2004 Buick Lesabre

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, THE THEFT SYSTEM WAS REPLACED AND BATTERY PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. *TS THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING: STALLING, GAUGES DYING OUT, ENGINE LIGHT AND SECURITY LIGHT ILLUMINATING, HARD TIMES STARTING THE ENGINE, RATTLE IN THE MIDDLE VENTS WHEN SET ON LOW, THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHT HAD GONE OUT, AND THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF CALIBRATION. MOST OF THE PROBLEMS WERE INTERMITTENT OCCURRENCES AND WERE HARD TO DUPLICATE. *SC

DT: THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER LIGHTS BEGAN TO SCATTER AND ILLUMINATED WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED, THE BATTERY AND AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUED TO STAY ON WHILE DRIVING FOR ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF. WHEN CONSUMER GOT HOME SHU OFF AENGINE AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART TO SEE IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. THERE WAS NO POWER IN THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. CALLED BUICK ROADSIDE ASSSITANCE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. A TOW TRUCK WAS SENT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO BUICK DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL AT DEALER. BUT CONSUMER WISHEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT AT THIS TIME.*AK

DT: CONTACT STATES THERE IS AN ODOR COMING FROM THE VENT WHILE THE HEAT OR AIR CONDITION IS IN USE. THE SERVICE DEALER INSTALLED AN ELECTRONIC DEODORIZER FAN. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALER TWICE SINCE THEN, AND THEY INSTALLED AN INTERIOR BOX FOR AN HOUR, AND SPRAYED THE VEHICLE WITH A DEODORIZER, AND CHECKED THE RECALL FAN.*AK

WHILE DRIVING A LOUD CLANKING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT. CONSUMER PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. WHILE ACCELERATING THE NOISE GOT LOUDER AND LOUDER. THE NEXT DAY CONSUMER STARTED THE VEHICLE, THEN IT STALLED. CONSUMER WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE, AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. *AK THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER BUT THE CONSUMER INDICATED THAT HE WAS UNSURE IF THE ENGINE WAS NEW(AS ORDERED) OR REBUILT. *BF *NM

GENERAL TIRES, 215/70R15. CONSUMER DISCARDED THE TIRES COMPLETELY. AND THE DOT# WAS NOT AVAILABLE. WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE BOUNCED ALL OVER THE ROAD. THE CONSUMER HAD THE TIRES BALANCED. BUT WHEN THE TIRES WERE COMPLETELY REMOVED CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED 100% BETTER WHEN THE TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER BRAND OF TIRES. *AK THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AS A RESULT WHILE GOING 65 MPH. TWO TIRES WERE REPLACED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, ONE OF THE NEW TIRES WERE BAD PLUS ONE OF THE GOOD TIRES HAD GONE BAD. *SC *JB

SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO CORRECT A PROBLEM WITH MY 2004 BUICK LESABRE. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH A REP FROM GM MOTORS WITHOUT SUCCESS. HE JUST KEPT STRINGING ME ALONG SAYING HE WOULD CALL, AT FIRST IT WAS EVERY WEEK THEN EVERY THREE DAYS - EACH TIME SAYING HE WAS CONDUCTING AN IVESTIGATION INTO THE PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AUG 17, 2004 AND THE PROBLEM HAS EXISTED SINCE "DAY ONE"! I DO NOT FEEL THE CAR IS SAFE! IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. A RE-PURCHASE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE WORKS BUT I GUESS THEY DON'T WANT THE CAR EITHER! NOT ONLY ARE THE SEAT COVERS BAD BUT THE VEHICLE KEEPS VIBRATING/WOBBLING! I HAVE ALL THE WORK ORDERS (EXCEPT FOR SOME VERBLE COMMENTS) TO SUPPORT MY COMPLAINT. I BOUGHT A NEW CAR I BELIEVE I SHOULD OWN A NEW CAR! PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS SITUATION CLEARED UP AND ME ON THE ROAD WITH A NEW CAR(SAFE) LIKE WAS PURCHASED IN THE FIRST PLACE! I WAS GOING TO RESORT TO REPORTING TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL BUT I'M HOPING THIS FORM WILL HELP ME OUT.*AK
