The third window regulator broke in vehicle, second this year.

Power window lift mechanism failed.

Normal use of windows. All 4 window regulators failed. Replaced regulators at $350-450 a piece, old parts were available.

All four window regulators went out within one year. The repair costs ranged from $487 to $587 each. I researched the parts but because everything is housed in one part for this model it was impossible to find something affordable. The labor was $75. Any number of consequences could occur from the distraction to the driver when the loud pop occurs, from what might enter through the window while driving, or from an accident that may require exiting the vehicle through a window. Only a fool would replace with an old part since these parts do not last that long and cost so much.

Driver side power window failed in the down (open) position during heavy rain. A very fragile plastic connector failed where connected to a cable. The service man commented that this is a very frequent failure on this car. Window came down while on the highway at 70 mph. Causing my coffee to spill on the interior and myself. Cadillac dealer repair cost for window is $550. 00.

Right rear window emitted a loud "pop", and the window went down. Wedged the window in the up position as I was on my way to fla from new york. Upon my arrival in fla, took it to a dealer and they estimated the repair at $600. 00. I refused the repair and dissembled the door and window assembly to find the cable that controls the window to be disconnected due to a flimsy plastic catch that had broken. After several hours I was able to repair the window cable with a metal piece. Clearly this is an engineering flaw( I was an automotive engineer for 20 yrs. Had cycle and age tests been done properly, this flaw would have been detected, but then, the dealers would be out $600 per window for a . 05 cent part.

Front passenger and rear driver window fell down without warning will not go up. Contacted camargo Cadillac to see if covered under extended warranty they will not tell me over the phone said the car had to be brought to them.

Three of the four power windows have broken in the past six months, at seperate times. Each time the window was being rolled down there was a loud pop and the window would not go back up. One I could understand, but three in six months on a $40,000 car is unreasonable.

Passenger side power window failed in the down (open) position during heavy rain. A very fragile plastic connector failed where connected to a cable. The service man commented that this is a very frequent failure on this car. Repair cost $291. 50.

Windows fall down without warning. In all weather conditions had problem fixed on two windows, both front windows. The last one was the passenger side rear. It has not been fixed yet.
