Consumer Description

2001 BUICK LESABRE LIMITED. LEFT REAR POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED TO RETURN WINDOW TO A CLOSED POSITION. TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE WAS 99 DEGREES F. COULD NOT SECURE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE PREVALENT AMONG THIS FAMILY OF GM VEHICLES. REPAIR COSTS ARE EXORBITANT WHEN THE FAULT APPEARS TO BE A SMALL PLASTIC BRACKET INSIDE THE WINDOW REGULATOR. A SIMPLE REPAIR KIT IS NEEDED, RATHER THAN REPLACING THE ENTIRE REGULATOR. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON, AND WINDOWS ARE NOT ROLLED DOWN THAT OFTEN. BASED ON COMPLAINTS I'VE SEEN ON OTHER WEB SITES, I CAN EXPECT TO REPLACE THE OTHER THREE REGULATORS, WITH THE COST APPROACHING $2000 FOR ALL 4 REGULATOR REPLACEMENTS. *TR
