THE WINDOW REGULATORS ON MY 2000 BUICK LESABRE FAILED TODAY. NOW MY WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN AND IS DOWN ALL THE WAY. NORMALLY FOR CHILD SAFETY IT IS STILL PARTIALLY UP. EVEN THOUGH I KEEP MY BACK WINDOWS "LOCKED" CAUSING THEM TO BE USED INFREQUENTLY IT FAILED. TODAY IS THE SECOND TIME IN THE LAST YEAR+ THE SAME REGULATOR HAS FAILED. BUICK NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THIS AS I SEE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND THE FACT THAT THE WINDOW NOW GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN IS A CHILD SAFETY HAZARD.

BOUGHT 2000 MODEL BUICK LESABRE IN 2003 WITH 32000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD 3 POWER WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL (TWO BACK WINDOWS AND NOW THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW).

I HAVE A 2000 BUICK LESABRE WITH 52000 MILES ON IT. WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS BELOW 1/2 TANK IT STARTS MOVING ERRATICALLY. IT WILL MOVE UP TO FULL AND THEN DROP DOWN TO 1/4 TANK, JUST MOVES BACK AND FORTH SO BELOW 1/2 TANK I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE. IT ALSO CONFUSES THE FUEL SYSTEM COMPUTER IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER SO THAT IS NOT RELIABLE EITHER. I JUST HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF MY MILEAGE AND BASED ON FUEL ECONOMY I DETERMINE WHEN I NEED TO BUY GAS. I CAN'T FIND ANY RECALL INFORMATION FOR THE 2000 MODEL BUT READ SOME WHERE THAT A LATER YEAR MODEL HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK WHERE THE SENSOR IS LOCATED. THIS IS NOT ONLY FAULTY ENGINEERING IT IS INCOMPETENT ENGINEERING. *JB

LEFT PASSENGER WINDOW DROPPED DOWN, REGULATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED; THIS IS A PRETTY OBVIOUS MALFUNCTION OF THE REGULATORS SINCE WHAT IT HOLDS THE GLASS IS A VERY DELICATE PLASTIC PART. I HAVE DONE SO MUCH RESEARCH ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS TYPE OF ISSUES FROM MODEL'S YEARS RANGING 2000-2004. NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE TO SOLVE OR BETTER IMPROVE THE PART THAT CAUSES THE WINDOW GLASS TO DROP DOWN.*JB

DEALER STATED THERE IS A "WIDE RANGE" OF WINDOW ISSUES WITH THE BUICK LESABRE MODEL 2000-2005. NO DEALER RECALL ISSUED. $600 FOR REPAIR - MANY COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET.

POWER WINDOW FAILURE. BACK DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT CLOSE AFTER BEING OPENED. THIS IS THE FOURTH WINDOW REGULATOR WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE. EVERY WINDOW REGULATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED AT THE BUICK DEALERSHIP. THE COST FOR EACH INCIDENT IS OVER $300. ASKED SERVICE TECHNICIAN IF A REDESIGNED PART OR THE SAME PARTS WERE BEING USED. THEY STATED THE SAME PARTS WERE BEING USED AND THIS IS BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. WHAT UPSETS ME THE MOST IS THE REGULATORS OVER TIME WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN.

2000 BUICK LESABRE, AUTOMATIC WINDOW REGULATOR/MOTOR FAILED ON TWO WINDOWS AND WAS REPLACED FOR COST OF 400. PER WINDOW. UNDERSTAND THAT THIS DEFECT IS KNOWN BY BUICK BUT WAS NEVER RECALLED. IT'S A SHAME THAT AN OTHERWISE GOOD VEHICLE HAS THIS FAULT WHICH IS QUITE COSTLY AND WIDESPREAD. WE GOT VEHICLE FROM RELATIVES ESTATE, WHEN WE GOT THE CAR WE FOUND OUT THAT A WINDOW MOTOR HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED. COULD BE HAZARDOUS IF CHILDREN ARE IN BACK SEAT AND WINDOW DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY, WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENS. *NM

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

TWICE IN 6 MONTHS THE WINDOW REGULATOR HAS BROKEN. *JB

VACATIONING IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA THE CAR BEGAN TO SHIFT ROUGHLY FROM PARK OR REVERSE TO DRIVE. WITHIN A FEW MILES IT BEGAN TO LURCH WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. I PULLED OFF THE ROADWAY, TRANSMISSION WAS MAKING A RUMBLING NOISE AND FAILED. NO MOVEMENT IN ANY GEAR. *JB

THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WENT FIRST IN 2003, IN 2006 ALL THREE REMAINING WINDOW WENT OUT WITHIN MONTHS OF EACH OTHER, THESE WINDOWS ALMOST NEVER WERE USED!

LAST FRIDAY WHEN I WAS TRYING TO ROLL UP MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW I HEARD A POP AND IT STOPPED WORKING. I TRIED PULLING THE WINDOW UP BY HAND FOR SAFETY REASONS AND IT WILL NOT STAY UP.
