2001 Buick LeSabre Limited review from North America
"Great car, with one major problem"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Thanks to everyone for posting the messages about the window problem. It's really helped a lot to know that we're not alone in having that window regulator problem.
Even more, thanks for the information about where to get a replacement window regulator and a quick explanation about how to get into the door panel to make the repair (I can do repairs on mechanics, but getting into a door or dashboard is daunting to me).
So far, we've had only one window go out -- but we have two, 2001 Le Sabres. I may stock up on the window regulators. :)
Also, one of the cars has a problem with the LED lighting on the dashboard -- but I think I know why they go out (voltage spikes) and will look into limiting the voltage so it can't happen (The LEDs should last 10 times longer than the car.)
