Window operator failed.

- Kirklin, IN, USA

The major problem with this 2000 Lesabre car has been defective electric windows. Two out of the four windows have failed and required dealer service costing about $400 per window. It is obvious that there is a manufacturing defect in the operating mechanism, as I have owned five previous Buick's and never had a problem with the windows. Buick should initiate a recall and admit that a defect exists and replace these windows, whether in warranty or not.

Windows fall down. Regulator breaks at about $200 a piece.

- Pierre, SD, USA

Purchased a used Buick Lesabre limited 2000. Found that the front right power window was failing. The window regulator doesn't work, and the window repeatedly falls down, must be pulled up with both hands. Looked in www.carsurvey.org/viewcomments_review_52823.html, and found there were dozens of repeating window regulators failures reported in this model, Buick Lesabre limited 2000-2005. This was a consistent and persistent problem that cost about $400 per repair, and may be it was about time this be dealt with seriously by the NHTSA.

The window regulators on my 2000 Buick Lesabre failed today. Now my window will not go up or down and is down all the way. Normally for child safety it is still partially up. Even though I keep my back windows "locked" causing them to be used infrequently it failed. Today is the second time in the last year+ the same regulator has failed. Buick needs to stand behind this as I see countless complaints online and the fact that the window now goes all the way down is a child safety hazard. The cost to repair is said to be $400+ per window.
