What owners say
Window motor has gone out numerous times on front 2 windows and has had to be replaced.last time drivers side was repaired was 4-17-2014.that was 3rd repair .has since broken again but I did not repair it again. Back driver side window fell open while on interstate 2 years ago. My car is garage kept with around 60,000 miles.these issues started within 3 or 4 years after I purchased it new. The repair shop where I take my car says they have seen many lesabres with the same problem.gm doesn't seem to feel there is a problem.I know this because I have written and called them several times about my concerns.just wish they would have to be held accountable for their poor engineering.
Rear window falls down. Known problem in bucks. Very costly temporary fix as window will not stay up for long and will fall down again. My daughter had to drive the car home from school in 10 degree weather after the window fell down. Buick and government protection agency should be ashamed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 buick lesabre. While checking the window motor, it was discovered that the wiring inside the door was poorly assembled. Every time it rained, the window regulators had to be replaced. The failure occurred twice. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 24,000. Updated 7/21/15*cn updated 9/23/15
I have had to replace all four power window motors, the dash is coming apart and is raised blocking some visibility and potentially affecting the air bag deployment in an accident. In addition, it seems to me that braking vibration / pulsation has been a problem on all five of my buick lesabres
While driving this vehicle the bolts on my rear brake pad broke in half and the car was unable to move forward, had to drive my car backwards home luckily I was only a block away from home. The 2 front windows will not roll up or down, keep having to replace the hose that leads to my radiator, when I make right turns the car vibrates, two front seat belts have stop locking all together and this vehicle has never been in any sort of crash or accident, front dash is starting to lift considerably. I adore my vehicle and I'm not looking forward to getting rid of it, but there are too many problems to deal with on this car.
Tl * the contact owns a 2003 buick lesabre. The contact stated that when the rear drivers door was closed, the glass window fell into the door panel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and was repaired. The repairs were unknown. Additionally, the failure recurred with the front and rear passenger side door windows. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 71,000.
While I am driving speed of 40/50/ car cuts of . Then is stalls trying to start back up. Some time rite away it does .some times is takes as long as 15 mins to 20 mins to start back up .also when I stop brakes jerk as if manifold is messing up .and the windows wont roll up some times. So please help is there in defects or recalls for this vehicle buick 2000 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.
I have replaced all 4 window regulators twice. I have done research, and it appears many have the same issue. Buick claims to sell "luxury" this is far from luxury and is unsafe! Driving 65mph and the windows just go down....then won't go back up! My car had to sit outside with both back windows down!

- What is wrong
- These vehicles were assembled with a malfunction alarm, lighting and locking (mall) module that can contain a damaged capacitor. If the capacitor is damaged, the "key in the ignition" warning chime and the driver seat belt unbuckled warning chime and indicator lamp may not work. This does not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 114, "theft protection" and fmvss no. 208, "occupant crash protection." in addition, other chime reminder functions, interior lighting controls, and power door locking features are also affected.
- Risk
- Consequence of non-compliance; the driver may not be aware that the key was left in the ignition or that the safety belt was not buckled.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the mall module.
