Three of the power window regulators have failed on my 2000 Buick Lesabre limited. The windows may all of a sudden just drop down and the electric motor will not close them although you can hear the motors running. I've read this is an extremely common problem and a equipment defect on Buick cars with power windows which has not been corrected. I have replaced one window regulator and the others I have just blocked the windows closed. This could be a very dangerous situation if one of the windows was to suddenly just drop down while drive in a heavy rain or over bad weather which could cause a distraction and accident.

I also have experienced window regulator failure, passenger front side went down and that?s where it stayed. A search on the internet has proven out that this is a major problem on Buicks of this era as well as other models using the regulator mechanisms from the supplier to gm. My bill ended up over 500 dollars for repair at a gm dealership. This is a major problem, verified by one of their mechanics. I called gm customer satisfaction department and spoke with a gentleman who also verified it is a major problem, but gm will not stand behind them after expiration of the warranty. I love this car but am seriously considering trading as I am fearful of what the future holds with the other windows after researching the problem.
