ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I HAD AT LEAST 6 DIFFERENT TIMES THAT I WOULD GO TO START THE ENGINE AND IT WOULD ONLY HUM, NOT START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I ASKED IF THEY CHECKED THE BATTERY CABLES AND THEY SAID YES. I ASKED THIS AS I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, A LOOSE BATTERY CONNECTION. I KNEW THEY DID NOT CHECK, AS THE BATTERY IS UNDER THE REAR SEAT AND I PLACED A KLEENEX BOX IN A MARKED POSITION AND IT WAS EXACTLY THE SAME WHEN THEY RETURNED THE CAR. IT FINALLY JUST WOULDN'T START AT ALL, SO I HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR STATION (NOT THE DEALER) TO BE FIXED. THEY SAID THE BATTERY CABLE WAS LOOSE AND ARKING AND THEY WERE SURPRISED THAT I DIDN'T HAVE A FIRE UNDER THE BACK SEAT. THE REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT, I DON'T WANT ANYONE INJURED OR KILLED FROM A FIRE UNDER THE REAR SEAT IN ANY 2000 BUICK LESABRE. HOPE YOU WILL MAKE GM CHECK ALL BATTERY CONNECTIONS ON ANY MODEL WITH THE BATTERY UNDER THE BACK SEAT. THANK YOU.*AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
I HAVE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH MY DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT. THE BELT KEEPS GETTING CAUGHT IN THE FLOOR RETRACTOR. WHEN I TRY TO PULL THE BELT UP TO USE, IT GETS STUCK AND HAS TO BE TUGGED ON 5-6 TIMES TO GET IT TO RELEASE. ORANGE BUICK FIRST LOOKED AT IT ON 4/25/02 AND CLAIMED, "BELT OUT OF PLACE CAUSING LOCK TO ENGAGE R&R AND REPOSITION LEFT FRONT SEAT BELT RETRACTOR." THAT DID NOT FIX IT AND I BROUGHT IT BACK AGAIN ON 7/1/02. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER A NEW BELT AND REPLACE IT. SUPPOSEDLY, BUICK REALIZED THAT THEY HAD A PROBLEM AND HAD REDESIGNED THEIR BELTS. THE REPLACEMENT BELT WAS INSTALLED ON 7/16/02, AND WORKED OKAY FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS, AND HAS STARTED THE SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER AGAIN. BECAUSE IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, THEY CAN'T SEEM TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, BUT I KEEP GETTING CAUGHT WITH IT. I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT ONE OF THESE TIMES, THE BELT WILL NOT RELEASE AFTER 5 OR 6 TUGS AND THEN I WILL BE FORCED TO DRIVE MY CAR WITHOUT THE SEATBELT ENGAGED, WHICH IS BOTH ILLEGAL AND VERY DANGEROUS.*AK
