We own a 2000 Buick Lesabre. It was given to us by my father in-law who purchased it brand new in 2000. Both of us have always had the car serviced at Buick dealerships for all maintenance including oil changes. We have had several electrical failures, fuel injector problems and now the transmission went out with only 45,000 miles. My husband was driving to the office and the car all of a sudden slowed down and then came to a stop. He described it as someone shifting the car to first gear from fourth. However, the car is an automatic. Luckily, there was no one immediately behind him so he didn't get hit.

Fuel tank and sending lines need to be replaced due to O-rings improperly fitted on fuel pump. In July 2000, vehicle was making a knocking noise when turning or going over a bump. Front/rear transmission mounts were defective components. Dealership put a sealer on this, but it failed to correct defect.
