problem #2

Feb 102005

Skylark 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 85,000 miles
Power windows - very slow going up and down for the last two years. All 4 window regulators and motors have stopped working at the same time. Cannot put windows down to get out of car if it lands in a canal or waterway along the highway. Cost $500 a window to have them replaced. Friend has a 2002 Buick and all 4 window regulators and motors do not work.
