1995 BUICK LESABRE Complaints
THE VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. IT SOMETIMES STALLS WHILE AT A STOPLIGHT OR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD/HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD A COMPLETE TUNE UP ALONG WITH A FUEL PUMP, CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, CAMSHAFT SENSOR, AIR MASS SENSOR AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE. I HAVE TRIED TO FIND OUT WHO ELSE HAS HAD THE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE MANY AND THE ONLY COMMON FACTOR IS THAT NO ONE HAS FOUND A RESOLUTION. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR;
1995 BUICK PARK AVENUE Complaints
THE GEAR SHIFTER DOES NOT SHIFT IN TO THE CORRECT SELECTED GEARS. THE PREFABRICATION WAS NOT DONE CORRECTLY ON THE BOTTOM ROCKER PANELS, THAT CAUSED THEM TO RUST PREMATURELY. THE PAINT IS JUST PEELING OFF THE TOP AND THE HOOD OF THE CAR. 8 YEARS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, GM DEALER PARTS BECAME UNAVAILABLE. I HAVE KEPT MY CAR IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. I HAVE ALL MY SERVICE RECORDS AND RECEIPT'S FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED THE CAR TO THIS VERY DAY!!! I STILL HAVE THE CAR TO THIS DAY. IF THERE WASN'T A RECALL THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN. ESPECIALLY FOR THE GEAR SHIFTER AND ROCKER PANELS...???? ALSO THE HORN PAD HAD A DEFECT WITH THE SPRINGS UNDER THE HORN PAD. GEAR SHIFTER OCCURRED MOST OF THE TIME WHILE TRYING TO SHIFT THE CAR IN TO ONE GEAR OR ANOTHER. THE HORN WAS PAD WAS REPLACED WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. I WAS DRIVING AND NO HORN. IT IS A VERY NICE CAR BUT WHO EVER HELP PUT IT TOGETHER HAD TO BE ON SOMETHING??? MY 1995 PARK AVENUE HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT. IT ONLY HAS 167,787 MILES ON IT. NEVER DRIVEN IN WINTER UNTIL 2014.;
