    - NIXA, MO

    I bought my car, new, on 10/1/ 2023. The middle of November i noticed the headlights randomly dimming. On 12/3/23 I to the dealership to have them looked at. I was told there was nothing wrong but make an appt. they had my car 3 times in less than 2 months. I repeatedly told them my headlights were dimming and or going off. On Jan 13 after taking my daughter to the airport my headlights went off as i was merging on to hiway at 6:30vam. at that point i filed a complaint with GM.. They won't do anything because the dealer said the lights function'. I have not driven my car after dark Jan 113. I am terrified that it will happen again.

  • 2017 BUICK ENCLAVE
    - Ravenel, SC

    There is a current recall on my 2017 Buick Enclave. The front-driver airbag inflator may contain a supplier manufacturing defect that may result in inflator rupture during deployment. An in?ator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants. I have tried to get this fixed but the dealer tells me they cannot get parts!

  • 2016 BUICK ENCLAVE
    - Wylie, TX

    GM still does not have a remedy for the open recall of my vehicle but has determined that it is unsafe. I called today to several GMC/Buick dealers as well as the manufacturer. They refuse to provide a timeline of when any remedy will be available. It has been more than 11 months and I am afraid that something bad will happen as my vehicle has been deemed unsafe. Is there a way to request payment for my vehicle or even an equivalent replacement as a repair is not available and has no timeline? I do not want to continue driving an unsafe vehicle. Thanks, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
