1992 BUICK LESABRE Complaints

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 BUICK LESABRE. THE CONTACT STATES THAT THE AIR BAG PARTIALLY DEPLOYED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. AT 40 MPH. IT PUSHED CONSUMER'S CAR BACK TWO FEET AND ENGINE BACK 4 INCHES. SOMEONE FROM BUICK CAME OUT AND INSPECTED VEHICLE, AND THEN INDICATED THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS STILL DRIVABLE. CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES CONSUMER HEARD A HUMMING NOISE LIKE THE AIR BAG WAS GOING TO DEPLOY. CONTACT PULLED OVER AND WAITED FOR THE HUMMING NOISES TO STOP. CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE AS INDICATED IN ODI 10105027. ALSO, CONSUMER'S AUNT WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WITH SAME THIS HAPPENED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. BOTH FENDERS, HOOD, GRILL, AND BUMPER WERE COMPLETELY DAMAGED. UPON IMPACT, THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG PARTIALLY DEPLOYED, WHILE PASSENGER'S AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. CONTACT'S AUNT WAS THE ONLY OCCUPANT IN THE VEHICLE. SHE HAD SEAT BELT ON. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS NOT ON PRIOR TO THE CRASH. DRIVER SUSTAINED A BROKEN COLLAR BONE. THIS VEHICLE WAS USED FOR TRANSPORTATION ONLY, SHE STILL HAD TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. *AK

THE FUEL PUMP IS NEAR THE GAS TANK OR INSIDE THE GAS TANK. IT IS LIKE PLACING A LIGHTER NEAR THE GAS TANK. THE DESIGN IS POOR. FUEL PUMP IS DEFECTIVE, AND CONSUMER IS WAITING FOR A MANUFACTURER'S RESPONSE.*AK

HOOD LATCH ROD RUSTED. CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THAT THE HOOD COULD FLY UP WHILE DRIVING. *AK

THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF THE ENTIRE AUTO, TOP, SIDES, TRUNK. THE COLOR COAT IS PEELING OFF LEAVING THE PRIMER SHOWING.

THE PAINT JOB ON 1992 BUICKS DOES NOT LAST AND BADLY CHIPS OFF THE BASE COAT ON THE ROOF AND THE TRUNK. I HAVE A 1992 LESABRE AND THE DARK BLUE HAS CHIPPED OFF THE ROOF THE SIZE OF A BASKETBALL. I SAW TWO OLIVE GREEN LESABRES ON THE ROAD TODAY WITH CHIPPING ON THE TRUNK, HOOD AND ROOF. THE WHITE PRIMER COAT HAS GOOD ADHESIVE, BUT THE BASE COAT WAS NOT PROPERLY APPLIED OR THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE PRIMER AND THE BASE COAT. *LA

THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION, AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. *JB *JB

I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT A TIRE BUT ABOUT ALL REPLACEMENT TIRES. I THINK MANY PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A FUEL EFFICIENCY RATING FOR TIRES. WHEN I BOUGHT NEW TIRES FOR MY CAR, I LOST 10 PERCENT IN GAS MILEAGE - I WENT FROM 22 DOWN TO 20. I MIGHT HAVE BOUGHT DIFFERENT TIRES IF I KNEW THIS BEFOREHAND.*AK

MY 1992 LASABRE HAS PAINT PEELING ON THE TOP AND TRUNK. AND NOW I'M SEEING OTHER 92 LASABRES PEELING ALSO. IS THERE A RECALL??

THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SYMPTOMS OF A RECALL RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER LINE. THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *NLM

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND STAY ON. DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK
