Drivers side window opens but will not close properly. The glass will not go up straight. The automatic rear windows will open separately or not at all. Once open it takes several tries to get them to close.

Driver\\'s power window was initially slow to close, and then wouldn\\'t close all the way. Eventually, it began closing erratically, with the glass askew. The dealer diagnosed the problem as a faulty power window control module; the part is approximatley $450 and the labor is $250. GM has refused to repair the part, due to lack of warranty history on the claim. They do have an outstanding service bulleting for an allied problem, of sticky window tracks, which probably led to the initial slowness of the window closing. That probably led to a failure of the module in question. In an effort to save money, I tried having it repaired at a local auto glass repair facility, hoping they could just reposition the window. They came back with the same diagnosis. Curiously, they indicated that they contacted at least 20 sources for the window module, and that they were told the part is on a national back order. And yet GM denies a problem with this part!
