| I have a 2003 buick lesabre. two months ago my drivers side window stopped working and would not go back up. i had to have the complete window controll replaced. i looked on the internet and found that many many people have reported having the same problem. yesterday my front passenger.side window did the same thing. it also won't go up either, so obviously now i'm going to have to do the same thing with it. | |||

| Dashboard separation in front of the steering column and it is now separating toward the passenger cabin, it is my concern that this will cause the passenger airbag to deploy while in motion, this started around july of 2011 and i have researched and found numerous other buick owners with this same complaint down to the minute detail. | |||
