Power Windows

Post by cool vibes »

Does GMC make crappy power window motors or what? I find it very ironic that two of my GMC cars that i own a Vibe& my Buick Regal the other, which i use to own .woundn"t work properly when it was raining or snowing outside. either to slow or shakes going up or down.

Had 5 previous GM cars with pwr windows and never had a problem. Hope the Vibe is not the first.

My Sunfire's passenger side window won't work sometimes, and when both windows work, they are very slow.

I've had 4 Pontiacs and never had a problem with any of their power windows failing either. Not to say that it can't happen. Maybe you were just unlucky with those particular vehicles. Hopefully this will not continue. I would be very frustrated as well.
