VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
REAR LEFT HAND SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR HAS FAILED ON OUR 2001 BUICK LESABRE--WE HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHER LESABRE OWNERS HAVE HAD TO REPEATEDLY REPLACE SAME WINDOW REGULATOR (ON ALL 4 AND OFTEN MORE THAN ONCE) AND THE COST IS VERY HIGH TO DO SO. IT IS THE OPINION OF ALL THESE OWNERS AND MYSELF THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE BY BUICK AND THAT THEY ARE UNFAIRLY CHARGING THE CONSUMER UPWARDS OF $400-$500 FOR THE REPAIR OF SOMETHING THAT IS UNDERSTOOD TO BE A DEFECTIVE (AT THE LEAST POORLY MADE) PART!!*JB

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
MY BACK RIGHT POWER WINDOW ON MY 2001 BUICK LESABRE CUSTOM DOES NOT ROLL UP. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE BACK LEFT WINDOW AT A COST OF $600-WHAT A RIP OFF BY BUICK-THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL-I HAVE READ 100'S OF COMMENTS REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND BUICK TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY--THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE CHEAP PLASTIC PARTS USED IN THESE EXPENSIVE PRICED CARS! I NEVER USE THE BACK WINDOWS-THIS IS PROBABLY ONLY THE 8TH TIME SINCE 2001 THAT I HAVE EVEN ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN. HOW CAN THE DEALER CHARGE SUCH AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT TO REPAIR WHEN THE PART ONLY COSTS $99.00? GM SHOULD BE ASHAMED. I WON'T BUY ANOTHER BUICK. *JB

I HAVE OWNED MY 2000 BUICK LESABRE LIMITED FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND I HAVE HAD 3 WINDOW REGULATORS GO OUT AND I DON'T HARDLY USE THE POWER WINDOWS. IT'S A CHEAP PLASTIC PART IN THE ASSEMBLY THAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM. AN ESTIMATED PRICE OF 500.00 TO FIX I'VE DECIDED TO LET THEM STAY UP AS TO GETTING THEM FIXED WITH THE SAME FAULTY PARTS DOES NOT GUARANTEE THEY WILL NOT BREAK OR FAIL AGAIN. *JB

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
BEGAN WITH A VIBRATION IN THE REAR OF THE CAR. IT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP THE FIRST THING WE NOTICED WAS THE LEFT REAR TIRE WAS SIGNIFICANTLY OUT OF ROUND, LARGE BUBBLE ON INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF TIRE, TREADS WERE WARPED, BELTS SEPARATED. I AM VERY LUCKY THE TIRE DID NOT BLOW OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE TIRES HAVE 39K MILES ON THEM. *JB

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
2001 BUICK LESABRE (42K MILES) THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR AND MOTOR FAILED WITH THE WINDOW IN THE DOWN POSITION. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE $330 FOR THE PART. I DECIDED TO FIX ON MY OWN BY ORDERING THE PART ONLINE FOR $100. I INSPECTED THE ORIGINAL AND NOTED THE USE OF PLASTIC TO DRIVE THE CABLE IN THE MOTOR HOUSING. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW - THERE IS NO WAY THIS WILL HOLD UP TO TIME AND USE. UNLESS THIS IS REVIEWED AND ADDRESSED BY THIS COMMISSION I WILL HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING WITH THE SAME PROBLEMATIC PARTS. GIVEN THE LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I BELIEVE THIS WARRANTS A REVIEW. THANKS. *JB
