Can Buick service save me money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

What are signs my Buick drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Buick LeSabre, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Buick LeSabre differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a LeSabre?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your LeSabre’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the LeSabre malfunction warning light on my own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my LeSabre?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your LeSabre, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is my LeSabre’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your LeSabre’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your LeSabre forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

You can minimize repairs by following Buick's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
