Power Window Problems of Cadillac Deville - part 2

I don't suspect that this defect is safety-related so much as just a defect, but the window regulators have broken on 3 of the windows in my Cadillac in the last 5 months, causing all 3 windows to be stuck in the down position. The repair guy says he is repairing a lot of regulators in a lot of different cars because they are cheaply designed.

Electric window mechanisms breaking. Yesterday when the window was operated to close it, there was a loud cracking noise when it reached the top, the next day when the window was lowered, it made a grinding noise and then the window fell to the bottom and would not operate again. This was the driver's window. On June 14, we had the same thing happen but to the front passenger window. The Cadillac dealer charged us $640. 00 to replace a window regulator. It seems something is very defective if 2 of them break within a month.

The contact owns a 2001 Cadillac Deville. The contact stated that the regulator assemblies on both front windows and the rear passenger side window have malfunctioned. The windows would cost $1,500 to repair. The vehicle has not been repaired. The current mileage is 180,000 and failure mileage was 55,000. Updated 03/17/09. Updated 03/17/09.

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.

I have had to replace my automatic window motor and regulators five times. First on the rear left, then one month later on the front right, then in 2006, both left and right rear, and just this week the passenger front. I have had this car for 2 years. I am a good driver and have never been in an accident. The windows are cheaply made with a little piece of plastic that breaks a lot. I know that this problem is not unique to other Cadillac Deville owners, because the window regulators are often out of stock- meaning that many other people are having to get their windows fixed. The incident dates are 06-18-2004, 07-14-2004, 07-17-2006, 07-17-2006 and 10-17-2006. This is not safe to have a window that breaks so that you cannot control it.

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. Dealer and manufacturer said they will not fix window for free. Caller maintained problem affected the door; the passenger side rear door will not open. Caller felt children were in danger.

: the contact stated the cable mechanism that rolled the power windows up and down failed seven times. On 5-14-01, the driver's and passenger side front power window cables were replaced.

On 8-28-06, the driver's side front failed again. The dealership was aware and informed the contact the cables were weak and wore out prematurely. Updated 11/21/06.
