Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: General motors cars: (a) 2001 oldsmobile aurora, with 55,000 miles & (b) 2002 buick lesabre, with 62,000 miles 1. in june 2006, within 2 weeks of one another, both rear power windows on car a just dropped. repair and replacement cost about $500 for each window. old parts are not available. 2. last night (2/18/2007), in 28 degree weather, we got into car b to return home and when we shut the doors, both right side windows dropped. it was frigid and i put a blanket up to keep the cold out. this blocked my view of the left side of the vehicle and i almost hit a pedestrian. i will take the car to a dealership for repairs and replacement which will undoubtedly cost over $1000. in both cases, i engage the child door locks and window control to prevent children from opening or falling out of the window. when the rear window falls as it did, children are in danger. while researching this problem on the internet, i have discovered that this has been a problem for buick since 2000. why has the problem persisted for over many years, until the 2002 model year and beyond!? this problem demands a recall! *jb
