| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We have a 1998 buick century with less than 50,000 miles. the information in complaints 10137627 and 10134068 are very similar to our two experiences. in june 2004 the drivers side window just fell and could not go back up. the rear window on the side did the same thing a year later. both were spontaneous. each repair was about $500.00. i submitted a complaint to buick which was summarily dismissed because the car is "old" and it has only happened to each window once. (as an aside my wife's brother has the same year make and model and it has happened to three of his windows. the two vehicles were purchased from the same dealer about 4 months apart) i have accessed some information mentioned in the other complaints so i need not repeat it here. i believe buick has in inherent defect which should be repaired or changed at no cost. it was however replaced with the same hardware. our grandchildren ride in car seats in the back of the car and this failure could endanger them. your assistance in this matter is appreciated. *jb |
