DURING 2004-2005 THREE ELECTRIC WINDOW REGULATORS FAILED. THIS 2000 BUICK LE SABER CUSTOM AT THAT TIME HAD 38,000 TO 45,000 MILES ( CURRENTLY 79,000). IN MAY, 2007 THE REAR WINDSHIELD FELL APART. THE DEALERS REFUSED TO OFFER ANY HELP SO I PAID APPROX 400 TO 600 PER INCIDENT FOR THE REGULATORS. THERE SEEMS TO BE A DISTINCT PATTERN WITH THESE UNITS AND I BELIEVE ARE DEFECTIVE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS HERE V,S. SOME OTHER ISSUES THE MFG COVERS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
NOISE HAD OCCURRED UPON SLOWING AND BRAKING, SO I TOOK IT TO A DEALER. A PERSON FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT RODE WITH ME BUT THE PROBLEM DID NOT HAPPEN (PERHAPS DUE TO THE LIGHT RAIN). TWO DAYS LATER I MADE A TRIP INTO ATLANTA. THE FRONT BRAKES SOUNDED AS THOUGH THEY WERE GRINDING AT ALL SPEEDS. A TIRE DEALER IN DECATUR (NEAREST MY LOCATION AT THE TIME) REPLACED BOTH FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS (36,000 MILES). THE PROBLEM IS BACK. EXAMINATION OF ALL FOUR BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS SHOWS NO GOUGING OF THE ROTOR AND PLENTY OF PAD REMAINING ON ALL 8 PADS; THEY APPEAR TO BE PRACTICALLY NEW (48,000 MILES). *JB
