be the glue coming unsealed from the window and its clip on one side of the window and the other clip broke from the pressure. The 4 clips are not available individually; 2 must be purchases with the glass on which they come attached and 2 with the power window regulator. There is a national backorder on the regulator parts, but no reports of a defect or problem. This window is cross-referenced to the 1999/2000 Pontiac Grand Am, also. Consequently, I am without a window in the fall rainy season and am faced with over $700 in manufacturer's part replacements.
