2000 Buick Lesabre complaints

THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE OVER HEATED CAUSING THE HEAD GASKET TO BLOW OUT AND THE HEAD VALVES TO BE WARPED. YH

WHEN FUEL TANK IS FILLED TO MAX, VEHICLE WILL QUIT WHILE DRIVING AND HAS TO BE TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL. DO NOT FILL GAS TANK TO FULL. WE FEEL THIS POLICY WOULD BE UNSAFE FOR ANYONE WHO DID NOT RECEIVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS, FILLED TO FULL, AND PULLED ONTO A MAIN THOROUGHWAY.

WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL, FUEL LEAKS FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER HAS NOT CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

WHEN AIR CONDITIONER IS ON IT CAUSES ONE FORTH OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD TO FOG OVER, CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. THE WIPERS MUST BE TURNED ON OR THE AIR CONDITIONER TURNED OFF TO CLEAR. THIS OCCURS WHEN WINDOW IS COOL, EITHER EARLY MORNING OR LATE EVENINGS, WHEN THERE IS NOT SUN. *AK

ONGOING / INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE STALLS WHILE COMING TO A STOP OR IDLES WHILE RUNNING. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. CAN NHTSA HELP IN THIS MATTER. *AK

OWNER NOTED UNUSUAL SOUND WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PEDAL IN A HARD, BUT NOT PANIC, STOP. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER WAS EXTENDING OUT 1 INCH FROM FIREWALL WHEN HARD BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE WAS APPLIED. BRAKES FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE FOUR STUDS WHICH SECURE THE BRAKE BOOSTER TO THE FIREWALL WERE NOT TIGHTENED PROPERLY. THE FOUR NUTS WHICH SECURE THE FOUR BOOSTER STUDS TO THE FIREWALL WERE ONLY ENGAGED THE LENGTH OF THE NUT, LEAVING ABOUT 1 INCH OF THE STUD THREAD EXPOSED. OWNER FASTENED THREE OF THE FOUR NUTS, SINCE THE FOURTH STUD WAS OBSCURED BY THE STEERING COLUMN. THE FOURTH NUT WILL BE REFERRED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR DURING THE NEXT SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. BRAKES NOW FUNCTION OK WITHOUT NOISE OR BOOSTER MOVEMENT, BUT THIS FAILURE TO PROPERLY ASSEMBLE THE BOOSTER TO THE FIREWALL COULD HAVE CAUSED LOSS OF BRAKES IF THE FOUR NUTS HAD TOTALLY DISENGAGED FROM THE BOOSTER STUDS.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME OUT & STAYED. WOULD BE RISKING ENGINE SHUT DOWN IF KEPT DRIVING. CONTACTED DEALER 6 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR ENGINE PROBLEM. PARTS HAD BEEN REPAIRED, BUT THE PROBLEM WOULD REAPPEAR A FEW DAYS LATER. *AK
