DRIVING MY 1995 BUICK LESABRE I DROVE DOWN AND UP A SLIGHT ROAD VARIATION AND THEN HEARD A NOISE I TURNED RIGHT TO GET TO MY OFFICE UPON MAKING THE TURN I LOST ALL STEERING I GOT THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND LOOKED THE WHOLE UNDERCARRIAGE CRADLE WAS SITTING NEAR THE GROUND / I HAD THE CAR TOWED .. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THE BOLTS OF THE CRADLE( UNDER ENGINE SUPPORTS WERE BROKEN. THANK GOD I WASN'T DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY SURELY MYSELF OR SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR INJURED. THIS CAR MODEL HAS MANY OTHER CASES OF SIMILAR DEFECT I SAW ON LINE. THIS CAR SHOULD BE BANNED FROM THE ROADS. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000. 4/01/09 *NJ THE CONSUMER WAS INJURED AS A RESULT OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. UPDATED 04/06/09.*JB

THE 95 BUICK LESABRE, I HAVE OWNED THREE OF THEM NOW, AND THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME I'VE REPLACE THE IGNITION CYLINDER AND KEYS DUE TO A SECURITY SYSTEM PROBLEM. THIS IS ABOUT A 500.00 PROBLEM EVERY TIME! FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I'M A SINGLE FATHER AND DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BE SHELLING OUT WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. FROM WHAT THE REPAIR FACILITY SAID THIS COULD BE FIXED WITH A LINKABLE FUSE, SO THAT FUSE WOULD GO INSTEAD OF THE IGNITION WIRES BURNING UP. THIS REALLY IS A SIMPLE WAY AROUND SPENDING 1,500.00 DOLLARS ON THIS PROBLEMS. THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY I WON'T BUY AN AMERICAN CAR AGAIN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 BUICK LESABRE. THE VEHICLE HAS TBC MULTI-MILE MATRIX TIRES, SIZE P225/60R16.

THE TIRE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE BELT MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCES BEFOREHAND. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 109,880.

I HAVE MATRIX MULTI-MILE TIRES ON MY CAR THE NUMBERS ON THE TIRE ARE 95S P205/70R15MTS. MY CAR HAD BEEN SITTING FOR APPROX. 8 HOURS AND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE EXPLODED MAKING A BIT HOLE IN MY RIGHT FRONT FENDER. THE DAMAGES WERE ALMOST 800.00 AND I FEEL THAT THE OTHER ONES MAY DO THE SAME. THE TIRES WERE ALREADY ON THE CAR WHEN I HAD BOUGHT IT AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF TREAD ON THEM. THERE IS NO EXPLANATION OF THIS OCCURRENCE AND I FEEL THAT THE TIRE COMPANY SHOULD PAY FOR THE DAMAGES TO MY CAR AND ALSO REPLACE MY TIRES.*TR

MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED UNEXPECTEDLY AS I WAS DRIVING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS ABOUT 1 1/2 BLOCKS FROM MY HOME ON A QUIET RESIDENTIAL STREET WITH NO TRAFFIC. I WAS GOING 15-20 MPH. THE WAS NOTHING IN THE ROAD, WEATHER FINE. MY HANDS WERE BRUISED FROM THE IMPACT. MY RIGHT JAW AND EAR ARE SORE, RINGING AND MUFFLED EAR SOUNDS. NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN WHY THIS OCCURRED. I WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR A QUICK CHECK. MY INSURANCE IS QUESTIONING WHO IS RESPONSIBLE AND OUGHT TO PAY. MY CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BY THE SAME GARAGE SINCE I BOUGHT IT, FOR THE MOST PART, AND WAS RECENTLY SERVICED. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY OTHER TROUBLE WITH IT, AND IN GENERAL LIKE THE CAR VERY MUCH. BUT THIS INCIDENT REALLY SCARED ME. *TR
