1997 Buick LeSabre limited review from North America
"Love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hello,
My name is Roy Dobson, and I have a 1997 buick lesabre limited.
I have had this car for about 7 months now and in june of this year I was going on vacation when all of the sudden the rpm gauge started to chuge at low rpm speed at about 1000-2500 rpms.
Now when I speed up it would be fine and would not do it for a minute then it would do it again. It was a little noticeable when you would drive on a level grade, but when you started to go uphill it would get worse.
It only seems to do it when the car is warm, and I took it to canadian tire for a diagnostics and they said nothing was wrong even on the road test.
If anyone has any ideas could you please email me with a solution of what it could be at roy_dobson@hotmail.com that would be very apreciated.
Yours truly,
Roy Dobson.
General comments?
I really like this car except the chuging rpm problem.
