End of February 2006, the left rear window fell down for no apparent reason. Took car on March 1, 2006 to a mechanic to fix and also to fix right front passenger window which had been malfunctioning(failure to roll down). This cost me $800 to repair both windows as the rear and front window regulators are over $300 a piece. Now on April 2, 2006 the right rear passenger window fell down without any apparent reason. A loud pop was heard and the window fell. 3 windows failing within a month does not sound reasonable.
3 out of 4 power windows have failed. One was covered by extended warranty. The parts to fix the window yourself from dealer is over $300. 00. The cost to have fixed at the dealer is over $500. 00. Windows have failed for no apparent reason. Normal use only. The design/motors of these windows must be faulty.
: the contact stated the rear passenger's side power window fell down without warning and will not go back up. The vehicle was taken to the dealership were the problem was found to be the electrical motor in the power window. During a period of time the front passenger's side window and the rear drivers side windows have also malfunctioned. The manufacturer has been alerted however, no repairs have been made.

Simultaneous failure of both motors in power windows in driver and front seat passenger of 1999 Buick Regal, causing sudden drop of windows. Both were replaced by dealer at cost to owner of $1,100. No explanation was provided by dealer as to reason for this extraordinary occurence other than stating that replacement was not under expired warranty. The sudden drop of the windows was highly dangerous due to its distraction factor, inability to repel inclement elements, etc.
