BUICK Complaints

MY VEHICLE'S WINDOW CONTROLS AND LOCK CONTROLS ARE NO LONGER WORKING, WHEN LOCKING THE DOOR OR THE WINDOW WILL GO DOWN BUT WILL NOT COME UP. THE REST OF THE WINDOWS CONTROL THROUGHOUT THE CAR WILL NOT WORK AS WELL. THE LIGHTING IN THE CAR FLICKERS IF YOU WOULD PUSH THE LOT OR THE WINDOW CONTROL. ANTERIOR LIGHT IS NO LONGER WORKING. NONE OF THIS WORKS EVEN WHEN PARKED OR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

HEADLIGHT KEEPS BURNING OUT. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES ALSO DRIVER SEAT HEATING WORKS FOR 1 MIN AND TURNS OFF

THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING NOISES AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SCREEN WENT OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE, BUT THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS OUT. RADIO STOPPED WORKING, MY SCREEN WENT DARK AND THE BACKUP CAMERA DIDN'T WORK. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND THE SECOND IT OCCURRED WHILE BACKING OUT A PARKING SPOT.

WHILE DRIVING UP TO AN INTERSECTION I APPLIED MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. UPON DOING SO THE PEDAL DID NOT MOVE AS IF IT WAS LOCKED IN PLACE. I APPLIED MORE PRESSURE AS I WAS COMING UP TO THE INTERSECTION AND THEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED IN PLACE AS IF THE CAR WAS OFF. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKES BEING APPLIED. I QUICKLY BEGAN PUMPING THE BRAKES WHICH STARTED TO SLOW ME DOWN BUT NOT BEFORE DRIVING RIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I PULLED OVER AFTER I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN TO A STOP, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND TURNED IT BACK ON. I WAS ABLE TO RETURN HOME BUT IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP.

THE STABLITRAK LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE HAS A THROBBING COMING FROM REAR OF VEHICLE, TAKING VEHICLE INTO HAVE CHECKED AS WHEN YOU APPLY BRAKES IT IS FELT. THE THROBBING ALSO HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND DEALER ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE

HAD ACCIDENT, WHERE I WAS HIT FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE, AFTER THAT IMPACT I WAS STRUCK IN THE REAR, WHICH TOTALED THE CAR. ME AND A PASSAGE WAS TOSSED AROUND LIKE RAG DOLLS. THE SEAT BELT ON THE PASSAGE SIDE DID NOT HOLD IN PLACE CAUSING HER HEAD TO STRIKE THE WINDSHIELD TWICE, NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FROM SIDE FRONT BACK NONE WHICH WOULD OF KEPT HER AND I FROM BEING TOSSED AROUND, THIS NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO SOMEONES ATTENTION, AND A RECALL WE WAS LOOKING WE BOTH HAVE INJURIES, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ADVISE TO WHY THIS VEHICLE WAS NEVER RECALLED AND CHECKED???? NOW ME AND MY PASSAGE HAS A ROAD OF RECOVERY DUE TO THE AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELTS

BOTH TRAILING ARMS IN THE REAR SUSPENSION HAVE FAILED TO DUE TO RUST. THE FAILURE OF AT LEAST ONE OF THE TWO TRAILING ARMS OCCURRED WHEN TRAVELING ACROSS A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT LOW SPEED WHILE ON A LONG DISTANCE TRIP. THE 2007 BUICK RAINIER HAD A HISTORY OF BEING IN PENNSYLVANIA. THE USE OF SALT DURING THE WINTER MONTHS WAS THE LIKELY CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILING OF THE TRAILING ARMS RESULTED IN CONSIDERABLE VIBRATIONS AT LOW SPEEDS UP TO ~40 MPH. THE FAILING OF THE TRAILING ARMS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE LOST OF REPLACEMENT SPRINGS IF A SIGNIFICANT BUMP HAD BEEN HIT WHILE DRIVING. NOTE: REPLACEMENT SPRINGS ARE OFTEN NECESSARY AFTER THE FAILURE OF THE AIR BAG SPRINGS, AS WAS THE CASE FOR THIS VEHICLE. FORTUNITLY, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BEFORE ANY ACCIDENT OCCURRED.

SOMETIMES WHILE CORNERING, ALMOST ALWAYS A RIGHT CORNER, MY CAR WILL ACT LIKE ANTI SKID IS ENABLED...I LOSE POWER AND SLOW WAY DOWN,, THEN MY CAR SPEEDS BACK UP ON ITS OWN, IT DOES IT WHILE ENGAGED TO ANTI SKID OR NOT. WHEN I PUT BRAND NEW TIRES ON, IT QUIT DOING IT, BUT IT'S DOING IT AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR INTO THE DEALER WITH THIS COMPLAINT ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO...NO ISSUES OR RECALLS WERE ON FILE AT THAT TIME. THIS REAR TOE LINK RECALL IS WHAT MY CAR IS MIMICKING, BUT MY VIN # IS NOT LISTED.

BRAKES ARE NOISY MORE GOING IN REVERSE. DEALER ORDERED UPDATED FRONT BRAKES ON 12/8/2020 AND AS OF 12/23/2020 THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RECEIVED AND DO NOT HAVE A DATE WHEN THEY WILL BE IN. TRIED TO CALL GM CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT THEY DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE. ALSO WHEN THE CAR WAS IN THE REPAIR SHOP THEY COMPLETED RECALLS #'S A202310450, A202295530 & A202301230. ALSO I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICES ON ANY RECALLS FROM BUICK.

EVERY TIME I TURN ON MY LEFT OR RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IT SHORTS OUT.... TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND HE DID SOME RE WIRING AND IT WORKED FOR A LITTLE BIT THEN STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN.... I DON'T WANT TO SPEND A BUNCH OF MONEY ON IT ANYMORE. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
