1998 Buick LeSabre Limited review from North America
"Fairly solid performer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air Conditioner Compressor failed at 120,000 kilometers.
Driver side power window motor failed and had to be replaced at 110,000 kilometers.
When hot the car vibrates when accelerated if transmission is hot. Service Technicians have been unable to determine the problem.
Traction control kicks in rather early and is quite loud.
This is a great highway car and would buy another just for the ride.
Wind noise is rather high and if windows are opened at highway speed, don't fully seal when closed.
