LeSabre V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,000 miles

I have had this car 3 years and I have had to replace the regulator on the drivers side door once and the passenger side twice. Really Bad design

problem #6

Jul 012012

LeSabre Limited 3.8L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 86,000 miles

Window regulator made well except for plastic piece that broke into several pieces.

Was able to use two of these pieces and secured them next to small wheel that holds the cable wire by using duct tape. Have raised and lowered window multiple times and it works great. Try this solution if you enjoy being creative.

problem #3

Nov 012009

LeSabre LS 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 175,000 miles

The motor in the rear passenger window went out twice and in the rear driver's side window 3 times. I finally started buying used parts, since the new ones were only warranted for a year and then they would go out and I would have to replace again at my cost. I will list this as 5 separate occurrences.

LeSabre

  • Automatic transmission
  • 52,034 miles

This is the SECOND window regulator and motor that have failed in this car. First it was the left rear window and now the right rear window, each repair at about $400. There is definitely a problem with the power window systems on this car. The windows are very seldom used. I'm sure the drivers window will break next.
