2003 Buick Lesabre

2003 BUICK LESABRE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD HAD TO BE REPLACED IN 2009 WITH 50,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. FOUR AND A HALF YEARS LATER, THE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET WAS LEAKING AGAIN AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.. ALSO, THE LEVEL RIDE COMPRESSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. *JB

MY FRONT DASHBOARD HAS BEEN GRADUALLY COMING UNATTACHED NEAR THE WINDSHIELD. IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT IT IS HINDERING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. MY DAUGHTER IS JUST LEARNING TO DRIVE AND WE HAVE DECIDED IT IS NOT SAFE FOR HER TO USE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE HER VIEW OF THE ROAD IS BLOCKED BY THE LIFTED DASHBOARD. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY HAZARD AND I CANNOT BELIEVE BUICK HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DEFECT WHICH IS AFFECTING SO MANY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

STOPPED CAR IN PARKING LOT, TURNED OFF ENGINE. RETURNED TO CAR, STARTED ENGINE AND PUT IN REVERSE. CAR TOOK OFF WHEN THROTTLE BODY STUCK WIDE OPEN. CAR MADE WIDE CIRCLE'S, I TRIED TO STOP BY PUSHING ON BRAKE PEDAL, AFTER HITTING SEVERAL CEMENT PARKING CURBS AND THEN STRIKING ANOTHER CAR I WAS ABLE TO GET CAR STOPPED AND TURNED OFF ENGINE. *TR

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH A FAULTY WITH THE GAS CAP. THE ALERT I RECEIVE ON THE CAR STATES THAT THE GAS CAP IS LOOSE, THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE THOROUGHLY CHECKED OUT BY MY MECHANIC AND HE IS STUMPED AS TO HOW TO FIX THIS. WE HAVE REPLACED THE GAS CAP SEVERAL TIMES, HE HAS PERFORMED NUMEROUS CHECKS TO SEE IF THERE IS A LEAK IN THE GAS TANK OR FUEL LINES, ALL TO NO AVAIL. HE CANNOT DETECT A LEAK. I HAVE SPENT OVER $1000 TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM REMAINS UNFIXED AND WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT AND FAULT ACTIVE, THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT PASS STATE SMOG. *TR

MY 2003 BUCK LESABRE DASH HAS BUCKLED IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND IS SLOWLY MOVING TO THE PASSENGER SIDE NOW. THE BUCKLE IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOW SO HIGH THAT IT IS BECOMING A DRIVING HAZARD. IT IS ALSO PULLING AWAY IN FRONT OF PASSENGER SIDE IN FRONT OF PASSENGER AIRBAG. STARTED TO READ THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THE SAFETY HAZARDS INVOLVED SO I THOUGHT I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT. *TR

I HAVE A COMPLAINT TO ENTER. THE DASH BOARD COVER HAS SEPARATED ALMOST ALL THE WAY ACROSS ON MY 2003 BUICK LASABRE BEGINNNIG AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES. I AM BEING TOLD IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT MIGHT OPEN THE AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE AND INFLICT POSSIBLE DEATH OR INJURY TO PASSENGER. IT IS ALSO BEGINNING TO RAISE UP AT SEPARATION ENOUGH TO HAMPER VIEWING WHEN DRIVING. THIS CAR HAS ALSO HAD ALL FOUR WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED AND ONE IN BACK TWICE FOR A TOTAL OF 5 WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACEMENTS. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE ALINEMENTS ON FRONT END MORE TIMES THAN I EVER HAD ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE I EVER OWNED. THE ONLY THING THAT IS GOOD ABOUT THE VEHICLE IS THE ENGINE, I HAVE HAD NO COMPLAINT WITH IT SO FAR. ALMOST EVERYONE I HAVE TALKED TO THAT OWNS A BUICK 2003 HAS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE DASH BOARD. I HOLD GM LIABLE IF ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY DASH BOARD THAT MIGHT CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH TO MY PASSENGER. THERE ARE PROBABLY THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES WITH FAULTY DASH BOARDS. I NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A SINGLE WINDOW REGULATOR IN ANY CAR I EVER OWNED BEFORE. A CLASS LAWSUIT MIGHT BE THE ANSWER TO ALL THESE PROBLEMS. CAN YOU HELP US ?

DASHBOARD ON THIS CAR IS SEPARATING NEAR STEERING WHEEL. CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD EVENTUALLY IMPAIR VISIBILITY AND COULD AFFECT THE FUNCTIONING OF THE AIR BAGS. HOPE WE DON'T NEED TO WAIT TILL THERE ARE INJURIES OR FATALITIES BEFORE GM DECIDES TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM AND MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS ON THESE CARS. OWNED 1997 CENTURY THAT HAD NO PROBLEMS. VERY DISAPPOINTED AS REST OF THE CAR IS STILL IN GREAT SHAPE. CURRENTLY HAS UNDER 50K MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *TR
