“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10175678, filed 2006-12, 120,000 miles“Electric window motors fail leaving open windows in vehicle due to faulty general motors design. Upon examination I found that the steel cables that hold the electric windows in my 2000 Buick Regal are under great tension and they self destruct due to the plastic guides falling apart. If the cable is not in tension the motor will not work and the window falls open into the car door. New motor regulator assembly costs $400 for each window and the dealers want $400 labor to replace each window. …”
NHTSA complaint #10161478, filed 2006-07, 68,000 miles“2000 Buick Regal with 50,000 miles. Bought this vehicle used in 2007. All 4 window regulators broke and had to be replaced at a cost of almost 1600$ canadian. After much research I find that this is a recurring problem on buicks.. This should be recalled by GM at there expense.”
NHTSA complaint #10246019, filed 2008-10, 50,000 miles“My complaint is my windows. My car will be paid off this nov. And I should have already filed this complaint. The first of this year my right back window got stuck in the downward position. I called superior chev to get a quote, it was 249.00 just for the window regulator over 600.00 parts and labor. I had to have the part so I bought it and came in contact with someone that could put it on for me for about 90% less than superior chev in dekalb county georgia. I always had trouble with the rear left window. I have my granddaughter car seat on that side. …”
NHTSA complaint #10140021, filed 2005-10“My major concern is when I went to replace my tires today goodyear ls eagles I was told the tie rods were worn so badly that they could not do it without replacing them to align the car properly. There had been a noise in the front of the car since the day one that I thought was normal tire noise, based on my years of driving (37 without incident) it seems worn tie rods at 31,000 miles is something to consider investigating. My driving is local 90% of the time, 7 miles each way to work, 5 days a week. Once a month a trip to boston. …”
