2000 BUICK LESABRE Complaints

MY 2000 BUICK LASABRE HAS HAD THREE WIDOW REGULATORS FAIL. ONE UNDER WARRANTY, ONE I TALKED THEM INTO PAYING FOR THE PART, AND NOW THE THIRD THAT THEY REFUSE OBSORB ANY OF THE $400 COST. MY WIFE HAS BEEN STRANDED WITHOUT AN AUTOMOBILE FOR FOUR DAYS WAITING ON THE PART. I FINALLY HAD TO GET AN AUTOBODY SHOP TO REPAIR IT (TOMORROW 6/29/2005). SOMEONE IS NOW MAKING AN AFTER MARKET PART THAT IS HALF THE COST, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM PRODUCT.

DT: THE DASH LIGHT IN THE CONSUMER'S 2000 BUICK LASABRE WORK INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT ARE BRIGHT, LOW, OR COMPLETELY OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INSTALLED A SENSOR WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO INFORMED HIM THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO THE PROBLEM. *NM *SB

2000 BUICK LESABRE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION ON THREE OCCASIONS. *MR THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT. ON ONE OCCASION, THE CONSUMER WAS SLOWING TO STOP BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT HAD STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND CAUSED MINOR DAMAGE. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE VEHICLE HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A SIGNAL WHEN THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION OCCURRED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *SC *JB

2000 BUICK LESABRE DEVELOPED WORN PISTON RINGS.*MR THE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL (1 QUART EVERY 600 MILES). THE MANUFACTURER REIMBURSED THE CONSUMER FOR THE REPAIRS. *NM

2000, BUICK, LESABRE WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*MR...CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH, HIT ON DRIVER'S SIDE REAR. UPON IMPACT, DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. DRIVER KNOCKED OUT AND SUSTAINED INJURIES, AND WAS TAKEN TO LOCAK HOSPITAL. ALSO PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES. *AK

SHORTLY AFTER TAKING DELIVERY OF VEHICLE WHICH HAD 60 MILES ON IT,I NOTICED WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR ACCELERATING WHEN TURNING THE CAR LOST POWER.I WOULD PRESS THE GAS AND IT WOULDN'T GO.TOOK TO PAUL BATT BUICK & SKILL BUICK MANY,MANY TIMES,NEVER FOUND PROBLEM.AT 30K MILES,BUICK SAID I SHOULD CHANGE FLUID & CHECK THE PAN FLUID,WHICH SHOWED NOTHING.PROBLEM STILL OCCURS.THIS COULD BE A HAZARD IF VEHICLE BEHIND ME THINKS I'M MOVING AND CAR SLOWS TO A NEAR STOP W/O BRAKE LIGHTS GOING ON. I HAVE 55K MILES ON IT NOW & PROBLEM STILL OCCURS.NEITHER BUICK OR THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM.SKILL BUICK AND PAUL BATT BUICK WERE LESS THAN HELPFUL.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW INTERMITTANTLY STOPPED WORKING AND THE MOTOR WAS REPLACED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THE REAR RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING ONE DAY AFTER IT HAD BEEN ROLLED DOWN. IT WAS LOOKED AT BY THE BUICK DEALER, AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST WELL OVER $500.00 TO FIX THE WINDOW REGULATOR AND MOTOR. I ASKED THEM AT THE TIME IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE WINDOW MOTORS, SINCE I HAD ALREADY HAD TO HAVE ONE MOTOR REPLACED, I WAS TOLD NO. I HAVE SINCE HAD TO PULL THE WINDOW UP MANUALLY, AND TAPE IT SO IT DOES NOT FALL DOWN. (NOT A PRETTY SITE). I FEEL THIS IS A PROBLEM AND AM AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN TO ANOTHER WINDOW AND WILL BE FORCED ALSO TO FIX THAT ONE AT A HEFTY PRICE. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE WINDOW MOTOR MECHANISMS.

DT: BOUGHT USED A USED CAR, HAD IT A YEAR. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL LINE. AND THE ENGINE BLEW UP AND CAUGHT THE ON FIRE. GM OFFERED TO BUY THE CAR BACK BECAUSE IT WAS TOTALED AND TOLD HER THAT HER GAP INSURANCE WOULD PAY HER THE REST OF THE PAYOFF. GAP INSURANCE SAID IF GM WOULD PAY A SET AMOUNT THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE REST. THEN GM RESENDED THEIR OFFER. GM TOLD HER THAT THE OFFER WAS CLOSED.*AK

2000 BUICK LESABRE DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH SHIFTING PROPERLY.*MR THE P/C SOLENOID SWITCH FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHIFT ERRATICALLY WHILE BEING DRIVEN. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT THE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY PROVIDED NO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. *NM

THE REGULATORS ON ALL WINDOWS HAD TO BE REPLACED. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM PERSISTED. WHEN THE CONSUMER CALLED BUICK, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE LACK OF USE. *AK *SC *JB
