VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR ON MY 2002 BUICK LESABRE HAVE FAILED THREE TIMES. THE FIRST WAS THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WHICH WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER FOR $550.00. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FAILED. THIS WAS FIXED BY ME AFTER DOING SOME RESEACH ON HOW TO REPAIR THIS ITEM. NOW THE SAME WINDOW HAS BROKE AGAIN AND I WILL FIX IT AGAIN, BUT IN DOING MORE RESEARCH I HAVE COME ACROSS A SITE ON THE INTERNET THAT HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY IN THE BUICK LESABRE AND I FEEL THAT I SHOULD FILE MY COMPLAINT BECAUE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN/MANUFACTURING DEFECT FROM GMC. *JB

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I PURCHASED A 2002 BUICK LESABRE ON FEB 10, 2006 WITH 26,000 MILES FROM A BUICK DEALER. SINCE THEN TWO WINDOW MOTORS HAVE FAILED, COSTING ME AROUND $900. IT SEEMS THAT A $450 REPAIR BILL IS THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS, THE WINDOW CANNOT STAY UP OTHERWISE. TWO WINDOWS IN LESS THEN A YEAR, NO HELP FROM BUICK. PATHETIC. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
REAR DOOR WINDOW RIGHT CAME DOWN AND WILL NOT GO BACK UP. CABLE BROKE. REPLACED REGULATOR, REAR DOW WINDOW RIGHT BOWER R&R. PART 15231244 UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. IF I HAD NOT PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, THIS WOULD HAVE COME OUT OF MY POCKET. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THEY HAVE REPLACE PARTS FOR VARIOUS WINDOWS IN THIS CAR. ANOTHER WINDOW IS HAVING INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE, SO IT WILL PROBLABLY GO TOO. THIS IS HAPPENING TOO OFTEN AND AN INTERNET SEARCH SHOW MANY LESABRE OWNERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS MULTIPLE TIMES.

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I JUST NOTICED MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WAS DOWN. I NEVER USE THE REAR WINDOWS. I COULD NOT RAISE IT WITH THE POWER BUTTON. MY FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE CONTROLS AT ALL. MY CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH WENT OUT WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES. THE REPAIR SHOP HAS HAD SEVERAL OF THESE AND INTERNET MESSAGE BOARDS WERE AMAZING. SOME PEOPLE REPORTED AS MANY AS 3 SEPARATE OCCURRENCES OF WINDOW FAILURE( OR WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE).JB
