problem #1
2009Mar 26
LeSabre SE 3.8L
- Automatic transmission
- 70,000 miles
Thanks to AutoBeef, found this is a common problem with the engine, and also that the repair can fix the problem. I guess it's a pretty good engine with this one glaring problem. Car had coolant seeping into the cylinders from the crack, dark smelly smoke and then died. Towed and repaired for about $1000 at national chain. I was told it could have been done by a "local shop" for about $700.

I know the car is 12 years old, but come on, failure at 75,000 miles? I thought this was suppose to be one of the best engines made. This care was very well taken care of. Literally driven to church and back by a little old lady, my mom. Never had a check engine light or any other indication. Heater started blowing cold air and engine would not restart after pulling over and parking to add water.
