Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I have a 2000 Buick Lesabre and the rear window regulators were made poorly and the plastic that holds the cable in broke, so far on both back doors. This should be a recall item since so many people have this problem. The dealer wants over 400.00 to repair that would be over 800.00 and they will break again in time due to poor construction. I have a part ordered for one, and will have to repair the other when I can afford it. One broke on the 4th of sept and the other went the next day. After going online I found that this is a big problem for Buick owners. …”

I have now spent over $1200.00 and am looking at another $300.00 to $400.00 for this same problem. I have also been told by the body shops that this is a common problem with the Buick Lesabre's. …”
