Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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”
NHTSA complaint #10716364, filed 2015-05, 70,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10750254, filed 2015-08, 70,000 miles“In jan. 2005 the battery posts corroded off and acid leaked onto floor causing a hole....GM replaced battery....now I have both rear windows fall down and I had to wire them up from inside the door panel to keep them up. No response from GM. Then the left front window fell and I did same thing to it...dealer just says it is roughly 500.00 a door to fix....this is ridiculous..I have bought only buicks for last 41 yrs and will rethink buying the next one.”
NHTSA complaint #10126059, filed 2005-06, 52,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10943700, filed 2017-01, 70,000 miles“The leather covering on the dash detached from the dashboard at the windshield on the driver side of the car. Our concern is; if the car is in a crash will the airbag or impact cause the remainder of the dash to detach and cause additional injury to the passengers. Buick claims there is no safety issue and will not repair the dash.”
