| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Rear power window failed to go back up when lowered while driving. there was no warning or indication that there was a problem until it stopped working. 2002 buick, lesabre, has only 34,000 miles, but was no longer under warranty. the rear power window had only been lowered 10-12 times since purchased brand new, as i hardly ever had rear seat passengers. based on symptoms and research it appeared to be a defective power window regulator. based on internet complaints this appeared to be a chronic problem with buicks. in fact, when i called the local buick dealer for a cost estimate , about $500, they said that they had just fixed o another lesabre that day! also, they suggested it was likely the window regulator based on my brief description. however, they said there was no recall on that recurring failure, and i would have to pay full price.*ak i have been driving with the rear window held up with black duct tape, but it does not hold that well. i is obviously not a fix, but i refuse to pay $500 to fix something that has only been used about a dozen times, is a known defect and has the probability of breaking again after another dozen uses based on what i have read. |
