2002 Oldsmobile Alero Visibility & Wipers Problems

DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW ON MY 2002 OLDSMOBILE ALERO FAILS TO ROLL UP. I HAVE CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND THERE A "MANY" COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM, IN ADDITION TO THE ELEVEN (11) NHTSA AND SERVICE BULLETINS YOU ALREADY HAVE ON THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

DRIVER WINDOW FELL DOWN INTO DOOR. *TR

OUR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW STARTED MAKING A FUNNY NOISE AND THEN IT FELL INTO THE DOOR. WE TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS IT ONTO THE MOTOR WAS BROKEN, AND WE HAD TO BUY A WHOLE NEW MOTOR. SO WE REPLACED IT IN AUGUST 2007. IT STARTED GIVING US PROBLEMS AGAIN IN APRIL 2008. THE PART IS NOW TOTALLY BROKEN AND WE ARE AGAIN REPLACING THE MOTOR AND BRACKETS. IN THE MEANTIME WE HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH OUR PASSENGERS SIDE WINDOW. WE HARDLY EVER ROLL DOWN OUR WINDOWS AND ARE VERY UPSET TO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH 3 SEPARATE UNITS. *TR

1. THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW START TO SLOW DOWN WHEN BEING ROLLED UP OR DOWN, WITHIN WEEKS OF NOTICING THAT THE WINDOW WILL EITHER FALL TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR OR GET STUCK ON THE TRACK. HAVE REPLACED EACH WINDOW MOTOR TWICE AND NOW REPLACING THE DRIVERS SIDE FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE WINDOW ALSO HAS TO BE REPLACED THIS TIME, BECAUSE OF CRACKS. THEY HAVE TOLD ME NOW, THAT OLDSMOBILE HAS CHANGED THE WINDOW MOTOR AND FRAME. MEANING THAT THE ENTIRE THINGS HAS TO BE REPLACED. COSTING WELL OVER 600 DOLLARS. IF GM WANTED TO CHANGE THE WINDOW SETTINGS AND EVERYTHING ELSE SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE SENT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS. WAS ALSO TOLD BY A GM DEALER IN PARTS THAT THE WINDOWS WERE NOT LASTING FOR THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE CAR. *JB

2002 ALERO WINDOW REGULATOR IS BRITTLE AND DISINTEGRATING CAUSING WINDOW TO FALL DOWN. *TS THE CD PLAYER WAS INOPERATIVE, THE REAR VIEW MIRROR WAS LOOSE AND THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR MESSAGE CAME ON. *JB

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS CONSTANTLY SHORT CIRCUIT SO THEY CAN NOT BE OPENED. THE DRIVER WINDOW SOUNDS LIKE IT IS OFF TRACK AND HAS TROUBLE CLOSING. THE PASSENGER WINDOW STOPS WORKING FOR NO REASON. THE MOTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER BUT THE MOTOR STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW. *TR

CONSUMER STATED THE DEFOGGER LINES EXPLODED. AS A RESULT, A SMALL FIRE ERUPTED. NO INJURIES REPORTED. *AK...CONSUMER DIDN'T CALL FIRE DEPARTMENT OR REPORT IT TO POLICE DEPARTMENT.*AK

FOR THE FIFTH TIME THE WINDOW ON MY CAR HAS BROKEN. USUALLY THE WINDOW REGULATOR GOES OUT AND THE BRACKETS BREAK ALONG WITH MY WINDOW. THIS TIME, ONLY THE BRACKETS BROKE AND NOT THE REGULATOR. PROBLEM IS MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I DO NOT FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS SINCE MY CAR IS A 2002 MODEL AND THIS IS THE FIFTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE SITUATION. *NM

I HAVE A 2 DOOR 2002 OLDS. ALERO THAT HAS MANY PROBLEMS. MY WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BROKEN ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS,MY WINDOWS FALL INTO THE DOOR AND HAVE NO WORKING CAPABILITY. I WENT TO AN OLDS. DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CAUSED BY ANYTHING I DID. IT COSTS A LITTLE OVER 1000.00 TO FIX BOTH WINDOWS ON EVERY OCCASION THAT THEY BREAK. I HAVE PAID THIS AMOUNT ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND I FEEL THAT IT'S NOT RIGHT FOR ME TO BE PAYING ANYTHING AT ALL. I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET THEM FIXED AGAIN NOR DO I FEEL THAT I HAVE TO. I CONTINUALLY DRIVE AROUND IN THE FREEZING COLD WEATHER W/BROKEN WINDOWS THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE BROKEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. I WOULD REALLY LIKE SOMEONE TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE RESEARCHED IT AND HAVE FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE FIRST ONE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS ON JUST THIS PROBLEM NOT TO MENTION PLENTY OTHERS. *NM

DT: TWO DOOR VEHICLE. THE POWER WINDOWS MECHANISM THAT SUPPORTS THE WINDOW BROKE. THE WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL UP. CONSUMER HAD ONE SIDE REPAIRED BY A MECHANIC. *TT
