problem #2

Jul 282001

LeSabre

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
I had taken this vehicle back to the Buick dealership where I purchased it at 34K miles and told them it had a "miss" and that it "hesitated" driving down the road. They said it was a spark plug and replaced one. The last time I took it to another Buick dealer it needed $4,200 to make it road worthy including a new water pump, new transmission, new brakes and rotors. The service code on the car should have indicated failure of these parts when I took it to the first dealer.
