Yes, I believe this is very common on this and 2005-model Lesabres. I own a 2004 model and my cruise switch (set/resume) failed just today, while the backlights for the electronic air conditioner, passenger-side air temperature, and various radio lights have all failed. My mother owns a 2005 Lesabre and went through a nightmare at a GM dealership having one of the steering wheel mounted radio control switches replaced - first, the tech insisted they "never break," which is patently incorrect, then the tech installed the switch improperly, then had to order a different replacement part - four trips in all. Fortunately for her, this was all under warranty. My warranty ran out about 16K miles ago. My LeSabre is a wonderful car, but these kinds of idiotic defects that seem to permeate the line is just another testimony to horrendous GM build quality. For heaven's sake, its a wire with a light; how hard should that be to design and implement? For GM, its apparently next to impossible. -David
