2000 BUICK LESABRE Complaints

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

REAR PASSENGER DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FAILED IN DOWN POSITION. IT SEEMS THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. *NM

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

POWER WINDOW CONTROLS: ALL 4 WINDOWS FAILED BETWEEN AUG 2004 AND MAY 2006. THERE ARE ALREADY 104 REGISTERED COMPLAINTS IN THIS DATABASE FOR THIS ISSUE ON THIS CAR MODEL. THE MANUFACTURER HAS ISSUED TECH BULLETINS TO DEALERS BUT WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PUBLICS' REQUESTS FOR REMUNERATION. DEALERSHIPS CHARGE BETWEEN $400-$600 TO REPAIR EACH WINDOW, AND THE REPAIR MAY ALSO FAIL. *NM

PURCHASED NEW 2000 BUICK LESABRE. ON OCT 4, 2001 THE FRONT RIGHT AND LEFT WINDOWS GOT STUCK. BOTH WINDOW REGULATORS WERE REPLACED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. ON MAR 03, 2003 THE RIGHT FRONT WINDOW REGULATOR AND LOCKING ROD HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRATION, BOTH REAR WINDOWS GOT STUCK ON SAME DAY AND BOTH WINDOW REGULATORS HAD TO BE REPLACED, THIS TIME AT MY EXPENSE. CURRENTLY THE RIGHT FRONT WINDOW IS AGAIN GETTING STUCK INTERMITTENTLY. THIS WINDOW HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AGAIN AT THIS TIME. *NM

BOUGHT 2000 LESABRE NEW IN OCT 1999. WIFE'S CAR AND ONLY HAS 69000 MI ON IT NOW. NO CHILDREN USING THE CAR. NO CHILDREN AT HOME, RARELY ANY PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. NOW..TO DATE ALL FOUR WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT A TOTAL COST OF OVER $1,600.00. 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! IT IS HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE AREN'T MORE INCIDENTS OF THESE REGULATOR FAILURES. I CAN'T BE THE ONE THAT GOT ALL THE BAD REGULATORS. *NM

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. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH BUICK LESABRE'S. IT'S A VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM...ABOUT $600 TO REPLACE!! IF YOU DO A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET FOR "BUICK LESABRE WINDOW PROBLEMS" YOU CAN READ HOW COMMON THIS IS AND I THINK THIS IS DEFINITELY A RECALL ISSUE. *JB
