I have a 2000 Buick Lesabre and the rear window regulators were made poorly and the plastic that holds the cable in broke, so far on both back doors. This should be a recall item since so many people have this problem. The dealer wants over $400 to repair that would be over $800 and they will break again in time due to poor construction. I have a part ordered for one, and will have to repair the other when I can afford it. One broke on the 4th of Sept and the other went the next day. After going online I found that this is a big problem for Buick owners. I am the 2nd owner and it looks like the left side is newer by the looks of the plastic gear that the cable rolls around in the motor, so this could be the 2nd time it is replaced.

I have owned a 2000 Buick Lesabre for 2 1/2 years. I have now had (3) door window motors fail during this time period. The cost for repair is over $400 each!

Power window assembly on the passenger's side front door have to be replaced for the second time as the cables become entangled and cause the mechanism to bend to the point where it will no longer lift the window. This has happened an all of the doors (4) and now on this door for the second time. It costs a minimum of $300 to $400 to for parts and labor to get the window back in working order. I have now spent over $1200 and am looking at another $300 to $400 for this same problem. I have also been told by the body shops that this is a common problem with the Buick Lesabre's. it is no wonder GM is not selling the vehicles that they used to here in the states. This is totally disgusting and frustrating.

I am on my 6th window assembly replacement. Why would they want to keep putting the same defective parts back into your car? the last one I had to pay for at $400. The other 4 were under warranty, the first at 17,000. Now, I am going to not have this one repaired as I cannot afford it. Guess when it's 125 degrees in my car in the summer I'll just have to open all the doors to cool it off! can't put the windows down!
