Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong with the car really, although service records indicate repairs being done recently on the intake manifold, although I hear that is common. Previous owner had records of repairs and window regulators are fine so far, so I hope I lucked out.

General Comments:

This car is very comfortable, roomy, and luxurious. It handles bumps well, and handles well for it's size, although the rear window does have a bit of a blind spot. Driving this car on the highway is a real treat.

Faults:

Both Rear windows fell in the down position. Had to tape them up and later, I wedged them shut!

Drivers window motor failed. Had to replace it.

I'm on my third battery which is costly and difficult to get to because it us under the rear seat!

General Comments:

Nice running car, but afraid to use the windows!

Faults:

Heated seat on driver side does not work.

Just had the back window fixed on driver's side - went down would not go up.

General Comments:

I have owned Buick's in the past and the best one was a 1986 Century. The second one was a 1991 Buick Lesabre and had all kinds of trouble with it including the air conditioner.

Now the one I own now is a LeSabre and had the power window fixed and the heated seat does not work.

Faults:

The rear window ceased to function. It would go down, but the motor would not then raise it. I had my GM dealer look at it during a service call only to determine that the motor and track (as a unit) would have to be replaced. This replacement ran "over" $500. Feeling this was exhorbitant I elected to have the dealer "fix" the window in the closed position. I have a friend who had "two" windows go in the same fashion. Should this problem constitute a recall on the part of GM?

General Comments:

Generally, I have always felt this was one of the best quality cars made in this country.

Faults:

Both rear electric windows have failed. I put them down for outside air and was not able to get them up again. The failures occurred within 5 weeks of each other. Both were due to the lift cable end pulling out of a cheap plastic casting, but the replacement is a $400 dollar problem (each window). I must conclude that this is an engineering/manufacturing problem. I bought the car on the basis of performance of 2 previous Buicks.

I contacted Buick after the second window failure, and they were very sympathetic to my problem, they just won't do anything about it. I have owned 3 Buicks. The first 2 gave excellent service, but

I don't think I'll buy another. It's painfully obvious why GM is having such problems keeping customers.

What a shame. I have always advised my kids to buy American. Now I won't do that again.
