1995 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
"The second worst car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Two of the power windows failed first and then the power door locks. The master brake cylinder had to be replaced at 30K and the car has had perpetual suspension squeaks. At 60K a recurring oil leak occurred and despite close monitoring an engine bearing went out at 63K requiring a rebuilt replacement engine. Minor annoying transmission leaks occur today.
General comments?
The suspension is very soft and cornering is sometimes a concern.
