| I am very upset with my 2000 buick lesabre. today, the window on the passenger side went down and would not come back up. this is the 6th, yes 6th window that has broken on this vehicle. the first 2 were covered under the warrant. the last 3 were not, we had to pay for them to be replaced. now, it has occurred again. my husband went by the dealer today to see how much just the part would cost to see if he did it himself we could save money. they want $384 for just the part, the labor wasn't included. we called autozone and napa to see how much they charge, which is much less. any where between $130 - $180. i contacted buick directly when this first start occurring and they were not supportive at all. the really don't care. since the first couple were covered. they told me that i should have bought the extended warranty. even since the 3rd was right after my 3yrs was up. i have done alot of searching on the web and found a website with over 100 people who have had the same problems. i am sure that there are thousands, and thousands of people just like me and many other websites. gm needs to own up to this default power window regulator and recall these cars for a part that works as it should. i have included the website where a found your website information along with many, many other very unhappy lesabre owner. *tr | |||

| 2000 buick lesabre rear window failure and window will not stay in the up position, which is the location of our child's child seat at the rear seat area. this is indeed a safety issue and there are thousands of failures related to this problem; as indicated by various internet sites. *tr | |||

| 2000 buick lesabre with power window problems**nar**cc the left window dropped and would not go up. the window regulator cable was tangled in the plastic pulley. two months after the first failure, the left front window started making a grinding noise while trying to close it, and it became stuck in an open position. the regulator had to be replace again. one month later, the right rear window dropped and the regulator was replaced needed to be replaced. most recently, the right front window would not close. *jb | |||

| All 4 power window regulators have failed at different times, leaving no emergency exit-let alone the inconveniece at drive-up windows. i also feel that it is a rip-off that not only do you have to buy both regulator with motor (although you can buy the motor alone), you have to buy them at the dealer. *ak | |||

| All 4 window regulators on my 2000 lesabre have gone out---for no apparent reason & no warning. adding insult to injury, i cannot buy just the bad part, but i have to buy the motor, too! at approximately $350.00 per window.....well---it's very embarrassing. rear windows are now being kept in up position with suction cups & door-stops! looks bad for buick--quite tacky!yes, i still have the parts.....in the trunk! (along with a door panel). the windows were scratched trying to get them into 'up' position. otherwise the car couldn't be locked & secured. *ak | |||

| All the windows in this vehicle have failed due to a factory defect. the front passenger window failed twice. the front driver side window failed three times. the fault is within the motor. *jg | |||
