2001 BUICK LESABRE Complaints

MY ENGINE WAS SMOKING AND SMELLED OF BURNING OIL. WENT TOBA MECHANIC AND SAID MY VALVE IS LEAKING OIL ALL OVER MY ENGINE FOR SOME REASON. THIS ENGINE I'VE READ IS PRONE TO ENGINE FIRES. THIS MAYBE A DEFECTIVE ENGINE IN THE BUICK AS WELL. *TR

THE DASH PAD ON MY 2001 BUICK LE SABRE HAS SEPARATED AND BUCKLED UP APPROXIMATELY SIX INCHES IN HEIGHT AND MOSTLY IN FRONT OF MY STEERING WHEEL, HOWEVER IT IS LIFTED 3/4 OF THE WAY ACROSS THE ENTIRE DASH. IT IS NOW OPEN IN THE FRONT ALONG WHERE IT MEETS THE WINDSHIELD. IT HAS LIFTED ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. UPON READING ON LINE, I SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2001 THROUGH 2005 BUICKS AND I AM JUST ANOTHER COMPLAINT TO ADD TO THE LIST. THE RISE IN THE DASH CERTAINLY EFFECTS MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE PLACED A THICK PAD ON TOP OF MY DRIVERS SEAT TO RAISE MY BODY. THIS ASSISTS ME, SO I AM ABLE TO PEER OVER THE RAISED DASH WHILE DRIVING. I AM GREATLY CONCERNED THAT THE SEPARATION, IS GOING TO SUDDENLY DEPLOY MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. *TR

THE DASH BOARD IS SEPERATING AT THE SEAMS ALL THE WAY TO THE AIR BAGS. IT MAY LEAD TO POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYEMENT ON PASSENGER SIDE. PLEASE FIX THIS COULD LEAD TO A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT I COMMUNTE ON A DAILY BASIS WITH MY TWO SON 6 AND 10. PLEASE DO A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE SOMEONE COULD BE SERIOUS INJURED PLEASE HELP! *TR

THE DASH BOARD IS SEPERATING AT THE SEAMS ALL THE WAY TO THE AIR BAGS. IT MAY LEAD TO POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYEMENT ON PASSENGER SIDE.

NOTICED WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR IN 2009 WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A USED DEALERSHIP. A SMALL PIECE OF THE DASH WAS PEELING UP. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AT THE TIME BUT DASH HAS PRETTY MUCH LIFTED FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE PASSENGERS SIDE. A LITTLE WORRIED THAT THE PASSENGERS AIRBAG MAY GO OFF.READ MANY FORUMS WHERE OTHERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THERE DASH DOING THE SAME THING. THINK THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. SEEN SEVERAL CARS LIKE MINE IN TOWN AND ALMOST EVERYONE I SEE HAS THE SAME DASH PROBLEM. GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM!! *JS

THE INTERIOR FRONT DASHBOARD HAS CURLED UP STARTING FROM THE FRONT WINDSHIELD EXTENDING ACROSS TO THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. UPON RESEARCHING THIS I HAVE FOUND THAT MOST 2001 BUICK LESABRES HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. GENERAL MOTORS HAS NOT RECTIFIED THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY RECALL OR RECOURSE. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS EFFECTS THE AIRBAGS AND CAUSE THEM TO DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR GOD FORBID KILLED BECAUSE OF AN EXPLODING AIRBAG UNTIL GENERAL MOTORS ACTS ON THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT THIS UNFORESEEN DEFECT. PLEASE HELP US OWNERS AND HAVE GENERAL MOTORS RECALL THE 2001 BUICK LESABRE.. THANK YOU. *TR

VEHICLE WAS IN A FRONT END ACCIDENT WITH AN SUV AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

REAR WINDOW REGULATOR HAVE MALFUNCTIONED FOR 3RD TIME IN BOTH REAR WINDOWS. OIL LEAKING FROM VALVE/HEADS CAUSING SMOKE UNDER HOOD. DOOR CONTROLS SHORTED OUT,AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS CAUSING DOORS TO LOCK AND UNLOCK WITHOUT CAUSE AND SWITCHING FROM DRIVER1 TO DRIVER2 AND BACK WHILE DRIVING. *TR

THE DASHBOARD BETWEEN THE AIR VENT AND THE STEERING WHEEL UNDERNEATH THE WINDSHIELD IS CURLING UP AND COMING OFF. FROM MY RESEARCH, PRETTY MUCH ALL THE '01 THROUGH '05 BUICKS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND GM IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS WILL ONLY GET WORSE AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE PASSANGER SIDE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY FOR NO REASON AND HARM THE PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE BADLY. PLEASE HELP! *TR

THE WINDOWS OF THIS CAR ARE UNDEPENDABLE. IN CASE OF ACCIDENT DEFECTIVE MOTORS REGULATORS DO NOT WORK. ALL FOUR WINDOWS ARE A PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT BY A WINDOW IF NEED BE. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE BUICK LESABRE 2001. BUICK MANUFACTURING WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR WINDOWS. BUICK STATES THAT THE CARS ARE PAST WARRANTY AND THEREFORE WILL NOT DO ANY THING ABOUT IT. I INCLUDE THESE TWO SITES AS EVIDENCE TO THIS FACT AND HOW WIDE SPREAD THIS PROBLEM IS.
