1995 Buick Lesabre complaints

THE MOTOR IN QUESTION WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER 14 MONTHS AGO AT 50000+ MILES AND HAS FAILED ONCE AGAIN AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 TIMES OF USE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE IN REPLACEMENT AND WAS GIVEN NO ASSISTANCE OTHER THAN REFERRAL TO THE DISTRICT REP FOR BUICK. HE INFORMED ME THAT (AS A CONSUMER HE AGREED THE PART SHOULD NOT FAIL SO QUICK) BUT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUICK HAD NO RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THEREFORE, HE COULD NOT APPROVE THE REPAIR. I FEEL THE FAILURES ARE PREMATURE AND THAT BUICK SHOULD REPAIR AT NO EXPENSE TO THE CONSUMER.

WHILE TRAVELING AT 25 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CAME FROM THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE ROAD & HIT CONSUMER HEAD-ON. UPON IMPACT, THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, DRIVER'S AIR BAG CAUSED THE DRIVER TO BE BURNED ON BOTH FOREARMS, LEFT HAND AND WRIST SWELLED AS A RESULT OF AIR BAG IMPACT. *AK

AIRBAG MODULE ON THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSES THE HORN TO BLOW INTERMITTENTLY

ABS VALVE BLOCK FAILED . AM REPORTING THIS FAILURE SINCE IT IS THE SECOND ABS BRAKE FAILURE OF TWO GM AUTOMOBILES WE CURRENTLY OWN. OUR 1992 CHEVY CAPRICE WAGON ABS SYSTEM FAILED WHEN IT HAD 49,978 MILES ON IT. NOW THE 1995 BUICK, WHICH HAS 55700 MILES ON IT HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED AN ABS BRAKE FAILURE. WE CAN UNDERSTAND AN ISOLATED FAILURE. BUT HAVING TWO GENERAL MOTORS AUTOMOBILES AND BOTH CARS EXPERIENCING ABS BRAKE FAILURES LEAD US TO BELIEVE THAT GENERAL MOTORS HAS A PROBLEM WITH ABS SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT ITS VARIOUS FLEETS. REQUEST YOUR OFFICES RESEAARCH THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THE INTENTION OF HAVING A RECALL OF ALL CARS SO AFFECTED IF NECESSARY. THE TWO ABS FAILURES TOTAL MORE THAN $2200.00 IN REPAIRS.
