2002 Buick LeSabre Limited from North America - Comments

I like many before me have a drivers side rear window drop. Like many other's its hardly been used. My wife and I have no kids living in the house and hardly ever have passenger's. I pulled the door panel off too see what the problem was. I found for the first time in all my mechanicing years and ability that they used cable too operated the window up and down. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. I found this site looking for info on the repair. I'm not looking for someone to do it nor too pay anyone. I'm just looking for some instruction's on the operation. I feel if Buick has this much problem with window regulator's they need too make it right. Thing's like this will keep me from buying another one. I also have troubles with a steering stabilizer light coming on. Talking with a Mechanic friend of mine it's all in the strut and a few hundred dollars to replace. The ride is fine so I let the light burn.

Over all we love the ride the performance. Love the looks. But I want a car that isn't going to cost me more than it's worth too maintain. My next one will be a Cadillac STS.

I am puzzled by this review. The only problems you mention are a rear power window failure (which you say you never use, so prop it up) and an issue with the steering. These are both minor repairs which would cost about $600 to repair. This is not a lot of money where repairing cars is concerned. Taking into consideration your car has over 100,000 miles you should consider yourself lucky. If you expect the car to be flawless, you might want to park it in the garage and not drive it because any car with over 100,000 miles (including the STS) is going to have some mechanical issues. And over this you say you will never buy another Buick, I'd hate to see how you feel if you have a real problem like a transmission failure.

Funny. I drive a car with over 100K miles, and have had NO mechanical or electrical issues. It sounds and drives like the day I drove it off the lot. That is what I expect.

By the way, the car is a Honda.

Sorry to burst your bubble. I had a Mercury Grand Marquis that used cables for the power windows, so not that uncommon. To the Honda guy. Glad you have a good ride. My Buick is one of the best cars I have owned. I would have to guess you have at least changed the oil, tires, etc. If not I would like to know where you actually drive.
