“I own (bought used) a 1999 Buick Century, at 27,000 miles my drivers windows regulator/motor went out. At 30,000 I hit a little bump while in a construction zone and the passenger side broke and fell down, of course I saw it and swerved a bit, but fortunately not too much. My mother owns a 2000 Buick Century, at 20,000 her drivers side window broke....I am just waiting for a few more miles and then her passenger side will go. General motors needs to make these parts better. …”
