BOTH (DRIVER AND PASSENGER) FRONTAL AIRBAGS ON MY 1995 BUICK LESABRE DEPLOYED WITHOUT REASON ON JUNE 27TH AND 28TH 2015. ON THE 27TH, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT. NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THOUGH IT SPILLED SODA OVER THE BACK SEAT. ON THE 28TH THE DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON I76, GOING ABOUT 70 MPH. MY RIGHT WRIST WAS INJURED AND IS RED AND SWOLLEN BUT I DO NOT THINK IT'S BROKEN. THE HORN THEN STAYED ON AND I EVENTUALLY PULLED OVER AND REMOVED THE FUSE FOR IT. (BTW WHICH DUMB ASS PUT THE HORN ON THE SAME FUSE AS THE POWER LOCKS AND INTERIOR LIGHT?) IN NEITHER CASE WAS THERE A COLLISION OF ANY KIND THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO GO OFF. I NOTICED AN AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD AFTER THE FIRST AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, COULD HAVE BEEN ON BEFOREHAND BUT I DIDN'T NOTICE IT UNTIL AFTER.

WE CALLED OUR INSURANCE COMPANY THE NEXT MORNING TO GET A CLAIM STARTED BUT IT MAY NOT BE COVERED, DROVE THE CAR BACK HOME FOR OVER 800 MILES AND RESEARCHED WHAT TO DO. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

17 complaints

I HAD MY FRONT BRAKES REPLACED AS THEY WERE IN NEED OF IT DUE TO UNEVEN STOPPING, BUT REASON MORE SO WAS THE ABS LIGHT WOULD KEEP COMING ON. THE BRAKES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO FAIL, NOT ALLOWING YOU TO COME TO QUICK STOP AS NEEDED, EVEN AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. THIS STILL HAPPENS EVEN AFTER BRAKE WORK WAS DONE. MECHANIC SAID THE ABS SENSOR WAS IN THE WHEEL BEARING AND WOULD COST OVER $300 TO CHANGE THAT. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, FOR EXAMPLE, SHOULD SOMEONE PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I AM UNABLE TO STOP DUE TO ABS FAILURE. AFTER THE LIGHT COMES ON, AFTER INITIAL FAILURE TO STOP, THEN IT WORKS FINE UNTIL IT SITS FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND REPEATS IT AGAIN. THIS IS VERY SCARY SITUATION AND NOW CONSIDERING OUR DAUGHTER, 16, IS DRIVING TOO MAKES IT EVEN MORE OF A HUGE CONCERN.

THE 95 BUICK LESABRE, I HAVE OWNED THREE OF THEM NOW, AND THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME I'VE REPLACE THE IGNITION CYLINDER AND KEYS DUE TO A SECURITY SYSTEM PROBLEM. THIS IS ABOUT A 500.00 PROBLEM EVERY TIME! FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I'M A SINGLE FATHER AND DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BE SHELLING OUT WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. FROM WHAT THE REPAIR FACILITY SAID THIS COULD BE FIXED WITH A LINKABLE FUSE, SO THAT FUSE WOULD GO INSTEAD OF THE IGNITION WIRES BURNING UP. THIS REALLY IS A SIMPLE WAY AROUND SPENDING 1,500.00 DOLLARS ON THIS PROBLEMS. THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY I WON'T BUY AN AMERICAN CAR AGAIN. *TR
