Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1976 LeSabre.
The 1976 Buick LeSabre is supported by a model complaint history covering 1990 to 2006, during which complaints peaked at 698 in 2000 and reached a low of 3 in 2006. Because the recorded data begins in 1990, the 1976 model year falls outside the documented reliability timeline, so its position in the model's complaint history cannot be determined from this source. Researchers consulting this overview should recognize that the available complaint metrics pertain to later production years.
