2000 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
"Would not buy another Buick since they would not acknowledge problems and resolve"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We purchased a 2000 Buick Le Sabre in August of 1999, and within 2 days, the front drivers window failed to operate; could not get the window up.
We took the vehicle back to the dealer and they readjusted the window track. Well a short time later the window failed again. This time they replaced the whole track.
A couple of months later the same window failed to operate properly; would not go all the way up.
This same window was repaired 5 times, all under warranty.
Since then, the other 3 windows have had the same problem. The window fails to go all the way up, binds on the weather stripping, and free falls down into the door. We had them all repaired at our expense. The first time I contacted Buick, they would not reimburse me and just blew it off. The second time I wrote to Buick; early 2006 they finally agreed to repair one window at their expense and reimburse me for the other window I recently had repaired.
Well guess what? Our front passenger window failed again just this week.
I will be contacting Buick again.
General comments?
I have had other issues with the car that to me would be premature failures.
Tire wear at 45,000 miles.
Brakes repaired at about the same; 45,000 miles.
Spark plug wires replaced at 30,000.
