2004 BUICK LESABRE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING, BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHEN TAPPING THE BUMPER IN FRONT AT 5 MPH. THIS CAUSED THE DRIVER TO SUSTAIN MINOR INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A GARAGE. *AK THE DASHBOARD COLLAPSED AND THE WINDSHIELD SHATTERED IN TWO PLACES AND CAUSED ABRASIONS ON BOTH OF THE CONSUMER'S WIFE'S ARMS DUE TO THE DEPLOYMENT. *SC *JB

DURING THE DAY LIGHT HOURS DASHBOARD REFLECTS OFF THE WINDSHIELD. DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THE CONSUMER PLACE A BLACK COVER ON THE DASHBOARD. CONSUMER CLAIMED THAT IF A BLACK COVER WAS USED IT WOULD DISABLE THE HEADS UP DISPLAY. *AK

CONSUMER'S VEHICLE VIBRATED WHEN STOPPING OR BACKING UP. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS WORSE WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 2-3 TIMES AND THE LAST TIME HE WAS TOLD THAT MANUFACTURING ENGINEERS WERE INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM. THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS SKIPPING. *AK THE VIBRATION COULD BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL, SEAT'S AND FLOOR BOARDS. WHEN IN REVERSE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUTTER. THE REAR SEAT MIDDLE ARM REST CUP HOLDER HAD COME APART. *SC *JB

CAR STALLS OUT WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE, THIS HAS HAPPENED 25-30 TIMES IN THE 5 MONTHS SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING U-TURNS OR BACKING OUT INTO TRAFFIC.*AK

I PURCHASED A USED 2004 BUICK LESABRE WITH 18000 MILES. I CAN FEEL A VIBRATION IN MY FEET, SEAT, AND THE STEERING WHEEL AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60MPH. THE DEALER CHECKED THE TIRES AND REPLACED THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE SAYING IT WAS OUT OF ROUND AND THAT ALL THE OTHER TIRES WERE IN BALANCE AND WITHIN SPEC.S. I HAVE DRIVEN IT FOR SEVERALS DAY NOW AND I CAN'T DISCERN ANY IMPROVEMENT. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT. BACK THIS MORNING AND THEY RECOMMENDED I PURCHASE A $566 SET OF NEW TIRES! I THINK THE PROBLEM IS IN THE DRIVETRAIN BUT THEY WON'T EVEN DISCUSS THAT POSSIBILITY.*AK

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD. CONSUMER CONTACTED DEALERSHIP, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WORE OUT PREMATURELY. *AK

THE RIDERS SEAT AND THE REAR SEATS ARE THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS I HAVE EVER SAT IN. THEY ARE HARD AND MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WILL SLIDE RIGHT OFF OF THEM. IF I GO ANY AMOUNT OF TIME IN THE SEATS I GET A VERY BAD BACK ACHE. I NEVER HAD THAT PROBLEM WITH MY OLDS 88. * CB

WHILE DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE MALFUNCTIONED. *AK
