The drivers window will go down when you put key in ignition right before you start vehicle. After it goes down you must wait 10 seconds or so and you can put window up. This is the exact same issue my 2007 chevy trailblazer is being recalled for. But the Buick Century is not on the recall list.
Defective motor & regulator for the window motors - all four. Drivers window fell down, rear passenger fell down, now the rear drivers window fell down. Manufacturer says this is only a problem in the west - az & TX, not a recall item. The price to repair is $600. 00 each. I am retired and cannot afford to pay for this. All of the Buick Century's in this area are falling down. Almost every one is taped up and the manufacturer will not stand behind the defective parts. My granddaughter just had all 4 of her window motors replaced. Can something be done about this?.
Subject of complaint is the power windows on our 2001 Buick Century. I'm a mechanic and do my best to keep this car in top shape. But gm used some very crappy materials when building the power window regulators. The system works fine until a small plastic part that holds the operating cables together breaks. This piece probably cost the general about $. 05 to make and is not available through gm dealers. Instead you have to buy a complete power window regulator assy. With motor for between $ 325. 00- $400. 00 depending on which dealer you talk to. I'm now replacing the third regulator assy. On this car with about 70,000 miles on it and all were broken in the same way. All on different doors.
