2002 Buick LeSabre Custom from North America - Comments

This car is typical of what I have been getting. I have had Plymouths/Chryslers/Dodges- they don't know how to make AC's or transmissions that last. So I tried a Buick I have had ways tried to buy American, but I give up. Toyota Honda and Nissan from now on. The transmission on this car went out at 38,000 miles. Unbelievable. Warranty to 30,000 miles.

I have replaced 3 of the 4 window motors. Bought aftermarket to save on the cost - our local repair guys want in excess of $350 per door. Its not easy, but lots cheaper.

Had to replace the AC condenser this spring. $900.

I just tore out part of my dash because the instrument cluster went out. It started blinking off while driving down the road once in a while that went on for several months and the last time it never came back.

This car is great for families and business if you don't mind spending to repair it often.

I have the same car and have replaced 3 out of 4 power regulators, it is not cheap and has always been a problem with Buicks which they don't seem to correct.

Always a problem with Buicks huh? The unit was used on 1 model (LeSabre) from 2000 through 2002. I have never had a window issue with my 1999 Park Avenue and I will not hesitate to buy another Buick. On the used market I could buy a Park Avenue for about the same price as a Camry or Accord from the same year. I for one wouldn't even consider those over priced "me too mid-sizers". The Buick just offers soo much more with equal reliability.

I've had 3 of the 4 windows fail in my 2002 Le Sabre purchased new - 1 covered under warranty at 28 K and 2 in the last year or so at 58 K and 71 K. The product is obviously defective and should be recalled. Comments on this and other sites indicate it is the number one issue affecting Buick if not all GM cars. Price of repairing 4 windows is in the rebuilt transmission realm. Failed open windows while in transit (happened to me twice) represent security and safety hazards.
