2001 BUICK LESABRE Complaints

THE BACK WINDOWS IN A 2001 BUICK LESABRE WONT GO UP AND SLIP DOWN AND I HAVE RESEARCHED HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND I KNOW THERE MUST BE THOUSANDS. THE WIRES GET TANGLED AND THE PLASTIC PARTS BREAK AND CANNOT HOLD THE PRESSURE .THIS IS A SERIOUS FLAW ON THE POWER WINDOWS AND MUST BECOME A NATION WIDE RECALL TO REPLACE MOTORS,PULLEYS,AND ANY OTHER PARTS INVOLVED IN THE WINDOW OPERATIONS. *TR

2001 BUICK LESABRE. I TOO HAVE HAD 3 REGULATOR FAILURES. 2 WERE COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN. THE 3RD JUST OCCURRED. WHY HASN'T' THERE BEEN A RECALL?? *JB

I OWN A 2001 BUICK LESABRE AND BOTH THE BACK WINDOWS HAVE FALLEN DOWN INTO DOOR. *TR

WINDOW REGULATORS ON 2000-2001 BUICKS ARE FAULTY. I HAVE HAD TWO GO OUT AND THE COST IS $450 PER WINDOW. MANY MANY PEOPLE I TALK TO HAVE THE SAME THING HAPPEN WITH THEIR BUICK'S. EVEN THE REPAIR SHOP LAUGHS ABOUT IT AND SAYS THEY ARE JUNK. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED. THE WINDOWS GO DOWN AND STAY THERE UNTIL FIXED. *JB

I OWN TWO 2001 BUICKS - A CENTURY AND A LE SABRE. OVER THE PAST TEN MONTHS, THREE POWER WINDOWS ON THE CENTURY HAVE FAILED, AND TWO IN THE LESABRE. MOST SIMPLY OPENED BY THEMSELVES, WHILE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AND NO LONGER RESPONDED TO THE CONTROLS. SEVERAL WERE STUCK HALFWAY DOWN AND DID NOT GO UP OR DOWN WITH MANUAL MANIPULATION. IN THE FLORIDA HEAT AND SUDDEN SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS, THIS REPRESENTS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS WELL AS A COSTLY ONE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE 2001 BUICK LESABRE HOME THE CAR BEGAN TO MAKE A HIGH PITCH WHINE AND GRINDING NOISE. AT THE SAME TIME THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO TRANSMISSION SHOP, AND I LEARNED THAT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS METAL FATIGUE, AND WHEN ONE OF PARTS BROKE IT DESTROYED THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. THE REPAIR COST WAS 2600. THE CAR ONLY HAD 61000 MILES ON IT, AND HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR ALL BUT 1000 OF THOSE MILES BY MY 95 YEAR OLD GRAND FATHER. *AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 BUICK LESABRE. WHEN THE CONTACT CLICKS THE WINDOW SWITCH, THE WINDOWS ROLL DOWN BUT FAIL TO ROLL UP. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 73,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

WINDOW MOTORS ON ALL FOUR DOORS HAVE QUIT WORKING OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS. WE HAVE THREE REPLACED AND NOW TWO MORE ARE BROKEN FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF FIVE WINDOW MOTORS. LOCAL DEALER HAS BECOME USELESS ON THIS MATTER AND NEITHER GM NOR THE BUICK DIVISION HAVE RESPONDED TO MULTIPLE INQUIRIES. WE HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO SUPPORT AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY GM. THE PERCIVED "WE DON'T CARE" ATTITUDE HAS DEFINATELY CHANGED OUR THOUGHT PROCESS ABOUT OUR FUTURE VEHICLE PURCHASES.

POWER WINDOW DOES NOT GO UP AT 88,000 MILES. THIS IS THE 3RD WINDOW TO BREAK, WITH EACH REPAIR COSTING APPROXIMATELY $400. BOTH REAR WINDOWS BROKE, WHICH ARE HARDLY USED. *AK

2001 BUICK LESABRE/TRANSMISSION TORE UP 2007/I HAVE TALKED WITH SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MY CAR SERVICED REGULARLY/COMPLETE SERVICE EVERYTIME/ALL FLUIDS. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT REBUILT AT A COST OF $1200.00. A CAR SUCH AS THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE OLD AT TODAY'S STANDARDS AND FOR A TRANSMISSION TO TEAR UP COMPLETELY-TO SAY THE LEAST I HAVE QUESTIONS. *TR
