NHTSA Complaint #10234730 — 2000 BUICK LESABRE

THE BACK WINDOW OF MY 2000 BUICK LESABRE STOPPED WORKING ...COUPLE WEEKS LATER THE OTHER BACK WINDOW STOPPED WORKING. I THEN DID RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND MANY MANY INDIVIDUALS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. ONE MONTH LATER THE PASSENGER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING AND A MONTH AFTER THAT THE DRIVER SIDE STOPPED WORKING. ALL OF THE FAULTY WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING THIS YEAR 2008. HOW CAN THEY ALL FAIL AT THE SAME TIME. TO REPAIR EACH WINDOW COSTS AROUND $500 EACH OR A TOTAL OF $2000...10% OF THE ORIGINAL COST OF THE LESABRE. FROM YOUR WEB SITE " FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS SET MINIMUM PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR THOSE PARTS OF THE VEHICLE THAT MOST AFFECT ITS SAFE OPERATION (BRAKES, TIRES, LIGHTING) OR THAT PROTECT DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS FROM DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH (AIR BAGS, SAFETY BELTS, CHILD RESTRAINTS, ENERGY ABSORBING STEERING COLUMNS, MOTORCYCLE HELMETS)". NOW IF ONE NEEDS TO ESCAPE FROM THE AUTO, ESPECIALLY A CHILD, DO TO FAILURE OF THE DOOR OPENING THE WINDOWS HAVE NOW CREATED A SAFETY PROBLEM. ONCE AGAIN THERE HAVE BEEN MANY MANY INDIVIDUALS WITH THIS PROBLEM...MANY THAT HAVE NOT SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT...EVEN THE AUTO TECHNICIANS INDICATE THIS HAS ACCRUED MORE THEN IT SHOULD. FINALLY, I BELIEVE THE FAULTY POWER WINDOWS ARE A SAFETY PROBLEM AND BUICK SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAULTY EQUIPMENT. *TR
