Faults:

Fuel pump went at 190,000 - not too bad for the original one.

Hood latch needed replacement a month ago.

Car is finally starting to rust at 15 years old!

General Comments:

The car is a big boat with hearty acceleration, very comfortable.

People can use the backseat as a couch!

Handles surprisingly well for a land yacht!

Faults:

My car will not idle/rev up.

ABS dash light is always on.

When I twist the key to turn the car on, the brake dash light comes on. When the car does turn on, it may turn off, and the brakes tighten up and the steering wheel tightens.

Please HELP a.s.a.p.

General Comments:

The car is a luxury status car, and gets the job done every now and then.

Faults:

I replaced the battery like 4 months ago.

Now I think my starter went out, because it won't even turn over now, but all the lights come on.

I loved the car; it is just great.

I just hate it when it breaks down, and I don't know what's wrong with it.

Despite the specific problems listed, this Lesabre has proven to be a reliable, comfortable family sedan that has happily carried me and my family across town and country for the last decade. Ample trunk space provided room for luggage on cross-country trips from Oklahoma to Florida three years ago, and pushed 27-30 mpg fuel performance down and back. Its ongoing performance at 154K miles has made me a believer in the GM 3800 engine series.

Although its age is starting to show, and leading to more numerous, and more expensive repairs, I can heartily endorse this fine Buick product. Its unfortunate that the current replacement for my LeSabre would run close to $30,000 - and that's just out of my budget. If not for that, I'd already have bought a *fourth* consecutive LeSabre...

I have not had too many problems with this car. The one thing that I had work done on is the spark plugs, and spark plug wires. The engine began to stall out or even sporadically die while the car was engaged in gear. I took it to the dealership and they said nothing was wrong. This continued on and off for a few months, until a friend recommended a local mechanic. The mechanic had experience with this problem, and knew exactly what to do. It turned out that he owned a 94 Park Avenue, that had been having the same problem.

There are several things I love about this car. To start off with, it has a beautiful shape. The large body heralds back to the time of the classic big body cars that were expected from U.S. car makers.

There is also plenty of room. the interior has more than enough room for people my size. I am 6 foot 4 inches tall, and don't have any problem getting in our out of the car. It also has a great trunk space to pack full of groceries, or build a box for some thump in the trunk!
