2002 Buick LeSabre Limited from North America - Comments

All the power window switches failed.

The half of the radio light were out.

Radio control switches on steering wheel were not working.

All items repaired under GM certified warranty. Boy I am glad the car came with the warranty.

Drivers seat seems to have sagged a little.

Nice driving car. No problem taking long trips.

Gets 29 MPG. Great for a 5 passenger car.

Engine pulls hard going up the mountains.

Comfortable seating with heated six way leather seats.

Heads Up display convenient. Don't have to look down at the dash to see speed.

I bought an 02 LeSabre limited new off Buick's lot and have enjoyed this car immensely during the 3 years I have owned it... As I did the 97 LeSabre I traded in on it... I have had no problems at all with it and the ride is excellent. It goes very well in snow and on wet roads.. I am pleased with the gas mileage and the stabilitrac that kept me on the road when most vehicles around me were hrydroplaning into the ditches and trees during a sudden blinding rainstorm.. I actually felt the force of my car being slowed and held straight, scary, but safely... The cruise control automatically kicks off in a situation like this.. I think the most impressive factor, to me, is that it is a safe car, and I feel confident when I have precious passengers with me.. Onstar onboard also contributes to my security.. I love my LeSabre! PS.. I won't mention my speeding tickes..LOL.

I have a 2002 Buick LeSabre Limited, purchased new, with 175,000 kilometers on it in three years. Have a problem with the steering wheel control button lights going out, as well as others on the A/C dash panel. Now the heater motor is hit or miss whether it wants to run or not. Light bulbs in the trunk cover are a mystery to replace. Otherwise, car has been problem free, good gas mileage and satisfactory 3.8 power. Enjoyable car to drive.

Purchased a 2002 Buick Le sabre Custom with 30,000 miles on it. I have owned the car nine months and it has been in the shop seven times. Electrical system failures, power window failures, air flow failures. Honestly one of the worst cars I have ever owned. I have owned many Buicks before, and not had these issues, but it seems as though everyone I meet that has a late model Buick is having these same problems.

To the person with the problems (7 shop visits) : Have you checked the title to see if it was a salvaged car? In a Flood recently? That would be my first thought.

Sorry to hear about your problems. Once GM fixed my interior switch and lighting problems the car has been a dream. Of course with 80K on it now I have had to replace the tires, shocks, brakes, you know the normal wear and tear items, but other than that it has been a great car need very little garage time.

An update on the Buick. An outstanding car! Gas, oil, new set of tires (the ones on it when I purchased it had 50,000 miles on them) and off we go. No major issues after the dealer fixed the original problems noted in 2004. A shame they stopped making them.

I bought my 2002 Buick Le Sabre Limited in November of 2003. It had 12,700 miles on it. It has been a reliable car as far as any major things. The gas mileage is great for a full size car. I average 24.7 mpg combined driving. My complaints are with the little things. We've had to replace the headlamps and tail lights several times. The heated seat on the driver's side stopped working 2 years ago. Some of the interior lights stopped working two or three years ago. The back wall of the trunk will not stay up. I could go on, but you get the picture. I would think a long time before buying another Buick.

Original commenter again: Just hit 100,000 miles. Only out of the ordinary problems are a failed hydraulic motor mount and broken sway bar bolt. Both were found at the same time. Just tuned it up and changed the tranny and radiator fluids this summer. Averaging 26 mpg. Oh, and the light on the steering wheel cruise control button has gone out again. Other than that car has been great.
