1999 Buick LeSabre review from North America
"It was good until recently, it was a good riding car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We had an intermittent problem with it stalling out at stops.
Hesitation at startup.
General comments?
After spending $1,074.00, to replace the ignition module and all coils, spark plug wires, fuel system flush and ejector cleaning, the car still did not run well.
The car was returned, three weeks later, to dealer for a recheck. The car had developed a problem of surging forward when stopping. The problem found this time was a leaking diaphragm in the plastic intake. The service adviser stated this was a common problem for the 3.8 l engine.
