1995 BUICK LESABRE Complaints

TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL TOO DIM TO SEE IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT. DURING MODERATE TURN THE SIGNALS WILL NOT CANCEL AND CONFUSES OTHER DRIVERS. HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISSES. SHOULD BE EASY FOR FACTORY TO INCREASE WATTAGE ON THE PANEL LAMPS.

THE MOTOR IN QUESTION WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER 14 MONTHS AGO AT 50000+ MILES AND HAS FAILED ONCE AGAIN AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 TIMES OF USE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE IN REPLACEMENT AND WAS GIVEN NO ASSISTANCE OTHER THAN REFERRAL TO THE DISTRICT REP FOR BUICK. HE INFORMED ME THAT (AS A CONSUMER HE AGREED THE PART SHOULD NOT FAIL SO QUICK) BUT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUICK HAD NO RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THEREFORE, HE COULD NOT APPROVE THE REPAIR. I FEEL THE FAILURES ARE PREMATURE AND THAT BUICK SHOULD REPAIR AT NO EXPENSE TO THE CONSUMER.

WHILE TRAVELING AT 25 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CAME FROM THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE ROAD & HIT CONSUMER HEAD-ON. UPON IMPACT, THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, DRIVER'S AIR BAG CAUSED THE DRIVER TO BE BURNED ON BOTH FOREARMS, LEFT HAND AND WRIST SWELLED AS A RESULT OF AIR BAG IMPACT. *AK

BRAKES ARE MAKING A SCREACHING NOISE. ALSO CAN HEAR THE GASOLINE .CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER AND MANUFACTURER. *AK

ABS VALVE BLOCK FAILED . AM REPORTING THIS FAILURE SINCE IT IS THE SECOND ABS BRAKE FAILURE OF TWO GM AUTOMOBILES WE CURRENTLY OWN. OUR 1992 CHEVY CAPRICE WAGON ABS SYSTEM FAILED WHEN IT HAD 49,978 MILES ON IT. NOW THE 1995 BUICK, WHICH HAS 55700 MILES ON IT HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED AN ABS BRAKE FAILURE. WE CAN UNDERSTAND AN ISOLATED FAILURE. BUT HAVING TWO GENERAL MOTORS AUTOMOBILES AND BOTH CARS EXPERIENCING ABS BRAKE FAILURES LEAD US TO BELIEVE THAT GENERAL MOTORS HAS A PROBLEM WITH ABS SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT ITS VARIOUS FLEETS. REQUEST YOUR OFFICES RESEAARCH THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THE INTENTION OF HAVING A RECALL OF ALL CARS SO AFFECTED IF NECESSARY. THE TWO ABS FAILURES TOTAL MORE THAN $2200.00 IN REPAIRS.

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. CRUISE CONTROL WAS OFF. DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES, AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. THE DEALER WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE. *AK

ENGINE FAN MOTOR/CRUISE CONTROL AND HORN MALFUNCTIONED DUE TO ELECTRICAL WIRING FAILURE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

CONSUMER WAS DRIVING VEHICLE, MADE A LEFT TURN AND THE STEERING WHEEL BROKE. NEXT DAY CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. *AK *ML

AIRBAG MODULE ON THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSES THE HORN TO BLOW INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, POWER WINDOW MOTOR IS DEFECTIVE/ POWER SEATS HAVE RIPPED SEAMS, AND TIRES HAD A THUMPING SOUND AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. DEALER AWARE OF PROBLEMS, AND COULD NOT REMEDY SITUATION. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. ALSO, A LOT OF PAINT HAS BEEN CHIPPED OFF THE VEHICLE, BUICK REFUSES TO REPAINT. *AK *ML

REAR PASSENGER SEAT LAP BELT DOES NOT COME OUT OF THE HOUSING WHICH WON'T PROTECT THE OCCUPANT IN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. CONSUMER BELIEVES IT TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT. *AK *ML
