2001 Buick LeSabre from North America - Comments

Bought my 2002 Buick LeSabre 4 months ago used. So far it has been great until today when my driver's side rear passenger window just dropped. The car has 83,000 miles on it. I was wondering if anyone has found a replacement regulator that has not broken since being replaced? I was thinking that by now a company has made a better regulator?

Check eBay. They have dozens listed for sale, most for under $100 and many have warranties.

I have a 2003 LeSabre with 69000 miles, and I just ordered regulator #5 tonight. I have replaced all 4, and now the drivers window for the second time. I paid $69.10 for it.

I started work as a mechanic in a Ford Dealership in 1964, and worked in the business until retirement, and I have never seen anything like this before. I don't like the situation at all, especially after the politicians are using my tax money to bail out a company that makes junk like that, and refuses to do anything about it.

I've had the same problem with the window regulators - I haven't even had the car a week and the back driver regulator broke. I was washing the car & noticed the back window was down 1/4". I put the key in the ignition to roll it up & heard a "Clunk!". I looked back and the window was wide open. I took the door apart and found the cable is broke on the top side. I hope I can figure out a way to fix it, I don't want even pay $60 for a new one - I'm afraid it'll have the same problem!

Oh - BTW - This LeSabre only has 73,000 miles on it. I hope I don't experience the intake problems others seem to have!

Purchased our 2001 LeSabre used with 20,000 miles, and now have over 265,000 miles on it. Never had any window problems, but have replaced the transmission, two water pumps, alternator, and almost everything else except the motor. Headlights just shut off sometimes when changing from brights to dims. Have always owned GM vehicles, but won't buy another Buick.
