SINCE I BOUGHT THE BUICK LESABRE IN 2002 ALL 4 WINDOWS HAVE HAD DEFECTIVE MOTORS IN THEM. I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND THEY SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR ALL THE TIME AND MONEY IT HAS COST ME TO HAVE THESE WINDOWS FIXED. THEY HAVE ALL FAILED WITH IN A YEARS TIME DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE MOTOR UNLESS THEY ACTUALLY SAW IT WHEN THE MOTOR WAS STUCK AND NOT WORKING. I LIVE OVER 50 MILES AWAY FROM THE DEALER AND I HAD TO RUSH OVER THERE SO THEY COULD SEE THE WINDOWS WHEN THEY WOULDNT OPERATE. I HAD 3 OF THE 4 WINDOW MOTORS REPLACED BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE LAST WINDOW BECAUSE IT WASNT STICKING AT THE TIME I BROUGHT IT IN. NOW THE 4TH WINDOW IS BROKEN AND IT WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN YET MY WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT. I PAID 100.00 EVERY TIME THEY TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR. I HAD TO GET A RENTAL VEHICLE EACH TIME I TOOK IT IN BECAUSE IT TOOK THEM OVER 24 HOURS TO REPLACE THE MOTOR IN THE WINDOW. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURE AND I HAVE HEARD THAT MY BUICK IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THOSE SAME PROBLEMS. I FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE MONEY I HAVE HAD TO SPEND TO FIX THE WINDOWS AND THEY SHOULD FIX MY 4TH WINDOW BECAUSE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. I DID COMPLAIN AND TOLD THE DEALER SHIP TO NOTE THAT I SAID ALL 4 WINDOWS WERE DEFECTIVE BUT I HAVENT BEEN REIMBURSED YET, AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX MY 4TH WINDOW UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS NOT SHOWING SIGNS OF THE DEFECT AT THE TIME.*AK
