2000 Buick LeSabre Limited from North America - Comments

We just had our first window regulator failure and were told it would cost $570 to be repaired. I read an earlier post about calling the DOT Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 and a NHTSA representative will record your complaint information. I can't remember the exact number of complaints on file that the person told me, but I believe it was 170. There is power in numbers so people need to either call there or go to safercar.gov. I don't recall what the cheapest and best way to fix this is, so I guess I'll have to go back and reread the comments. Good luck to all.

Current own a 2003 Buick La Sabre-purchased new. Last winter the driver side rear window broke and fell on a very cold night. Last week, had to fix the driver side window. I've spent near 1000 dollars for this nonsense. This week, I've taken the panel off the passenger side door and will attempt the repair my self. Am currently looking for information on how to deal with the cable arrangement and removal of the motor/regulator. I'm appalled at what I've just read about these power window units and the total lack of GM support. I've paid GM the last dollars they will see from me. I no longer wonder Toyota is near near #1 in sales.

I have a 2001 Buick Le Sabre. Both back windows went down last summer. I couldn't afford to have both repaired so I had the locked into place. I have read from other owners that the repair is only temporary anyway. Now the left front window is down. I'll have to repair it. This is the last Buick I'll own. I agree, with this many complaints, Buick should recall the car.

2000 Buick LeSabre Custom owner: Like thousands of others, I too had a failure with a rear power window. I pulled the interior panel off & pushed the window up to the closed position. Then used a $3 c-clamp on the track to keep there.

So far so good.

I have a 2001 Le Sabre with around 60,000 miles. About a month ago I had to replace the right front window regulator at a cost of around $250. My mechanic found the part for around $150, the rest was labor. Last week I had the same issue on the left rear door. I decided to replace it myself this time, trying to save money. I found a junk yard that sells new regulators for $75. I bought and installed one on Tuesday. By Wednesday it quit working. I took it back and he gave me a replacement. I installed it the same day. Today, I am having issues again. The window will go up with my help, but the motor starts to jitter about half way up. Acts like it doesn't have enough power to push the window up. Not sure what I am going to do now. After reading the comments on this site, I am considering buying a different car. That's unfortunate, because I love this car.

Check eBay, there are a lot of after market regulators for sale for the 2000-2005 LeSabre, many with lifetime warranties. Most are pretty reasonable on price too.

My A\C on the driver and middle side blows only warm air. On the passenger side it still cools. What do I do?
