Purchased 2004 Pontiac Vibe from a dealership. Noticed right away problem with windows "clanking", "shaking" when in operation. Dealer was waiting on part to correct problem. On my way to work and dropping my daughter off at school, I lowered driver side window to check mail box. Upon closing window, it shattered all over me and inside of car. (this while car was in motion!) needless to say, I missed work and my daughter missed classes that day as we waited on dealer to pick up car for repair. Window was "repaired" but problem continued. To this date am not able to use any of the windows as the passenger side has same problem as well as rear!! we are entering hot temperatures and would like to be able to lower windows for air when air conditioning should not be required. Not to mention when needed in drive through situations (bank, etc.) please advise as to "where do we go from here." Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.

During January of 2007 I noticed that my driver's side window was making a rattling noise everytime I would open and shut my door. I needed to get some work done so I took my car to the dealer for a regular tune up and mentioned the rattling in the door and my concern with the window. After my car was returned they had assured me that my window was looked at and nothing was wrong with it. After a couple months the rattling started again. One warm night I had my window down and after trying to put it up, my window came up crooked. I slowly put my window down and tried to pull it up slowly and straight in fear of rain that night. After one time of trying to put it back up my window shattered on me while sitting in my driver's seat. I was covered in glass and suffered from minor glass cuts. There are still pieces of glass I am finding throughout my driver's side door. After getting my window fixed a couple days later I was told that my window should be stable and in working properly. By the end of October, I started noticing a noise coming out of the top left corner of the driver's side window. I noticed that my window was out of place and there is a quarter of an inch of window that does not meet the seal. Along the edges the seal is starting to peal out and there is air getting through. This has also started along the front passenger side window as well. In December of 2007 I went to put my window down at a drive through and found that my window, once again, was coming in crooked. Although it hasn't shattered again on me yet, there is still a gap between the window and the seal.

Rolling up driver side window the window popped and shattered. I took it to a dealer and had it replaced - $250. It had recently come off track again and while looking under the door panel myself I can see where the bolt is grinding into the door and not moving all the way up the track.

I am a resident of Canada but think you should here my complaint. We have heard a clicking noise in the front passenger window of our 2004 Pontiac Vibe. The window finally failed and came off the track and right out of the outside of the frame while driving down the road. Luckily we did not use it any more until we went to the dealer and they put it back on track and in place. They then told us it would cost almost $400 to repair a stripped window regulator. Our warranty was up 3 months ago due to timing. There is still only 35000miles on vehicle. We did not have the repair and contacted G.M. Canada they said they would look into it, have not heard back. I then seen the articles that nhts is investigating many similar failures in other Vibes. I contacted Transport Canada but their investigator did not think it was safety related. That is why I am contacting you to make sure this problem is brought to your attention. It definitely think it is safety related as far as I'm concerned and think the manufacturer should be made recall and repair these vehicles.
