This is regarding recent replacement of both rear window regulators. Research has proven that many complaints have been filed over the years with no recall. I would hope for financial help, $1000 to cover the cost of repairs, as the minimum response; and also, I hope for a recall to help the many others who have suffered great financial costs and safety. I have been directed by my father, [xxx], original and present owner of this 2002 Buick, to help him be a responsible consumer/customer. My father of 88 years still believes in american made cars, especially in gm. He has been watching, like many americans, for a "come back" in the auto industry, especially the correction of problems that clearly has a large documentation of complaints as this one. I hope you will be able to honor his faithfulness in perhaps a small financial way, and perhaps even in a greater way through a recall.

I was driving on the highway a few days before December 3, 2011, and I heard a loud "pop" sound from the back seat of my car. On the 3rd, I was driving along and started hearing the sound of an open window in the back seat. I tried to close the back-right window with the power window control on the driver's door, but it didn't move the window (I heard the motor running, though). I then parked the car and got out to try to pull/push the window shut, but it would not stay all the way up. It had started with just an inch or so being open, but eventually it slid down so it was only about halfway up. . Read more...
Both front and rear passenger windows failed to go up after put in the down position. Had to replace both widow regulator's at a cost of 450. 00. Only 60,732 miles on the car.
Rear door window right came down and will not go back up. Cable broke. Replaced regulator, rear dow window right bower r&r. Part 15231244 under extended warranty. If I had not purchased an extended warranty, this would have come out of my pocket. This is the fourth time they have replace parts for various windows in this car. Another window is having intermittent problems the dealer could not duplicate, so it will problably go too. This is happening too often and an internet search show many Lesabre owners are having similar problems multiple times.
#1 drivers side door window will not go down. Replaced drivers side front window regulator. Part 15231241. #2 driver's rear window will not work properly. Window regulator cable broken, replace regulator. Part 15231245.
