general problems of the 2001 Buick Lesabre

Turned the key in ignition just past click and heard a loud bang in engine under hood. I looked under the car and seen flames. Within 18 minutes the whole car was in totally on fire. The volunteer fire department came and put it out. We did a search on the internet and discovered we are not the only ones to experience this.

Rear window falls down. Known problem in bucks. Very costly temporary fix as window will not stay up for long and will fall down again. My daughter had to drive the car home from school in 10 degree weather after the window fell down. Buick and government protection agency should be ashamed.

Dash peeling up at windshield on drivers side about half way to passengers side.

My daughter, son-in-law, and grandson stopped at my mother's house for just a few min. Then they were going to drive on to my house. We all live within 5 miles of each other. They were all inside my mom's house when they heard and explosion. After looking outside, they seen the car on fire. They are lucky to be here. Its a miracle. Your company should have to compensate them for malfunctioning parts.

The gas hand said it was full, when I drove off the parking lot. . I didn't get off the road, when the car ran out of gas. Cars blowing horns.

Several times beginning in approximately March 2015, my car began to stall while at signal. One time the car quit while driving. The ignition does not work properly, sometimes it will turn the car over to start, other times it will not. I did not know about the recall. I purchased my Buick at a lien sale. I am worried the car may have the problem indicated in the recall. I had two mechanics check the battery (replaced) alternator (tested good) and they checked fuel injection and air intake. The problem continues to happen. I would sincerely appreciate it if a general motors dealer could please check my car.

All power windows have failed.

The dash pad is peeling and warping and I found a site that told me to report it here as a lot of people are having the same issue with several years of the Lesabre.

The interior front dashboard has curled up starting from the front windshield extending across to the glove compartment. Upon researching this I have found that most 2001 Buick Lesabres have had the same problem. General motors has not rectified this problem with any recall or recourse. From my understanding this effects the airbags and cause them to deploy unexpectedly. Does someone have to be seriously injured or god forbid killed because of an exploding airbag until general motors acts on their responsibility to correct this unforeseen defect. Please help us owners and have general motors recall the 2001 Buick Lesabre. . Thank you.

Dashboard top is separating and buckling in area between steering wheel and windshield. It started slowly when I first purchased the car and has progressively gotten worse with time. While researching the problem, I found this to be a common issue. I'm worried that as the dashboard separation gets worse, it will affect the passenger air bag and/or vehicle electronics in the dashboard area leading to an accident.

I left my window open for about five minutes during a rain storm and the left side buttons on my steering wheel controlling music only works pressing the bottom of the switches. The top of the switches have no result: therfore I lost my scanning the stations as well as seek downwards. Now 2 months later without any water contact I am now losing my am/fm mode button unless I press like I want to kill it. The window switches for the left rear have now died and I am being told I need to pay for a reset of that left rear door module and then the switch should work ok. What is gm thinking of, making their switches less waterproof than 50 years ago, and why should I have to pay if it is a computer reset. Thanks for no help!, gm.

We have had all 4 of our window regulators replaced on our 2001 Buick Lesabre within a month of each other. The windows fall down unexpectedly. It has cost us $200 each to have them replaced. I personally will never own another Buick if this is the way gm handles things. Also, the dashboard skin has peeled away on the driver's side and slowly proceeding to the passenger side.

I have had to replace all four power window motors, the dash is coming apart and is raised blocking some visibility and potentially affecting the air bag deployment in an accident. In addition, it seems to me that braking vibration / pulsation has been a problem on all five of my Buick Lesabres.

The dash board peeled up. The passenger side airbag is in the area where parts are loose. There have been many reports of this problem in the Buick lasabre. I am very concerned the passenger airbag cannot deploy as intended with the dash situation. The date has been estimated as the original owner is now deceased.
