Used 2001 Buick LeSabre Consumer Reviews
Many problems
Bought car from my mom. Had 14,000 when I purchased her. This was all the mileage it had after 6 years. After driving the car for 4 months 3 of the 4 power window regulators failed. I doubt they were even used more than 50 times. The power steering chatters on hard turns. The dash electronics constantly go out. The radio/disc player constantly goes on and off. The brakes are all chattering and grabbing. Had to replace all 4 tires after 16,000 miles. General tires are the worst. Put new Goodyear Assurance tires on and it made all the difference in the world! Buick is no help at all regarding repairs. I do however love the comfortable ride and great gas mileage. Its a great looking car.
Pretty satisfied
I've owned my LeSabre since it was brand new. I purchased one due to the fact that my mom also owned one and has been very satisified. I've also been very happy with mine. The only complaint I have is that the ABS light comes on, and I was told the whole component in the wheel hub needs to be replaced at my Buick dealership. It cost about $517.00. I don't feel that this should have gone so soon, since that light went on a week after I got the car. I think that they need to improve their ABS system since my mom's car has had the same problem from the time it was new and hers is a earlier model. They're great, roomy, comfortable, and for the most part very reliable, but pricey to repair.

Surprised Return Buyer
In the market for a car to replace a '93 Buick Skylark, with which we weren't very happy (small size, poor comfort, and a glove compartment door constantly rattled), we were surprised at how comfortable and roomy the LeSabre proved, and after over one year of ownership we've had no problems. We're relatively happy with the gas mileage--over 27 mpg (city)

Buick SeSabre saved me from at least four accidents. One of them would have been extremely serious. There was a "pile-up" on a major highway (Rt 24 West in NJ and I was able to "stop on a dime" and avoided hitting the car in front of me. The braks on this vehicle are better than any other vehicle I have ever driven. That's eight different cars in my lifetime - and I'm OLD! (66) I feel perfectly safe in this car and it looks SOOoo Beautiful!
