2001 Buick Lesabre

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 BUICK LESABRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATORS FAILED TO CLOSE OR OPEN THE SIDE WINDOWS IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,386.

THE WINDOWS OF THIS CAR ARE UNDEPENDABLE. IN CASE OF ACCIDENT DEFECTIVE MOTORS REGULATORS DO NOT WORK. ALL FOUR WINDOWS ARE A PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT BY A WINDOW IF NEED BE. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE BUICK LESABRE 2001. BUICK MANUFACTURING WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR WINDOWS. BUICK STATES THAT THE CARS ARE PAST WARRANTY AND THEREFORE WILL NOT DO ANY THING ABOUT IT. I INCLUDE THESE TWO SITES AS EVIDENCE TO THIS FACT AND HOW WIDE SPREAD THIS PROBLEM IS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 BUICK LESABRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAD BEGUN SEPARATING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE HEAT AND TEMPERATURE CHANGES, WHICH DETERIORATED THE MATERIAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIR AND THE DEALER OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,000. UPDATED 10/10/12 *CN UPDATED 10/11/2012 *JS

PASSENGER WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP JULY 2011. ONE WEEK LATER LEFT REAR PASSENGER WINDOW WOULD NOT FUNCTION. FEBRUARY 2012 RIGHT REAR WINDOW FAILED. APRIL 2012 LEFT REAR WINDOW WOULD NOT GO DOWN. FORTUNATELY, IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. SO FAR, THE WINDOWS HAVE COST ME $735.00 IN LESS THAN A YEAR. CATALYTIC CONVERTER RATTLES A LOT IN MORNING WHEN CAR IS COLD. ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. WAS TOLD BY AAMCO CAN BE REPLACED AT BUICK'S EXPENSE, BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONFIRM THIS. *TR

ANOTHER VERY COMMON DEFECT WITH MULTIPLE YEAR BUICKS BESIDES THE WINDOW REGULATORS THAT BUICK REFUSES TO ADMIT FAULT AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THEM. THIS IS ABOUT THE DASH COVERING PULLING AWAY FROM THE WINDSHIELD AND LIKELY CAUSE AIR BAG TO DISCHARGE AND SOON WILL OBSTRUCT VISION THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. BOTH OF THESE ITEMS ARE VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR AND GN/BUICK HAS OFFERED NOTHING AS FAR AS I KNOW TO ANYONE. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER ONE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE POWER STEERING HOSE AT 60,000 AND AN AXLE AT 90,000 AND A TIE ROD AT 50,000. AND THEY WONDER WHY SALES FROM JAPAN ARE BOOMING?? *TR

TL* THE DRIVER OWNS A 2001 BUICK LESABRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN THE REAR DRIVER'S WINDOW DROPPED DOWN INTO ITS DOOR PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WE HAVE HAD ALL 4 OF OUR WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED ON OUR 2001 BUICK LESABRE WITHIN A MONTH OF EACH OTHER. THE WINDOWS FALL DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. IT HAS COST US $200 EACH TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. I PERSONALLY WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER BUICK IF THIS IS THE WAY GM HANDLES THINGS. ALSO, THE DASHBOARD SKIN HAS PEELED AWAY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND SLOWLY PROCEEDING TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TT
