2004 Buick Lesabre Suspension Problems

“Several attempts were made to correct a problem with my 2004 Buick Lesabre. I have been dealing with a rep from GM motors without success. He just kept stringing me along saying he would call, at first it was every week then every three days - each time saying he was conducting an ivestigation into the problem. The car was purchased aug 17, 2004 and the problem has existed since day one ! I do not feel the car is safe! It has been back to the dealer several times. A re-purchase was supposed to be in the works but I guess they don't want the car either! …”

“My 2004 Buick Lesabre has had front vibration since it was new. Tires have been replace twice, two wheels have been replaced due to slight imperfections, wheels have been balance numerous time. The dealer did some extensive testing and eventually the vibration was within manufacturer's tolerance. They refused to take further action. The front end continues to vibrate and the car now has 33,000 miles.”

“The car feels very unstable, it wobbles and wanders at speeds over 40 MPH. It is made worse with winds over 10 MPH, going down hill, on an uneven surface, when a truck is passing and a speeds around 60-65 MPH. If all these symptoms come together the car is very very unstable. The feeling is very similar to going over a grooved road surface.”

“I purchased a used 2004 Buick Lesabre with 18000 miles. I can feel a vibration in my feet, seat, and the steering wheel at speeds above 60mph. The dealer checked the tires and replaced the right front tire saying it was out of round and that all the other tires were in balance and within spec.s. I have driven it for severals day now and I can't discern any improvement. I called the service dept. Back this morning and they recommended I purchase a $566 set of new tires! I think the problem is in the drivetrain but they won't even discuss that possibility.”

“The contact owns a 2004 Buick Lesabre. The contact stated while driving, the vehicle was making a loud noise. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed that both front wheel bearings failed due to corrosion, as a result both wheel hub bearings needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 60,000.”
