problem #3

Mar 102010

Grand Am 6 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 124,274 miles

This started happening about a year and a half ago. At first the window would go back up with a lot of trying over a period of time. Finally took so long the last time and it was raining so I don't use it anymore but it is very inconvenient

What if it is raining in January and the fat bastard I am carpooling with farts? If I roll down the windows I am relieved, but then I get soaked and the windows may take anywhere from 5 seconds to 2 hours to roll up. This is even worse because the manufacturer, Pontiac, does not acknowledge anything wrong with their cars on their website. They are content trying to get me to buy another $30K problem, and deny that too. They try to push it off on GM with all the foofy MYGM.com BS. Well that place has nowhere to submit an inquiry or check from a FAQ that remotely addresses the issue.

And what if my car had somehow driven into a Lake before I had a chance to put my boss into the trunk with it? How would "I" be able to get out. Surely the power windows will fail me. But who is thinking of a manual override? Besides me. I would like to live long enough to kick my daughter's boyfriends A$& some day. Not be killed by a stubborn car that thinks it's a Trans Am.
