What owners say
The ABS braking light stays on, and extended stopping distance occurred which may result in a crash. Dealer notified. *ak
While driving about 30mph ABS light came on when driver applied brakes to stop about a foot in front of a vehicle ahead.
Abs brakes and the dashboard sensors do not operate properly. Dealer contacted, and diagnostic check was done. Found three troubled codes, and faulty ABS computer. Problems cannot be remedied, and still exists.
I have written buick motor division twice regarding this serious defect and have been denied any assistance or satisfaction. I received the typical boiler plate letter reply stating that because my vehicle was out of warranty and because it was seven years old they felt no responsibility to replace the components responsible for the ABS failure. I documented to them a five-year history of ABS failures in buick le sabres and park avenues, but they did not acknowledge the problem (I didn't expect them to). I believe the federal safety agency should investigate the buick's chronic ABS defective components and require buick to recall their product to replace the system components to protect the driving public from this serious safety defect. For confirmation of the ABS problem, I refer you to: ww.carpoint.msn.com/vip/reliabilitysummary/buick/lesabre.
