LeSabre
- Automatic transmission
- 25,000 miles
The transmission completely froze on my 2001 Buick LeSabre. Towed to the dealer. Warranty had expired. Approx $4,000 estimate. I called GM and complained that NO transmission should break at 25,000 miles. GM called the dealer. I had it repaired for the cost of labor ($800). My window motor broke while it was still under warranty. The dealer admitted that it was a "known" problem, and replaced ALL of the window motors for free.

LeSabre LX 3800
- Automatic transmission
- 98,000 miles
Purchased the car new, sticker price 26000. This is a popular 4 speed overdive that obviously has problems. Car was well taken care of garaged most of its life. This type of problem is unacceptable for a car with this mileage age and condition.

When going to the dealer to have "Service engine Soon" light checked out, found that the transmission needed major repairs to the tune of about $2000. Having done all the maintenance as suggested (service of trans at 70,000 miles) feel this is not right, and that there is a defect.. Never had another car have transmission problems. I do mainly highway driving. Any suggestions/help?

I think the problem began at 20,000 miles when I would get a slight hesitation in shifting. This was not a frequent occurance so I paid little attention after questioning the problem with my mechanic.
