2001 Pontiac Bonneville SE review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both rear windows dropped within 4 days of each other due to a cheap plastic part breaking. Then they get you to buy a complete new regulator assembly at over $300 each. My car has about 68K miles and if the rear windows have been up and down more than 100 times each I would be surprised. My neighbour also had this on his Bonneville.
Because of the "high" mileage (~68K!!!) they will not offer any assistance in rectifying what appears to be a regular problem. After living with a 99 Chevy Malibu that had just about every problem discussed on car forums, I think that after 20 plus years of only having GM cars it is time to look elsewhere.
