2000 BUICK LESABRE Complaints

WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR POWER WINDOW MOTORS. THE FIRST ONE, WE MADE THE MISTAKE OF TAKING IT TO A DEALER AND IT COST AROUND $400-$500. THE OTHERS WE ORDERED THE PART AND REPLACED IT OURSELVES WHICH COST AROUND $100-$150 DEPENDING ON THE WINDOW. NOW, THE ONE WE REPLACED TWO YEARS AGO IS BROKE AGAIN. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. IF A CHILD JUST HAPPENED TO BE IN THE CAR ON THE SIDE THE WINDOW BROKE ON, THERE COULD BE SERIOUS INJURY. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS UNLESS THEY WANT A LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS! *TR

DASH PAD COVER MATERIAL HAS SEPARATED FROM THE DASH PAD BASE. ISSUE IS SEEN ON MANY 2000-2005 BUICK LESABRE AUTOMOBILES. MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT NEEDS A SENIOR BRAND MANAGER TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE FOR A SOLUTION TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF DISSATISFIED OWNERS LIKE ME. I ALSO HAVE A 2002 LESABRE CUSTOM THAT IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. I WILL FILE A COMPLAINT ON THAT UNIT AS WELL. *TR

TRANSMISSION NO LONGER SHIFTS INTO 3RD OR OVERDRIVE. WITH SHIFTER IN OVERDRIVE AND IN STOPPED POSITION ONCE YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO BEGIN ACCELERATION THE TORQUE CONVERTER SLAMS TO A STOP AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. TRANSMISSION FLUID FULL AT ALL TIMES, ENGINE WARMED UP. REPEATED STALLING, REPEATED TACHOMETER QUITS. REPEATED ENGINE QUITS WHEN YOU PLACE IN OVERDRIVE FROM NEUTRAL. MUST START MOVEMENT BY PLACING IN LOWER GEARS 1 2 OR 3. THIS TRANSMISSION NEVER SHIFTS OUT OF SECOND GEAR. PUT IT ON CODE ANALYZER AND GOT 2 CODES THAT INDICATED PC SOLENOID TORQUE CONVERTER SOLENOID ISSUES. SEEMS LIKE THESE 2000 BUICKS HAVE RECURRING DEFECTS AND GM WON'T STANDBY THEIR PRODUCT. WHY ON EARTH WOULD A COMPANY THAT DESIGNS CARS EVER PUT A BATTERY UNDER A CAR SEAT. ONE SPARK WITH HYDROGEN GAS UNDER THAT SEAT COULD KILL AN INFANT IN A CAR SEAT IF IT EXPLODED.. COME ON!!! *TR

WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED THERE WERE NO DASHPAD FLAWS. CAR WAS AND STILL IS GARAGE KEPT. THE DASHPAD HAS BEEN LIFTING ACROSS THE ENTIRE WIDTH OF THE PAD FROM FRONT TO REAR AND EXPOSING THE STRUCTURE UNDERNEATH. THIS INCLUDES THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AREA WHICH THE DASH PAD IS COMPLETLY LIFTED AND NOT SURE IF AIRBAG IS EXPOSED. *TT

THE DASHBOARD ON OUR BUICK LESABRE CUSTOM IS SEPARATING FROM THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD THAT COULD EXPOSE THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT IS ALSO SEPARATING FROM THE AC VENTS. IT IS ALSO CAUSING A HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER'S VISION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 BUICK LESABRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH AND USING THE HEADLIGHTS, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT OPERATE UNLESS THE CONTACT HELD DOWN THE LEVER CONSTANTLY. AFTER RELEASING THE LEVER, ALL OF THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE DRIVER OWNS A 2000 BUICK LESABRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR WINDOWS DROPPED DOWN INTO THEIR DOOR PANELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THE WINDOWS WERE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

BRAKES FAILED BECAUSE BRAKE LINE CORROSION. NO WARNING AT FIRST, THEN THE BRAKE WARNING CAME ON. ALMOST DID NOT STOP AND ALMOST HIT A CAR IN FRONT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 BUICK LESABRE. THE CONTACT STATED THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO FUNCTION NORMALLY ALTHOUGH THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC, BUT THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS 87,000.

DASHBOARD IS BUCKLED ALL THE WAY ACROSS. KEEPS GETTING WORSE AND I'M AFRAID THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL DEPLOY CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BUT IT IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS MATTER. BUICK REALLY SHOULD CONSIDER A RECALL FOR THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE YET KILLED. THANKS *TT
