| 2000 | VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS | I HAVE OWNED A 2000 BUICK REGAL SINCE 2001. A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE ELECTRIC WINDOW STARTING OPERATING ERRATICALLY - SOMETIMES IT WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL; OTHER TIMES IT WOULD. MY MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT BUT IT WORKED FINE FOR HIM. LAST WEEK, IT SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND MADE A GRINDING NOISE, CAUSING DIFFICULTY IN EVERY DAY USAGE, SUCH AS PULLING UP TO MAILBOX TO GET MAIL. MY MECHANIC STATED THE PART ALONE WILL COST OVER $300 DOLLARS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS IS A ROUTINE PROBLEM IN BUICKS DUE TO POOR DESIGN - A PLASTIC PIECE (INVOLVING REGULATOR?) THAT FAILS TOO EASILY. PLEASE ASK BUICK / GM TO ISSUE A RECALL DUE TO THE ENORMOUS FREQUENCY OF THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *JB |
