2000 Buick Lesabre

BASICALLY THE SAME ISSUE AS THE 71 OTHER COMPLAINTS. A FEW WEEKS AGO THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW MAKE A GRINDING NOISE, THEN FELL HALFWAY DOWN. NOW IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. THEN LAST NIGHT THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW DID THE SAME. OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE AUTOMATIC WINDOW ASSEMBLY. ALMOST NO POINT IN PAYING TO GET IT FIXED AS IT SEEMS ANYONE THAT HAS HAD IT FIXED JUST HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN. *JB

BOTH FRONT AND REAR DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW MOTORS HAVE FAILED 3 DAYS APART FROM ONE ANOTHER, AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. REPAIRS TO BOTH WINDOWS HAVE TOTALED $1000 COMBINED. OLD PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED AT A CADILLAC DEALERSHIP. BASED ON OTHER PERFORMANCE REVIEWS, I HAVE SEEN A TREND THAT THIS IS OCCURRING COMMONLY ON THIS VEHICLE, AND REPEATED FAILURE OF THIS PART IS OCCURRING WITH MANY OWNERS. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 BUICK LESABRE. THE CONTACT HAD TO REPLACE THREE OF THE FOUR POWER WINDOWS, AND NOW THE FOURTH WINDOW NEEDED TO BE REPLACED . THE WINDOWS HAD TO BE REPLACED WITHIN THE LAST FOUR YEARS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY COULD NEVER DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITH THE POWER WINDOWS AND THE REGULATOR. THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS WAS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. THE THREE WINDOW REGULATORS HAD TO BE REPLACED OUT OF POCKET BY THE CONSUMER THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT HELP WITH THE COST OF REPAIRS. THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. WHEN THE PROBLEMS FIRST STARTED THE WINDOW WOULD GO UP SLOWLY AND THEN IT WOULD GO OUT. *AK

DT: LAST YEAR WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOW. THERE WAS A POPPING SOUND FIRST ,AND THEN THE WINDOW FELL DOWN. THE CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, WHO INDICATED THAT THEY COULD REPLACE THE WHOLE WINDOW MECHANISM. THERE WAS A WEB MADE OF PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE END OF THE CABLE AND KEEPS WINDOW UP. THIS PIECE OF PLASTIC FAILED. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, WHO ADVISED THE CONSUMER TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED ABOUT CHILDREN WHO COULD BE IN THE BACK OF THE CAR AND GET COLD WHEN THE WINDOW WAS DOWN. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED TO THE CONSUMER AGAIN THIS WEEKEND WHILE DRIVING AT A SHOPPING CENTER, AND HIT A BUMP. THEN HEARD A POPPING AND THEN THE WINDOW CAME DOWN AGAIN. THE CONSUMER WAS GOING TO REPAIR IT HIMSELF.*AK

THE REAR DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW FAILED. THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND THE WINDOW SLID HALF WAY DOWN AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. I TALKED TO MY MECHANIC, AND HE SAID THAT IT WAS A CABLE THAT BROKE. HE KNEW INSTANTLY BECAUSE HE HAD REPLACED MANY OF THEM IN SIMILAR BUICK LESABRES. WE KNOW OF TWO FRIENDS PERSONALLY WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. FOR ONE FRIEND, IT HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE WINDOW IN HER CAR. TO GET IT FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP COST NEARLY $500. IT APPEARS TO US THAT THIS IS A FAULTY PART AND THAT THE AUTO MAKER SHOULD RECALL AND REPAIR IT AT THEIR COST.

I OWN A 2000 BUICK LESABRE. I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOWS. I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING ANOTHER WINDOW MOTOR, THIS IS THE SECOND ONE. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR UNTIL REPAIRS ARE MADE. DON'T YOU THINK A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE FOR THESE REPAIRS AS I HAVE A RELATIVE THAT HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND SHE HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. FROM READING OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF CONSUMERS. WHAT CAN WE DO? I JUST REPLACED ONE, 400.00 CHARGE NOW ANOTHER ONE. AS CONSUMERS WE ARE REQUESTING A RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE WINDOWS FOR ALL BUICKS. I DID NOT KEEP THE LAST OLD PART, BUT WILL KEEP THE NEXT ONE, WHERE DO I SEND IT? *JB

MY 2000 BUICK LASABRE HAS HAD THREE WIDOW REGULATORS FAIL. ONE UNDER WARRANTY, ONE I TALKED THEM INTO PAYING FOR THE PART, AND NOW THE THIRD THAT THEY REFUSE OBSORB ANY OF THE $400 COST. MY WIFE HAS BEEN STRANDED WITHOUT AN AUTOMOBILE FOR FOUR DAYS WAITING ON THE PART. I FINALLY HAD TO GET AN AUTOBODY SHOP TO REPAIR IT (TOMORROW 6/29/2005). SOMEONE IS NOW MAKING AN AFTER MARKET PART THAT IS HALF THE COST, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM PRODUCT.
