What owners wrote

I purchased a 1999 buick regal ls new. I have had to replace the front driver side and rear driver side power door locks in the past. My biggest concern is that I currently have the front drivers side as well as the rear passenger windows falling down with the power windows not working at all. I also have the front passenger window not working but at least that one window stays up. I fear for our safety due to the windows falling down at any given time. This has happened to my wife several times while driving.
