What 1994 Buick Lesabre owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While merging onto i95 north my car shut completely off in the middle of moving traffic. I didn't even realize it was off until my little girl asked me to turn the radio back and my speed begin to decrease. It's very difficult to steer such a huge tank like my lesabre when the power steering gives. It cranks right up after shutting off as if nothing is even wrong, but this has happened always in stop and go traffic. It bothers me because my car is all I have and it's the only transportation that I have for traveling with my little girl.
Vehicle surges and stalls randomly while traveling. Occurs atleast twice daily.
Buick lasabre dies on highway while driving. Looses all power causing the driver to have to try to get off the highway while in heavy traffic while under no power. No brakes, power steering . Happens about 8 to 12 times a day. I drive 47 miles to work. Almost got rear ended 8 times, had to make unsafe turns to keep from having a dead car in the middle of the road to get totaled. Replaced coil packs per dealership recommendation. Still dies. Not even the dealership can diagnose the issue. Seems all mechanics want to pick a part to replace at random to see if it fixes the issue. There is no accountability here. Alot of elderly people drive these vehicles and they can't negotiate the car when this happens. When this begins to happen the car suddenly accelerates then sputters and dies. When this starts, if you keep patting the accelerator it sometimes helps to keep the engine running but not always.

1994 buick lasabre customer states that they noticed smoke coming from the dome light it was so hot that it melted the light cover and ruined the two sides of the bulb inserts*
The driver rear ended another vehicle while driving. As a result the passenger side air bag deployed and caused burns to the passengers thighs. The fumes emitted from the air bag also caused eye irritation and breathing problems. The passenger has developed asthma and has continued to experience eye irritation. The master cylinder was replaced because it leaked. The calipers were degreased, the alternator was replaced and the drivers side door locks were replaced. *scc
