2000 BUICK LESABRE Complaints

WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE ON ALL FOUR WINDOWS, AND AGAIN FOR EACH FRONT WINDOW, RESULTING IN INOPERABLE WINDOW, THE LATEST FAILURE WAS TODAY. ALL OTHER FAILURES WERE WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS. *NM

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

FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW DOES NOT OPERATE. REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT OPERATE. SAFETY ISSUE WITH CHILDREN IN CAR ETCETERA. WINDOW DROPPING DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. 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. GM/BUICK SHOULD RECALL PARTS. *NM

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. THE SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS ARE BEING USED. BUICK KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE BUT HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. *JB

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER WINDOW MECHANISM IN ALL 4 WINDOWS OF MY 2000 BUICK LESABRE, AND NOW STARTING AGAIN. *NM

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 A 2000 BUICK LESABRE THAT HAS HAD WINDOW REGULATORS FAILURES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AND RIGHT-HAND REAR WINDOW IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS. THE CAR HAS 65,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. *JB

POWER WINDOW PROBLEMS. NOISE WAS HEARD WHEN LOWERING AND ONE KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. WINDOW WOULD NOT RAISE BACK UP. ONE WINDOW WOULD JERK WHEN LOWERING; IT WOULD NOT LOWER SMOOTHLY (REAR PASSENGER WINDOW). *JB DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW REGULATORS AND REAR PASSENGER REGULATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED OUT OF ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. IN BOTH FRONT WINDOW INCIDENTS ON REPAIR ORDER IT WAS STATED THAT THE REGULATOR CABLE WAS BROKEN NOT ALLOWING WINDOW TO MOVE UP. INCIDENTS DID NOT ALL HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME.

BOTH REAR WINDOWS DROP FOR NO REASON AND DO NOT COME BACK UP. THEY MUST BE MANUALLY PULLED UP AND SECURED. REPAIR IS $400 PER WINDOW. *JB

DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATOR IN BUICK LESABRE (YR. 2000). 2 REPLACED AND 3RD IS POPPING. GM WILL NOT REIMBURSE FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS. *NM
