I HAVE A TWO DOOR GRAND AM AND BOTH WINDOWS ARE MESSED UP WHERE THEY WILL NOT POWER UP OR DOWN. THIS HAS PREVIOUSLY HAPPENED TO ME WHERE A PLASTIC BRACKET SNAPPED OFF INSIDE THE DOOR CAUSING THE WINDOW TO NOT WORK. THE WINDOW IS OFF THE TRACK AND SOMETHING IS BROKEN ON THE INSIDE CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH PONTIAC GRAND AMS. IT HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED BUT GM HAS NOT ISSUED ANY RECALL ON IT. I FEEL IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS I CAN'T USE EITHER WINDOW, DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE, IN MY CAR.
