PURCHASED A 2007 BUICK TERRAZA IN 2008 WITH 10000 MILES ON IT. ONE OWNER. NOW I KNOW WHY. I AM ON A FIRST NAME BASIS WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT TRIES TO FIX MY PROBLEMS. THE POWER SLIDING DOORS ARE UNSAFE AND A NIGHTMARE. HAVE STOOD IN POORING RAIN,FREEZING TEMPS,AND SNOW TRYING TO GET A DOOR TO CLOSE. HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES WHICH ISN'T MUCH FUN WITH 4 KIDS AND 4 CARSEATS.HAVE BEEN STUCK ALONG HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES WITH A DOOR THAT WONT CLOSE.NOT SAFE!!!!!! I AM ALSO ON MY 3RD OR 4TH RADIO IN THIS VAN. EVERYTIME IT GOES OUT THE DVD PLAYER WONT WORK SO I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK AGAIN TO HAVE THIS FIXED.TIME IS WAY PAST DUE FOR A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYONE LOOKING FOR A SLIGHTLY USED VEHICLE I HAVE A 2007 TERRAZA FOR SALE...LOL. *KB

REAR SLIDING DOORS WILL NOT REMAIN CLOSED, THEN OPEN WHILE DRIVING AND CONTINUE TO ALARM WHEN CLOSED. I'VE TAKEN IT IN FOR REPAIRS THREE TIMES ON BOTH DOORS, YET, NOW THAT MY WARRANTY IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT, I MUST PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE GM IS IGNORING. MY GRANDSON'S CAR SEAT SITS BY THOSE DOORS, THANK GOD HE HASN'T FALLEN OUT!!! I'VE GOOGLED AND HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS IGNORED. WHY IS IT SOMEBODY HAS TO DIE BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED?! THERE ARE SEVERAL INCIDENT DATES!!! *KB

I HAVE HAD ON GOING PROBLEMS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. IT DISCONNECT WITHOUT WARNING. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT DIVERTS MY ATTENTION FROM THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIM THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SAID I HAD 1/8 TANK OF GAS WHEN VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND DIED. VEHICLE WAS BLOCKING A LANE OF TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STREET. VEHICLE HAD TO BE PUSHED OFF THE ROAD WITH HELP OF GOOD SAMARITAN. DEALER VERIFIED VEHICLE WAS OUT OF GAS AND SENDING UNIT WAS AT FAULT.

PURCHASED 2007 BUICK TERRAZA, BOTH SLIDING DOORS HAVE HAD ONGOING ISSUES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR MULTIPLE TIMES PER DOOR, AT ONE POINT I WAS TOLD BY THE REPAIR TECHNICIAN, AS I HANDED HIM PIECES OF THE DOOR MOUNTING, THAT IT IS A GOOD THING I DIDN'T OPEN IT ONE MORE TIME AS THE DOOR LIKELY WOULD HAVE FALLEN OFF! I HAVE RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES TO FIND ONE OF THE SLIDING DOOR MYSTERIOUSLY OPEN. DUE TO ONGOING NIGHTMARE OF THE DOORS OPENING I AM CAREFUL TO CONFIRM THE DOORS ARE CLOSED AND LOCKED PRIOR TO LEAVING MY VEHICLE, HOWEVER THEY SLIDE OPEN ON THERE OWN FOR NO REASON. THE DOORS OPEN MYSTERIOUSLY WHEN THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN, ALARMS RING SIGNALLY DOORS ARE AJAR WHEN THEY ARE NOT, AND/OR FAIL TO CLOSE WITH NO CONFIRMED OBSTRUCTION. ONCE I AM ABLE TO "CLOSE THE DOOR" AND DRIVE AWAY THE ODDS ARE 50/50 THAT THE NEXT BUMP I HIT IN THE ROAD THAT DOOR WILL OPEN. LEAVING THE CHOICE TO PULL OVER IN AN UNSAFE LOCATION TO CORRECT OR CONTINUE TO A SAFE LOCATION AND PRAY MY CHILD IN THE MIDDLE SEAT IS SAFE. *TR

2007 BUICK TERRAZA. STABILITY SYSTEM/TRACTION CONTROL/ABS CAUSES FRONT BRAKES TO ENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS OCCURRED NO LESS THAT 25 TIMES. SPEED AT TIME OF INCIDENT HAS BEEN FROM 10 TO 55 MPH. RATCHETING SOUND OCCURS (SAME AS WHEN TRACTION CONTROL APPLIES IN SLIPPERY CONDITIONS); FRONT TIPS DOWN AS LEFT BRAKE APPLIES; VEHICLE PULLS HARD TO THE LEFT. THE ONLY WAY I CAN DRIVE IS TO PULL THE FUSE, LEAVING ABS, TC, AND SS OFF. DEALER HAS TRIED TO FIX, GM CUSTOMER SERVICE BECAME INVOLVED BRIEFLY, BUT I STILL DRIVE WITHOUT MAJOR SAFETY FEATURES, OR TAKE MY CHANCES ON ABRUPT SPEED CHANGES, AND LANE CHANGES. NOT SOMETHING I ENJOY ON THE DAN RYAN IN CHICAGO, WHEN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC IS ABOVE SPEED LIMIT AND CHICAGO DRIVERS USE 5 FEET AS A FOLLOWING DISTANCE. I HAVE FOUND FROM THE INTERNET THAT OTHER GM CARS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT GM HAS NEVER INVESTIGATED THIS. I REALLY LIKE THE CAR, BUT RANDOM BRAKING SURPRISES ARE DISTURBING. *TR
