Technician indicated the original antifreeze which GM used in the Buick Lesabre damaged the intake manifold and the head gasket. Both needed to be replaced. Fumes from the toxic antifreeze caused the consumer to experience nauseousness and dizziness. Dealer notified.

problem #1

May 282003

LeSabre 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
The vehicle was using more oil than usual. The change engine oil light had come on 300 miles short of the 3K miles to travel, when the consumer tested the oil, it was 1qt low. At the end of the computer test, the mileage was 14650K miles. When the oil was checked at 829 additional miles from the last visit, it was 1/4qt low. The consumer talked to many other Buick owners and did not found another (same make/model) with the same problem.
