Faults:

Very disappointed. Persistent problems and big buck annoying repairs all unusual according to dealer (but seem to be too common from what I now see on the web from other owners). My problems: right front wheel bearing went out at 42,000; passenger window mechanical problem at 45,000; left front wheel bearing at 52,000; cruise control switch went at 40,000. Can't wait to see what happens next.

General Comments:

On the other hand, comfort is great, but doesn't offset mechanical problem expense and inconvenience.

Faults:

I too have had now three power windows go. I am appraoching$1,000.00 on expenses. Has anyone ever approached GM about this? Is there ant recourse?

Faults:

Door regulator malfunctioned for no apparent reason. I've replaced one back and now must replace another. I've found this to be a very common problem.

General Comments:

Talked to several sales to order another door regulator-several sales people said there should be a recall on these regulators (each regulator is $300. plus tax.

Faults:

Headlights have burned out several times.

Interior plastics crack very easily.

It doesn't start up very well in cold weather.

One day, when I was at a red light the car just stalled. This could have been very dangerous.

General Comments:

The car is fairly comfortable, although it is very unreliable. I bought this car new and I am very disappointed.

Faults:

Have had intake plenum gasket and studs replaced under warranty.

All four window regulators have failed!

The cabin air filter shown on the window sticker did not exist on the vehicle.

General Comments:

The window regulators and the intake plenum leaking on this vehicle are common with other owners. GM should step up and recall these vehicles to affect a proper repair to insure customer satisfaction.

GM Customer Assistance is not helpful. They would not have the dealer install the missing cabin air filter mentioned earlier that the vehicle was supposed to be equipped with.

Faults:

All four windows have went out on this car. Ironically, the first two windows to go out were the rear windows which I never used. The window motor has a plastic gear that will not hold under pressure. Replacing the motor is only a temporary fix as the new motor has the same plastic gear.

This car leaks with the slightest rain and the carpets become soaked. No one has been able to find the source of the leak. I have to shampoo the carpets regularly to avoid a mildew smell.

The check engine light is always lit due to an emissions leak. No service repair shop can locate the source of the emissions leak.

I have had to replace the coil pack several times on this vehicle.

General Comments:

The only positive thing I can say about the car is the smooth ride. I bought this Buick because of the reputation for quality that Buick has, but I will never buy another Buick. Buick is aware of the faulty window motors on this model Le Sabre, but refuses to recall.
