PARKED STATIONARY BUT ENGINE RUNNING: 250 POUND MALE HAD LEFT HAND OVER THE TOP OF THE DOOR WITH THE WINDOW DOWN IN 11 DEGREE WEATHER. HE WAS BACKING HIMSELF INTO THE CAR BECAUSE HE WAS ON CRUTCHES SO HIS LEFT HAND WAS USING THE OPEN FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FOR SUPPORT AT THE TOP BY THE WINDOW. THE WINDOW STARTED GOING UP AND HIS PINKY CAUGHT BETWEEN THE OUTSIDE WINDOW SEAL AND THE WINDOW. IT CHOPPED OFF THE TIP OF HIS PINKY ALONG WITH THE TIP OF FINGER BONE. FEEL THE OUTSIDE BLACK WINDOW SEAL ABOVE THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW. IT IS VERY PAPER THIN AND VERY SHARP LIKE A RAZOR IF YOU WERE TO LIGHTLY RUB YOUR FINGER ALONG IT. NOW, IMAGINE THE BLACK SEAL IN 11 DEGREE WEATHER. IT HARDENS. MAYBE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE IN WE BELIEVE THE WINDOW CAUGHT AND FORCED THE FINGER UP AND THE SEAL SHAVED IT OFF LIKE A RAZOR SLICE. A SKIN GRAPH DID NOT TAKE AND HIS PINKY IS NOW A DEFORMED TIP ON THE FINGER. KEEP KIDS (AND ADULTS) HANDS AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS--ESPECIALLY IN FREEZING COLD WEATHER.

MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASE IN AUGUST OF 2014 AND I RECEIVED A LETTER A MONTH AGO SAYING TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE OF THE POWER LIFT GATE BECAUSE OF A RECALL. WELL ABOUT TWO TO THREE DAYS LATER I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE SUCH AS A POPPING SOUND WHEN YOU UNLOCK THE DOORS, OPEN THE DOORS, TURN ON SIGNAL LIGHT OR RADIO...I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE BUT GM WANTS TO CHARGE ME $125 DOLLARS JUST TO LOOK AT IT WHEN I BELIEVE THEY MESSED IT UP BECAUSE MY LIFT GATE IS MAKING NOISES AS WELL AND DID I MENTION MY RADIO DOES NOT WORK NOR DOES THE SIGNAL WHEN I BACK UP WORK...

THERE IS A BIG LEAK COMING FROM THE ROOF OR SIDE OF DOOR WAY..EVERYTIME I WASH CAR OR ITS RAINING I NOTICED LEAKING FROM SIDE FROM FRONT DRIVER SEAT ALL THE WAY BACK TO PASSENGER SIDE.

ALL MY TIRES KEEP GETTING LOW AND CHECK LIGHT ENGINE KEEPS SHOWING LOW TIRE PRESSURE. I TOOK IT IN TO THREE DIFFERENT TIRE PLACES THEY DONT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IM CONSTANTLY AIRING MY TIRES EVERYDAY FROM SUMMER THROUGHOUT WINTER AND ITS EXHAUSTING.

I KEEP PUTTING NEW LIGHT BULB ON DRIVER SIDE BREAK LIGHTS NOT WORKING BLINKERS NOT WORKING. I PUT NEW FUSE IN NOT WORKING. THEN SOME DAYS IT WORKS BUT MOST DAYS DONT WORK.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT DETECT A PERSON SITTING DOWN. MOST OF THE TIME IT DOES NOT TURN ON EVEN WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING ON THE SEAT.

WHILE TRAVELING ON A FLORIDA INTERSTATE AT EXPRESS WAY SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION JUST QUIT FUNCTIONING. I HAD JUST GONE OVER THE TOP OF A BRIDGE, LET UP ON THE THROTTLE, THAN PRESSED DOWN AGAIN TO MAINTAIN SPEED. THE ENGINE INCREASED RPM'S BUT I CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN. THIS WAS WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC ON MY SIDE AND BEHIND ME. WHEN I FOUND ROOM ENOUGH TO PULL OVER, I HAD SLOWED CONSIDERABLY CAUSING TRAFFIC TO SWERVE AROUND ME AND CAUSED PANIC BRAKING ON THEIR PART. BUICK MOTOR HAS A NOTICE OUT SAYING THEY WILL REPAIR AT NO CHARGE FOR 10 YEARS, OR 120,000 MILES. I HAD 124,276 MILES AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME. I CONSIDER THIS FEATURE TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, AS THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE I NO LONGER HAD ANY CONTROL IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN ON A MULTILANE EXPRESS WAY, AND YOU WERE IN ONE OF THE CENTER LANES WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE RESULT COULD VERY EASILY BE ACCIDENT/DEATH. I BELIEVE BUICK SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL BEFORE SERIOUS THINGS HAPPEN. THEY SHOULD ALSO BE FORCED TO PAY FOR THOSE THAT HAVE ALREADY HAD THE WORK DONE.
