1 Windshield problem of the 2002 Buick Lesabre

Failure Date: 12/03/2011

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...

2 Windshield problem of the 2003 Buick Lesabre

Failure Date: 11/22/2007

I purchased the car on a cloudy day. When I did, I did not realize that there was a scratch in the windshield. When I took it back to the dealer, they told me it was a used car, it was sold as is. It was my responsibility, not theirs. I think it is irresponsible of them to sell a car with a scratched windshield.
