CAR WOULD TURN OVER WILL NOT START. MECHANIC SAID THAT FUSE UNDER SEAT OVER HEATED. PURCHASED WITH 95K 7 DAYS AGO. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS IS AKNOW ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL. I HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALER I SEE FUEL PUMP MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. WILL IT TAKE A FIRE OR A HIGHWAY ACCIDENT BEFORE BUICK HAS TO UWN UP TO THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I AM SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL. CAR WAS STAITIONARY BUT WHAT CAN PREVENT THIS HAPPENING TO THE OWNERS DRIVNG IN MOTION.

4.6L NORTHSTAR ENGINE LEAKS OIL, AND WHEN DRIVING YOU CAN SMELL HOT/BURNING OIL, EVEN FROM INSIDE THE CAR. REALLY WORRIED THAT IT WILL CAUSE AN ENGINE FIRE.

VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING AND MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD IT CHECKED AND IT IS A STRETCHED OUT TIMING CHAIN. VERY SCARY TO DRIVE. VEHICLE IS MANUFACTURED IN 07/09 ACCORDING TO THE MANF. STICKER ON THE DOOR. REPAIRS ARE VERY COSTLY AND THERE IS AN EXTENDED POWER TRAIN WARRANTY ON THE 2009"S.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 BUICK LESABRE. WHILE PARKING IN THE GARAGE, AN ODOR OF HOT BURNING WAX EMITTED UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A SMALL OIL LEAK THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 183,000.

THE CAR STARTED STALLING AND IT SMELL LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING. THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF AND RESTART ON ITS OWN. I REPLACED THE ENGINE OUT OF MY POCKETS AND NOW I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. FIRST BEFORE REPLACING THE ENGINE THE SERPENTINE BELT BROKE AND I HAD THE REPAIRED, ABOUT SIX MONTH LATER A BOLT BROKE INSIDE THE ENGINE AND THAT IS WHEN I REPLACED THE ENGINE. I JUST GOT THE CAR BACK THREE WEEKS AGO AND NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING.
