At 85,000mi my transmission failed while driving on the highway. The dealership kept the transmission so it can not be inspected. This was extremely dangerous with my whole family in the car too. No lights illuminated on the dash board just rpm flew up with the vehicle not moving. There were no indications that anything was going to fail. No stored or active codes were detected in the vehicle. The issue I was told was the problem was #16-NA-013 No Reverse, No Third. This issue is supposed to only be on 2016 vehicles and mine was the first. The dealership stapled this #16-NA-013 document to my invoice. The only fix was an entirely new transmission for $7500.

The Service Air Bags indicator has been on for 3 years and I have tried to get this taken care of with Buick, East Side Madison as I have indicated on another complaint form December 06 2024 NHTSA ID Number: 11629225. Now, today my daughter tried to open the door and the car's electrical system went haywire and would not let her out. I had to manually get a key to unlock the door. The electrical system is now not functioning correctly. A relative just had the same thing happen, couldn't get out of her car, the car started on fire and she couldn't get out and was burned alive. I would like the manufacture to repurchase this car as soon as possible. It is not safe and I am afraid someone is going to get killed in this car if it is not taken off the road. Please let me know if we can get this done without lawyers involved. Thank you. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I have been trying for 3 years to get the airbags replaced that have been recalled due to safety concerns with Buick Service East Side Madison WI at 5402 High Crossing Blvd for the last 3 years. They said I have to wait for a letter to come from the Manufacture, which has never come. I printed out a recall letter that said my exact vehicle has a safety issue with the airbags and are recalled. Buick Service said they have tried to order them and cannot get them in due to no ETA. This is not acceptable. I have been driving around for years with faulty airbags that I cannot find anyone to help me get them replaced. I am scared every day when I drive this car due to the safety issues with the airbags that no one has helped me with for 3 years. I continue to get the runaround. This is why I am calling and filing this today. My son gave me this car about 4 years ago.
