| Tl-the contact owns a 2003 buick lesabre. while driving at approximately 55 mph the rear passenger side window involuntarily went down. the vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop where the rear passenger window and the regulator motor assembly were replaced. the independent repair shop also informed the contact that the regulator motor assembly was defective and the failure would most likely recur in all of the other windows. the failure has since recurred on the drivers side rear window as well as the passenger side front window. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where both windows and regulator motor assemblies were replaced. the failure mileage was 25,000 and the current mileage was 48,000. sm. | |||

| I purchased the car on a cloudy day. when i did, i did not realize that there was a scratch in the windshield. when i took it back to the dealer, they told me it was a used car, it was sold as is. it was my responsibility, not theirs. i think it is irresponsible of them to sell a car with a scratched windshield. *tr | |||

| I had a problem with the power window on my 2003 buick lesabre. i have had to replace the window regulator motor assembly. it seems that the cable which raises and lowers the window is attached to a plastic part, which fails. poor quality construction. *tr | |||

| Dashboard on this car is separating near steering wheel. concerned that this could eventually impair visibility and could affect the functioning of the air bags. hope we don't need to wait till there are injuries or fatalities before gm decides to recall this problem and make the necessary repairs on these cars. owned 1997 century that had no problems. very disappointed as rest of the car is still in great shape. currently has under 50k miles on the vehicle. | |||

| The dash cover is separating ahead of the steering wheel. the dash is raising up starting to cause visibility issues. very concerned that this may go across the dash into the airbag area and cause the airbags to deploy in normal driving conditions | |||
