This was the third of 4 power windows that went out in this car. The invonvenience and cost were outrageous. I will never buy a Buick again because of this car.
Very inconvenient problem. Very expensive to fix. Car was just out of warranty and the right side rear window just quit working in the down position.Very expensive to fix---$500!!!!!
This was the second power window failure in a few months. It cost another $500. Total cost of window failure is now $1000. This is just horrible engineering because the rear windows were almost never used.
The car has been a good car except for the window regulators. Had to have all window regulators replaced. One was replaced twice and had work done one before having the regulator replaced.
Now this the third window with the regulator broken . one 2006 , Another Dec,2,2009 the other one a week later. After this I don't know if I want another LESABRE.
This a real pain in the ass for me . With my grand kids in the car most of the time . I never know when a window will drop down .
Typical GM....I have lost all use of three windows in my 2001 Buick LeSabre. First the drivers rear window went out then the passenger rear, now the front passenger side. GM knows it has a problem but will not fix. Next time I will be glad to take my chances with a Toyota. No more Government Motors for me.
This is the second rear window to fail in the last 6 months. I cannot believe a car this nice would have the same problem twice within a thousand miles! The first time I figured ok things happen and posted it on here seeing a few others. However, after encountering the same problem I am beyond frustrated. These windows hardly get used so wear in tear with them being in the upright position is ridiculous. Please fix this issue. Paying $180 and part for each window plus installation is absurd when this seems to be a common occurrence around the 75k mark.
It has been one thing after another with this car and this is just one more thing...we bought it used three and a half years ago and it always is needing some sort of attention.
So I am casually searching online for replacement parts for my window regulator that all of a sudden stopped working. One day on my way home from school my window just lowered itself and would not rise. Sounds as if the motor is still functioning but is "not connected" to the window. I am reading that it is some stupid plastic piece out of the entire window that is going to cost me a minimum of $200.00 including labor. I like my car but hearing stories of this occurring 2-3 times is ridiculous. Please fix this problem!!!!!
rear windows failed when tried to lower them, I can hear the motor running, but I have had to tape the windows up. I have been reading that there is a cheap plastic part that is failing and that GM has decided to ignore the problem.
This will definitely be a deciding factor before I buy another GM vehicle.
Dates not correct. The window motor broke on my 2001 Buick LeSabre while it was under warrenty. The dealer admitted that it was a "known" problem, and that my other window motor would probably also stop working. He replaced all window motors for free.
This problem has happened before!!This is the second time, different window. Really can't afford to get this fixed right now! This car is not yet paid for and you'd think Buick would man up and fix these problems. I can't catch a break!!!! The first time, the part cost almost $300, luckily a friend fixed it for ffree, sure hope I can find him again!!
