| 2000 | VISIBILITY | 2000 BUICK CENTURY, POWER WINDOWS FELL DOWN.1ST ONE, AND COULD NOT GET IT BACK UP. NEXT DAY ANOTHER FELL DOWN WHEN I WASN'T IN CAR. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID A 3RD FELL DOWN BY IT'S SELF. THEY CHARGED ME OVER $1,300.00,SAYING EACH WINDOW BROKE FOR NO REASON. A MONTH LATER,THE LAST WINDOW,WHICH HAD NO PROBLEM WOULD NOT GO DOWN AND STILL DOESN'T. NO WAY DID 4 WINDOWS BREAK ALL AT ONCE.I THINK WHATEVER CONTROLS THE WINDOWS BROKE AND THEY DIDN'T FIX IT AND CHEATED ME. NOW I HAVE THE WINDOW ON DRIVER'S SIDE THAT WILL NOT GO DOWN. THAT MAKES ALL 4 POWER WINDOWS BROKEN,ONE STILL UNFIXED. *TR |
