2000 Buick Lesabre Problems

WHAT A PITA THIS 2000 LESABRE HAS BEEN. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER BUICK. (THE LEAST IMPACTIVE OF THE FIVE WINDOW FAILURES); ON A LOCAL FREEWAY, I TOUCHED THE RIGHT PASSENGER SWITCH AND THE WINDOW DROPPED OPEN. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DURING WINTER MONTHS, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME, OPEN THE DOOR PANEL AND WEDGE THE WINDOW CLOSED (DUCT TAPE). I CANNOT REMEMBER THE DETAILS OF ALL OF THE FAILURES, BUT I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN ANY OF THEM HAPPENED. THE FIRST COUPLE OF THEM OCCURRED DURING THE WARRANTY. I ASKED TO TALK TO THE ZONE PERSON AFTER THE 2ND OCCURRENCE. NO JOY WITH THAT EXPERIENCE. I WAS TOTALLY IGNORED. THANK GOD I HAVE MECHANICAL ABILITIES (DAD). I DISCOVERED THAT I COULD PURCHASE FOR A WHOLE HELL OF A LOT LESS OFF OF THE INTERNET A NEW/REFURB UNIT RATHER THAN PAYING THE EXTORTIONIST RATES OF THE GARAGE. ALL FOUR WINDOWS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, AND THE DRIVERS WINDOW, 2X. THE LAST WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY, AND I TRIED TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S WINDOW. YOU KNOW THE NOISE OF THE SNAP OF THE DEVICE WITHIN THE DOOR PANEL. I ORDERED A NEW OPENER WITHIN AN HOUR. THIS NEVER SHOULD HAPPEN WITH A REPUTABLE MANUFACTURER. *TR

the 2000 Buick Lesabre is a wonderful car basically a tank with the 3800 SERIES II you cant go wrong but the tiny little plastic part holding the throttle cable will dryrot even with a garage kept car under 150k miles please get them replaced I was driving and then the part came off and it got wrapped around the bracket and it took off I melted the breaks I wasn't stopping due to constant gas so I flipped in down into neutral to stop the vehicle from accelerating after i found a spot to pull it off the road but you can also put your foot under the peddle and pull up on it while pressing the breaks if you cant find a safe area while this is happening but i didnt relise it was happning until i hit 65 because the road i was on was a 55 and before i knew it i was going 90 luciky i live out in the rural areas

I started my car in the morning, per my usual routine. After a few seconds, I heard a very loud bang and the car stalled. A few seconds later, there was a large amount of smoke coming from under the hood. I opened the hood to see a large fire had started. My son, who heard the loud bang, came outside and saw the flames from under the hood. He ran into the house, grabbed a fire extinguisher, and attempted to put out the fire. He got the fire out but it was difficult. I had the car looked at by a mechanic and told me that the intake manifold had literally exploded. He has stated that he has never seen anything like this. It appears that the exploding manifold ruptured a fuel line. He told me there was a recall on this vehicle relating to a rupturing manifold and leaking fuel but that my vehicle had already had the recall performed. He thought that the new parts may be defective which is why I am reporting this incident.

The contact owns a 2000 Buick LeSabre. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40-45 MPH, the front end of the vehicle started shaking uncontrollably. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to continue to drive the vehicle at a slower speed. The vehicle was taken to the independent mechanic who diagnosed that the tie rod nuts had failed and the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 99V301000 (Steering). The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that they could not repair the vehicle under the recall because the VIN was not included in the recall. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving. The contact also stated that the vehicle was experiencing the failure listed in NHTSA Campaign Number: 04V090000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not provide any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 139,000.

CLUNK WHEN TURNING THEN LOSS OF CONTROL WHEN STEERING, MECHANIC FOUND FRACTURED POWER STEERING RACK.

BRAKE LINES RUSTING EVEN THOUGH I REPLACED THE RUSTY BRAKE LINES BEFORE. THE FIRST TIME THEY ROTTED THROUGH AND I COULD NOT STOP BUT FORTUNATELY I WAS GOING SLOW AND USED EMERGENCY BRAKE.

The plastic pice holding the throttle lines snapped off and my cable went under my bracket and it took off I destroyed the Transmission putting it in neutral to stop the vehicle after I had gotten it stoped the fire from the engine was small I will recommend this car and yes I do want another one but it is a common issue I will recomed this car because the body is made out of steel and they are basicly tanks with the 3800 Series II and it was easy for me to spot what was happening and get ahead of it before it got worse I drove 5 miles with this happening before the engine overheated and caught fire

AS I WAS DRIVING MY BUICK LESABRE 2000 MY WINDOWS LOCK UP ON ME IT WAS A VERY HOT SUMMER SO THE ELECTRICAL WINDOWS WITH NO GO UP AND DOWN. THE ENGINE IS BAD. 1490000 MILES. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS PROBLEMS. THE CAR WIRING IS LOOSE AND CAN BE A DANGEROUS. I TRIED TO PULL WINDOW DOWN AND REPAIR ITS MANUALLY FROZEN WITH NO POWER. MY SEAT ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH HARD IRON WIRE.

FRONT SUSPENSION NOISE DUE TO BROKEN SWAY BAR LINKS RUSTED FRONT RIGHT AND FRONT LEFT. FRONT BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINE BADLY RUSTED BUT NOT LEAKING YET. IF FRONT FUEL LINE LEAKS IT WILL LEAK ONTO ENGINE REAR TO CAUSE FIRE. IF FRONT BRAKE LINE LEAKS I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP CAR.

FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION MOUNT. *TR

AT TIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SWITCH FROM HIGH BEAM TO LOW BEAM LIGHTS TURN OFF . WHEN THIS HAPPENS THERE IS A CAR COMING OTHER WAY. *TR

PULLING BACK THE "SMART STICK" TO CHANGE HEAD BEAMS FROM LO TO HI REQUIRES EFFORT THAT MANY NOT BE ENOUGH SO ... THE HI BEAM BECOMES A "PASSING" HI BEAM. ONCE ACHIEVED TO HI BEAM AND RELEASED, A SECOND PULL BACK OF THE "SMART STICK" AND RELEASING MAY TURN OFF BOTH HI & LO BEAMS ALTOGETHER! SO PULL BACK THE 'SMART STICK' A SECOND TIME AND RELEASE. ALWAYS WORKS THE SECOND ATTEMPT. *TR

THIS CAR BEGAN TO SHOW SIGNS OF FRONT END WOBBLE A FEW MONTHS AGO. THIS MEANS IT FEELS LIKE THE WHEELS SHAKE FROM SIDE TO SIDE MOSTLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM 30 TO 45 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ABOUT A MONTH AGO BUT HE SAID HE ONLY FELT IT ONE TIME WHILE DRIVING IT SEVERAL BLOCKS AROUND THE DEALERSHIP NEIGHBORHOOD. I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE IMMEDIATELY AFTER I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY BALANCED THE BRIDGESTONE TIRES AND THE WOBBLE SEEMED TO BE LESSENED. I THEN TOOK IT HOME AND REPLACED THE REAR ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS AS THEY SEEMS TO VIBRATE WHEN WE PUT THE PARKING BRAKE ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS SEEMED TO HELP SMOOTH IT OUT AT THE TIME. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR SO SHE DRIVES IT AND IN LESS THAN A MONTH SHE SAID IT IS WOBBLING AGAIN. I DROVE IT AGAIN TONIGHT AND IT IS MUCH WORSE THAN BEFORE SO I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS SUSPENSION. THIS CAR HAS BEEN UNDER A WARRANTY FROM WARRANTY WAREHOUSE FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS AND WE HAVE HAD SOME REPAIRS MADE AT THE DEALER AND EACH TIME WE ASK THEM TO CHECK THE FRONT END AS IT MADE GRINDING NOISES AND NEVER SEEMED TO HANDLE AS IT SHOULD. EACH TIME THE DEALER SAID IT WAS OK. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MANY REPORTS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING FRONT END ISSUES WITH BUICK LESABRES. WE ALSO HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY SINCE IT WAS REPAIRED. WE HAVE HAD IT BACK FOR THIS ISSUE AT LEAST THREE TIMES. UPDATED 10/4/11 *CN UPDATED 10/31/11 *BF *TR

DT: THE DASH LIGHT IN THE CONSUMER'S 2000 BUICK LASABRE WORK INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT ARE BRIGHT, LOW, OR COMPLETELY OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INSTALLED A SENSOR WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO INFORMED HIM THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO THE PROBLEM. *NM *SB

CPSC: PROGRESSIVE PASSPORT DEVICE PLUGGED IN ODBC READER FOR 2000 BUICK LESABRE. POWER CUT OFF FROM CAR AND BATTERY LIGHT WENT ON WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 25 MPH. *DT THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. *JS

I HAVE A 2000 BUICK LESABRE AND THE REAR WINDOW REGULATORS WERE MADE POORLY AND THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE CABLE IN BROKE, SO FAR ON BOTH BACK DOORS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER WANTS OVER 400.00 TO REPAIR THAT WOULD BE OVER 800.00 AND THEY WILL BREAK AGAIN IN TIME DUE TO POOR CONSTRUCTION. I HAVE A PART ORDERED FOR ONE, AND WILL HAVE TO REPAIR THE OTHER WHEN I CAN AFFORD IT. ONE BROKE ON THE 4TH OF SEPT AND THE OTHER WENT THE NEXT DAY. AFTER GOING ONLINE I FOUND THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR BUICK OWNERS. I AM THE 2ND OWNER AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE LEFT SIDE IS NEWER BY THE LOOKS OF THE PLASTIC GEAR THAT THE CABLE ROLLS AROUND IN THE MOTOR, SO THIS COULD BE THE 2ND TIME IT IS REPLACED. *TR

ALL BUT THE 1 DRIVERS SIDE SEATBELTS WONT LOCK IN PLACE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGERS

WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THE BOLTS ON MY REAR BRAKE PAD BROKE IN HALF AND THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO MOVE FORWARD, HAD TO DRIVE MY CAR BACKWARDS HOME LUCKILY I WAS ONLY A BLOCK AWAY FROM HOME. THE 2 FRONT WINDOWS WILL NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN, KEEP HAVING TO REPLACE THE HOSE THAT LEADS TO MY RADIATOR, WHEN I MAKE RIGHT TURNS THE CAR VIBRATES, TWO FRONT SEAT BELTS HAVE STOP LOCKING ALL TOGETHER AND THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY SORT OF CRASH OR ACCIDENT, FRONT DASH IS STARTING TO LIFT CONSIDERABLY. I ADORE MY VEHICLE AND I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING RID OF IT, BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH ON THIS CAR. *TR

THE HEATER SEAT CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. *JB

FUEL TANK AND SENDING LINES NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO O-RINGS IMPROPERLY FITTED ON FUEL PUMP. IN JULY 2000, VEHICLE WAS MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN TURNING OR GOING OVER A BUMP. FRONT/REAR TRANSMISSION MOUNTS WERE DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS. DEALERSHIP PUT A SEALER ON THIS, BUT IT FAILED TO CORRECT DEFECT. *AK THE DEALER HAD REPLACED MOTOR, TRANSMISSION MOUNTS, POWER STEERING LINES, GASKET TO CATALYTIC CONVERTOR AND SWITCH FOR HEATED SEAT. *YH

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

SHORTLY AFTER TAKING DELIVERY OF VEHICLE WHICH HAD 60 MILES ON IT,I NOTICED WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR ACCELERATING WHEN TURNING THE CAR LOST POWER.I WOULD PRESS THE GAS AND IT WOULDN'T GO.TOOK TO PAUL BATT BUICK & SKILL BUICK MANY,MANY TIMES,NEVER FOUND PROBLEM.AT 30K MILES,BUICK SAID I SHOULD CHANGE FLUID & CHECK THE PAN FLUID,WHICH SHOWED NOTHING.PROBLEM STILL OCCURS.THIS COULD BE A HAZARD IF VEHICLE BEHIND ME THINKS I'M MOVING AND CAR SLOWS TO A NEAR STOP W/O BRAKE LIGHTS GOING ON. I HAVE 55K MILES ON IT NOW & PROBLEM STILL OCCURS.NEITHER BUICK OR THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM.SKILL BUICK AND PAUL BATT BUICK WERE LESS THAN HELPFUL.
