general problems of the 2000 Buick Lesabre

I had problem with windows not rolling up and down. After I took my Buick to pep boys 3325 124th Ave NW coon rapids mn electric mechanic found out that my window power switch is damaged after rain storm. Later I experienced the following problems with vehicle: 1 strange engine noise while running 2 pushing forward once release foot from brake. Pep boys mechanic looked at all these problems and told me everything looks ok but I need to get engine diagnostic done with pep boys. I got schedule for that. Meanwhile I ended up in car traffic problem because of fire of my vehicle.

The contact owns a 2000 Buick Lesabre. While parked, smoke appeared from the rear passenger side where the battery was located. The contact exited the vehicle and had the battery removed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the battery was tested, but the cause of the failure could not be found. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN and failure mileage were unknown.

There was a clicking sound on the right passenger side for about 30 seconds coming down my driveway and then it stopped. I thought maybe a small tree branch got stuck in my wheel well, so I continued onto the highway and drove about 6 miles and stopped at an animal shelter. White smoke started to come from under the car so I popped the hood and got out just as black smoke started and as was going to open the hood the flames were coming out from under the hood and someone used two fire extinguishers and then two water hoses to put out the fire. The car is a total loss and I don't understand what happened, because it was in excellent condition. Someone at the scene thought it was an electrical problem. The car had been in excellent condition and very clean under the hood. And I had it serviced regularly.

The contact owns a 2000 Buick Lesabre. The contact stated that the electrical system in the vehicle became inoperable. The contact stated that the security and engine warning indicators illuminated. The failure was persistent. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The contact stated that the bracket module and coals were replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 137,000.

The key comes out of the ignition cylinder lock. I have had my key replaced twice. The security light comes on and the car dash says unknown driver. Even though I have had the keys replaced which, when aaa had a locksmith come out to make me a key, the technician says that the cylinder lock had been filed down. With this possibly being the issue it is very dangerous for me and 8 year old daughter. The key should never come out of the cylinder lock and now my mechanic is talking like this has likely caused problems for the bcm. I am needing some assistance in this matter. The car starts when it wants to and if it doesn't start it takes a couple of days then resets. This is a big headache when this is the only transportation I have to get to work and take my daughter to school.

Starting early June my son called me to inform me that the Buick was stalling out on him all the time. He said that he could be driving at any speed and the car would just shut off, causing all electrical, steering, and brakes to not work. He attends school in western pennsylvania in the mountains and this worried me. I had the vehicle serviced and each time was diagnosed with different things and nothing fixed the problem. I have since switched vehicles with him for his safety and have contacted my local Buick dealership to find that the ignition cylinder is the cause of the failure that the ignition cylinder is periodically loosing connection to the key which has a chip in it (quits talking to), and shuts the vehicle off. Like an alarm feature. The dealership informed me that this has been an on going problem with the Lesabre and other vehicles for quite a while. In order to fix it I will have to purchase a new ignition cylinder, possibly a couple of keys, have them sent to a locksmith, get them keyed to the cylinder, then install the new ignition cylinder. Yet it is not one of the vehicles listed on the gm ignition recall list. How can such a safety issue go overlooked and also unreported. The vehicle is an excellent vehicle while running but I feel that gm should face the fact and take ownership for all of these ignition failures not just a few makes and models but all gm manufactured vehicles. This is an extreme safety issue, my son said he was nearly rearended when the vehicle shut off on him a number of times at different speeds while trying to pull off the road for safety. Or he was stuck holding up the flow of traffic with people beeping at him while he had to wait in the middle of the road till the car would start again. Pretty scary!!! thank you,! and please look out for the little guy and hold gm responsible.

I have a 2000 Buick Lesabre that dies at random driving down road,sitting at traffic light,basically when ever it feels like.

Pressed power window switch to lower window and glass fell into door cavity. Switch became inactive. Glass would not move.

I am on my 6th window assembly replacement. Why would they want to keep putting the same defective parts back into your car? the last one I had to pay for at $400. The other 4 were under warranty, the first at 17,000. Now, I am going to not have this one repaired as I cannot afford it. Guess when it's 125 degrees in my car in the summer I'll just have to open all the doors to cool it off! can't put the windows down!.

There is water coming into the back floor board behind drivers seat of my 2000 bucik Lesabre. Unable to find where leak is and now I have smell I cannot get rid of. The water is even there when no rainfall present.

Two window motors failed. The first one occurred two months after the 36 month warranty and the second three months later.

The power windows failed 6 times.

Consumer feels that vehicle's main computer module is defective. If vehicle is driven over 50 mile distance, all the various warning chimes will sound. The air bag light will illuminate and all doors will lock. Dealer unable to determine exact cause of problem. Ph.

Consumer states while the car was running a fire started under the hood. Ts prior to fire vehicle lost electric power and warning lights on dash flashed on. Air temp sensor, air intake duct, inner and outer air cleaner assembly replaced. Washer reservoir replaced. Pcm repgorammed.

Two complaints. One-coolant leaking on hot engine parts from defective intake manifold plenum. Two- car stalls on occasion while driving resulting in no power steering or brakes.

Gas gauge dose not work.
