I bought a 200 lesabre in november of 2004. I rarely use the windows - maybe a few times up and down a week. Doing the math, there have been a few hundred ups and downs for each window. During the last six months I have replaced all four window regulators/motors on this car. Internet sites has clearly shown that there is a defect with buick's window regulators and they will not do anything about it. See http://groups.google.com/group/buick-lesabre-window-regulator/browse_frm/thread/2a1899cf89253771?hl=en#30bf330dab8abef9. I also purchased a 2002 lesabre in september of '06. This morning the second window on that car went as well. This is utterly ridiculous and criminal. These window regulators must be recalled and replaced.
For the 7th time one of my power windows fell down and would not go back up, allowing anyone access to the inside of my car. Took it to the dealer again, and had to pay another $566.89 to have the window regulator fixed.
The left rear window mechanism failed while attempting to raise the window. This mechanism was replaced a year ago.
I drive a gm 2000 buick lasabre and have had 3 out of the 4 electric windows go down and not go back up again. I have only been able to afford to get 1 fixed so far because it is the entire actuator and motor system that needs to be replaced and it costs $500 for each window. Please recall these windows and replace them with windows that work.

Window regulator on the rear driver window is broken. It keeps the window down. The regulators on the other windows are now starting to see a problem. The window not being able to be up or down causes major issues for driver safety during in inclement weather conditions.

The window regulator doesn't work, and the window repeatedly falls down, must be pulled up with both hands.

The window regulators on my 2000 buick lesabre failed today. Now my window will not go up or down and is down all the way. Normally for child safety it is still partially up. Even though I keep my back windows "locked" causing them to be used infrequently it failed. Today is the second time in the last year+ the same regulator has failed. Buick needs to stand behind this as I see countless complaints online and the fact that the window now goes all the way down is a child safety hazard. The cost to repair is said to be $400+ per window.
