2000 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
"Good car except for window problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I've owned the car I have replaced three coil packs.
I have replaced both of the front window regulators. The manufacturing defect is a small plastic piece on the cable. It breaks, moves down the cable binds in a pulley, then breaks the cable. The regulator assembly cost $265. You can get a re-manufactured one off of ebay for about $150.
The automatic trunk release quit working. The problem was the release mechanism in the trunk.
There have also been a couple of recalls on this vehicle.
General comments?
The handling and ride of this vehicle are very good.
