1995 BUICK LESABRE WITH REPEATED INTERMITTENT HEADLAMP FAILURE IN THE PAST 8 MONTHS. EXCESSIVE BRAKE/ROTOR REPLACEMENTS WITH MINIMAL MILES IN BETWEEN. BUICK WILL RUN DIAGNOSTICS AT $88.00 PER HOUR. CAN RUN TO $1,000 AND MAY STILL NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. HAD AN INITIAL RECALL ON THE BRAKES. LIKE THE CAR OR WOULDN'T STILL HAVE IT. WISH I COULD COUNT ON THE HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT. *JB

CONSUMER STATED THAT THE BOLTS HOLDING THE ENGINE CRADLE WERE CORRODED. AS A RESULT, THE CRADLE FELL DOWN AND DISENGAGED THE STEERING LINKAGES. VEHICLE COULD NOT STEER PROPERLY. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED. CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS MALFUNCTION, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *AK

WHILE DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE FOLLOWING DAY BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHEN THE CONSUMER STARTED THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT WATER FROM THE RAIN STORM ENTERED INTO THE AIR BAG MODULE SENSOR. THIS CAUSED THE SENSOR TO MALFUNCTION AND THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY.*AK THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. *NM

UNEXPLAINED AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN MY 1995 BUICK LASABRE .THIS MAY NOT BE THE EXACT DAY THE INCIDENT HAPPENED BUT CLOSE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. DRIVER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR ANALYSIS. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE WATER PUMP ASSEMBLY, PULLEY AND ENGINE BELT. *AK *NM

I HAD MY FRONT BRAKES REPLACED AS THEY WERE IN NEED OF IT DUE TO UNEVEN STOPPING, BUT REASON MORE SO WAS THE ABS LIGHT WOULD KEEP COMING ON. THE BRAKES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO FAIL, NOT ALLOWING YOU TO COME TO QUICK STOP AS NEEDED, EVEN AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. THIS STILL HAPPENS EVEN AFTER BRAKE WORK WAS DONE. MECHANIC SAID THE ABS SENSOR WAS IN THE WHEEL BEARING AND WOULD COST OVER $300 TO CHANGE THAT. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, FOR EXAMPLE, SHOULD SOMEONE PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I AM UNABLE TO STOP DUE TO ABS FAILURE. AFTER THE LIGHT COMES ON, AFTER INITIAL FAILURE TO STOP, THEN IT WORKS FINE UNTIL IT SITS FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND REPEATS IT AGAIN. THIS IS VERY SCARY SITUATION AND NOW CONSIDERING OUR DAUGHTER, 16, IS DRIVING TOO MAKES IT EVEN MORE OF A HUGE CONCERN.
