THE SUBFRAME RUSTED AND DROPED OUT OF THE CAR, CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE STEERING AND SENDING IT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC . *TT

RE: 2004 BUICK LESABRE CUSTOM ISSUE: DASHBOARD BUCKLING, WARPED AND COMING UNDONE FROM OTHER COMPONENTS. TOOK TO GM AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHICH RECOMMENDED THE DASHBOARD BE REPLACED. QUOTED $750 FOR PART AND $500 LABOR. I WAS TOLD IT SHOULD BE REPLACED SOON BECAUSE IT COULD TRIGGER THE AIRBAG IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. *TR

2001 BUICK LESABRE LIMITED 'DASH MAT' HAS SEPARATED AND BUCKLED IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING A VISIBILITY ISSUE AND IS SEEMS TO CONTINUE TO BE SEPARATING TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG - BASED ON MY ONLINE RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AMONGST 2000 - 2005 LESABRE OWNERS. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND AM NOT SURE IF HEAT IS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. *TR

NO GAS GAUGE, IT READS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. LOW FUEL LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON, AND WHEN I AM TRULY GETTING LOW ON FUEL, IT MAY BOUNCE TO AN AREA BETWEEN E AND 1/4 TANK MARK. I AM HAVING TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE MILES I DRIVE AND HOPE THAT THE MPG AT 15.9 IS ACCURATE SINCE NOTHING ELSE SEEMS TO BE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2006 BUICK LUCERNE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD VIOLENTLY SHAKE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THEIR MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THREE OF THE FOUR ENGINE MOUNTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT LATER MODEL YEAR VEHICLES WERE BEING REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE FOR THE SAME FAILURE. NO REASON WAS PROVIDED AS TO WHY THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WE ALSO ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OUR 2005 BUICK TERRAZA. ITS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES NOW DUE TO THE ABS/TRACTION/STABILIZER ISSUES...AND WE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. IN THOSE 2 MONTHS ITS BEEN A CONSTANT HEADACHE!! WE HAVE STUCK ALOT OF MONEY IN TO THIS ALREADY, THEY KEPT TELLING ME THE WHEEL BEARINGS ARE OUT, WHICH AFTER 2 SETS OF 2 NEW HUBS, THEY SHOULD BE FINE. I DIDN'T EVEN LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP AND THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I AM A DAYCARE PROVIDER AND CANNOT AFFORD TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT SOUNDS LIKE THESE PROBLEMS THEY ARE HAVING WITH THIS ISSUE ARE LIFE THREATENING...SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP BEFORE INNOCENT PEOPLE START LOOSING THEIR LIVES OVER SOMETHING THAT LONG AGO SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED....IF SOMETHING HAPPENS ON THIS END, LEGAL ACTION WILL BE ADDRESSED AND I SUGGEST ALL OF YOU HAVING ISSUES DO THE SAME!! *TR
