So just recently the key bobs would only work intermittently, now not much at all. Then the doors don't unlock when I stop. And now the other day when I took off, the speedometer didn't work or the RPMS!!!! I'm so upset with this car. We've had Buick LeSabres since 1993, & never had any of these problems with any of them. We haven't taken it in yet, but I'm afraid what its going to cost to fix it. With all the complaints I've seen online with the speedometer quitting at low mileage. GM should be fixing this. This car has only 58,000 actual miles!!!

Very bad electrical issues. Started out as a headlamp that we tried to fix but couldn't. Next the speedometer, temperature gauge, gas gauge and now both headlights will not work. This is a real safety issue and should be a recall. When the headlights have failed this is more serious than a electric window that goes bad. GM should be forced to fix this problem. I would like to see this remedied and GM should make it right.

The speedometer worked fine, wife took the car on a 700 mile trip, half-way, it quit working, arrived at destination and it worked for several days, stopped working half way home. Not fun to have a wife in desolate Wyoming not knowing how fast she's driving. Bought sensor and replaced it. Worked fine. Headed from Colorado to Indiana, hit Illinois with new sensor and speedometer quit working. Took it out, cleaned it off and has been working since..
