Overview & Reviews

The LeSabre remains largely unchanged, with new colors and a few new options like rain-sensing wipers the only notable differences.

• Room for six, excellent mileage from V6, smooth ride, huge trunk, solid crash test scores.

• Dated interior styling, can be slow when fully loaded, no split-folding rear seat.

  Buick LaSabre LTD - 2004 Buick LeSabre
  By Chuck - September 25 - 2:00 am

  My 2004 Buick LaSabre LTD is a nice car overall. It has a very nice ride and very good gas mileage (29-31 MPG Highway). My biggest complaint are the split-bench leather seats. After 2 to 2.5 hours in the seat your rear end gets mighty sore. You wouldnt think so when you first sit down on the seat as it is well padded. I had trouble with the dual climate control system. The drivers side quit working and was cycling hot air-cold air-hot air, etc. The car drives nice going straight but very poor at any kind of spirited handling. I find the car rather boring to drive but my wife likes it as it is really her car to drive. The LaSabre is a well equipped car with power everything.

  Not bad for THIRD hand car - 2004 Buick LeSabre
  By ty - February 27 - 3:04 pm

  Not the prettiest design, but not completely horrible. Just a simple blue collar (as my boss likes to say) car. Because its an American car, the used car price was better than buying a comparable but smaller Japanese family sedan. Only some minor problems, which I expect from American cars. The dash and radio console looked like it hasnt been updated since 1985. I saw a 2004 Honda Accord with more modern design. The driver side speaker blew out after a month I owned it. And a month later the gas gauge stopped working so I have to estimate when to fill up gas. No big deal. I will drive this car into the ground. As long as it keeps running Im happy.

  An ok car - 2004 Buick LeSabre
  By DMCnTN - January 27 - 11:30 am

  Bought in fall of 2008 at car lot that deals in high mileage vehicles that look ok. Had 106000 intially. Ive added about 15000. Gas mileage on interstate = 31 mpg. good power. comfortable for trip. Negatives are AC sometimes blow hot air on driver side and cold air on passenger. Also, hard shift every few days (1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd). Guesstimate from dealer on repairing both problems = 900 bucks. Two front chrome mag wheels leak air around the rim unless you get tire store to sand and goop up the rim. Overall car is good transportation given that I gave $5100 for a 4 year old car. Our 2 Hondas have been much more trouble free (everything works right)over 300k miles on those 2 together.

  Keeps on keeping on - 2004 Buick LeSabre
  By Elliott - May 7 - 12:14 pm

  When I bought this car the main internet complaints were loud turn signals and loud fan noise on high blower. Four years of non-stop daily driving in city and cross country, that is still the only complaint about the car. It has every electronic gadget available and all still work the same as new no repairs, no breakdowns! I have had no other car that has been this reliable for this long with nothing going wrong.

  Good car. However, turning raidus is horrible. Difficult turning in parking lots. Much needed improvement is required.

  Major engine problems - 2004 Buick LeSabre
  By rahni - June 12 - 2:00 am

  LeSabres 2000-2004 are made with a phenolic resin intake maniford that warps and leaks antifreeze into the engines cylinders - basically blowing superheated steam into the combustion chambers. The factory-recall fix (put locktight on 3 bolts) doesnt work. According to a factory trained mechanic, many engines have had to be replaced because of this cheap construction. Also, "permanently lubricated" tie-rods wear prematurely and have to be replaced at low milage. Plastic window grips on electric windows break easily.

  2004 Celebration - 2004 Buick LeSabre
  By linebender - May 14 - 2:00 am

  We love our Lesabre. but early on we have had the transmission repaired to correct failed parts in the drive hub as well as a complete replacement of the rack and pinion assembly because of internal leaks.(still having some minor problems on that) also have had extensive trouble with the controls for the hvac system. replaced 2 outside temp sensors and the main control unit. not too happy with the way the auto a/c control operates. the fan always seems to be in mid-speed mode. and never goes to slow speed. G.M. says its working as designed. I disagree, but cant get any co-operation from G.M. to discuss the problem.

  my buick - 2004 Buick LeSabre
  By jnellbilliot - March 16 - 2:00 am

  i really like my car, for the most part. it is comfortable, dependable. the one thing that comes to mind that i dont like about the car is that i find it to have too much "wind" noise when i am driving. i just wish it was a little quieter.
