2000 Buick LeSabre limited review from North America
"Cannot give thumbs up on future of gm cars."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intake manifold leaked cooling fluid into the combustion chamber causing a miss in the motor and hard to start.
Torque converter had to be replaced after one week.
Power windows, left rear cable pulled out of plastic.
Cooling liquid level indicator sensor had to be replaced, cooling level indicator light kept coming on.
Fuel pressure regulator " factory recall "
General comments?
Both of us love the cars room and handling, traction in the snow and all round comfort of the ride.
However it is a financial burden, we cannot afford to keep this car roadworthy.
The 3.8 motor is a beast, and has plenty of power to keep those little imports from cutting you off to take the next exit, I love doing that.
