2000 Cadillac Deville Visibility problems

Rolled down front passenger window using the driver button and was down for about a minute and then as I tried to bring it back up with the same button the window came up and then slammed down inside the window. The plastic guides broke inside and had to replace. The following week, the rear driver side window did the same thing. Today, my wife got the car washed and the attendant was unable to get the passenger rear window up without using his hands to help pull it back up. I'm hoping I'm not having to replace...

Rear windows fall off the tracks and go inside the door panel. *Tr

Window in front door and other doors jump off track and drop down. If hale storm, or heavy rain this could impair drivers ability to operate safely. Cadillac has many complaints due to this after I investigated it. I have 2 doors at present with windows broke. Please advise what I can do and expect gmc to do. *Tr

Power windows of cadillac deville spontaneously break, while driving, while sitting, in any types of weather. Cadillac is fully aware of the problem and refuses to fix. Many websites show other consumers with same complaints...Such as www.Cadillacforums.Com . Problem costs over $500 to fix and will break again (it is just a small plastic part). It is now at the point where people are posting "how to's" because it is such a persistent and costly problem. I have had to repair three so far. *Tr

Tl*the contact's spouse owns a 2000 cadillac deville. On three separate occasions, the rear passenger, front passenger, and front driver's side windows fell down into the door. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and they replaced the window regulator. The vin was unknown. The current mileage was 26,000 and failure mileage was 8,000.

All four window regulators went out within one year. The repair costs ranged from $487 to $587 each. I researched the parts but because everything is housed in one part for this model it was impossible to find something affordable. The labor was $75. Any number of consequences could occur from the distraction to the driver when the loud pop occurs, from what might enter through the window while driving, or from an accident that may require exiting the vehicle through a window. Only a fool would replace with an old part since these parts do not last that long and cost so much. *Tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 cadillac deville. When the contact removes his foot from the accelerator pedal, the vehicle continues to accelerate on its own. The failure also occurs when idling at a red light or stop sign. The abs traction light illuminates. The vehicle has been inspected by a mechanic. In addition, three of the window regulators failed within a week of each other. Currently, all four windows fail to go up and down properly. The current mileage was 88,627 and failure mileage was 70,000. Remailed 11/14/08. *Lj

The third window regulator broke in vehicle, second this year. *Tr

POWER WINDOW LIFT MECHANISM FAILED. *TR

Normal use of windows. All 4 window regulators failed. Replaced regulators at $350-450 a piece, old parts were available. *Ak

Right rear window emitted a loud "pop", and the window went down. Wedged the window in the up position as I was on my way to fla from new york. Upon my arrival in fla, took it to a dealer and they estimated the repair at $600.00. I refused the repair and dissembled the door and window assembly to find the cable that controls the window to be disconnected due to a flimsy plastic catch that had broken. After several hours I was able to repair the window cable with a metal piece. Clearly this is an engineering flaw(...

Driver side power window failed in the down (open) position during heavy rain. A very fragile plastic connector failed where connected to a cable. The service man commented that this is a very frequent failure on this car. Window came down while on the highway at 70 mph. Causing my coffee to spill on the interior and myself. Cadillac dealer repair cost for window is $550.00. *Jb

Dt*: the contact stated while traveling various speeds or while stationary, the exterior side view mirrors and front roof pillars obstructed the view and created blind spots to the front sides of the vehicle. The contact also mentioned that there were other models which had the side mirrors attached to the door, instead of the window pillar. The contact had noticed many newer model vehicles, such as the nissan versa and mini cooper being manufactured this way. The manufacturer and dealer were not contacted. Updated 12/18/06. *Jb

Dt*: the contact stated the cable mechanism that rolled the power windows up and down failed seven times. On 5-14-01, the driver's and passenger side front power window cables were replaced. On 7-10-03, the driver's side front was replaced. On 9-23-05, the passenger side front was replaced. In may 2006, the passenger side rear was replaced. On 8-22-06, the driver's side rear failed . On 8-28-06, the driver's side front failed again. The dealership was aware and informed the contact the cables were weak and wore out prematurely. Updated 11/21/06. *Jb

Front passenger and rear driver window fell down without warning will not go up. Contacted camargo cadillac to see if covered under extended warranty they will not tell me over the phone said the car had to be brought to them. *Jb

Dt: windows fall down without warning. In all weather conditions had problem fixed on two windows, both front windows. The last one was the passenger side rear. It has not been fixed yet.

Three of the four power windows have broken in the past six months, at seperate times. Each time the window was being rolled down there was a loud pop and the window would not go back up. One I could understand, but three in six months on a $40,000 car is unreasonable.*Ak

While driving at 62 mph vehicle stalled. This caused loss of steering and brakes. Consumer took the vehicle o the dealership several times over the course of a year. The dealer replaced different parts yet the problem recurred. *Ak the coolant level light had a poor connection which caused the then it is moist or damp outside the vehicle sputters and stalls. Coolant light to illuminate. Sometimes the door locks would unlock once the vehicle was placed in park, sometimes they didn't. The vehicles heated...

Passenger side power window failed in the down (open) position during heavy rain. A very fragile plastic connector failed where connected to a cable. The service man commented that this is a very frequent failure on this car. Repair cost $291.50. *Ak

The sun visor doesn't extend forward far enough. As a result, the visor obstructs driver's view. The visor was changed in the newer model year vehicles, but the manufacturer was not willing to resolve the problem although they were aware of visor's defect. *Ak *cb *jb

When driving in rain, the vehicles' sunroof leaks. Consumer feels this is unsafe, cause the drips of the rain falling on them, distracts them. This almost caused an accident. The dealership cannot fix the problem. Ts

Rear electric window works intermittenly. Please give details. *Mr

While driving at a high rate of speed, the windshield wipers stopped working, consumer states it took 4 trips to the dealer to get the problem rectified.*Jb
