BUICK Complaints

THE STABILIZER BAR BROKE AND THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL HAD 2 LUG BOLTS BREAK AND ALL THE LOTHERS LUG NUTS SPUN OFF. THANK THE LORD THAT THE WHEEL DID NOT COME OFF. I CALLED THE BUICK DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT $259.00 FOR THE STABILIZER BAR THAT'S IF I DIY THE STABILIZER BAR. WHY IF YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. HAVE YOU NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? THIS DIFFERENTLY A SAFETY ISSUE,

WHILE DRIVING HOME ON A CITY STREET WE NOTICED THAT BOTH LOW AND HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING SPEED, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT. THE RPM'S WILL LITERALLY REDLINE, IF I DO NOT LIFT MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS QUICKLY, AND REPLACE IT BACK ON THE GAS - THIS REMINDS ME OF A MANUAL SHIFT, BUT THIS IS NOT A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE HESITATION IN SHIFTING GEARS HAS GOTTEN SO EXTREME THAT I WILL START TO SMELL A BURNING SMELL IF I DO NOT MANUALLY SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION VIA THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES, SO I'M SURE THAT THIS IS NOT JUST THE RESULT OF AN OLDER TRANSMISSION. THIS HAPPENS NEARLY EVERYTIME I ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A DEER. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED WITH THE INTENSE EXCESSIVE EXPLOSION FROM THE AIR BAGS CAUSING THE PASSENGER OF THE VEHICLE TO GO DEAF IN WHICH MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP. THE CONTACT CONTACTED GROWNEY MOTORS, INC (1160 MAIN ST, RED BLUFF, CA 96080 (530) 527-1034) OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. *BF *AS

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN A INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STABILITY TRACK CAN ON MY DASH AND THE CAR FREAKED OUT AND BREAKED REALLY HARD ! I STATED TO SPIN OUT AND THEN A LOUD CRACK THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE ON THE REAR RIGHT SIDE . WE ALMOST REALLY LOST OUR LIVES! THIS IS THE 12 TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN AND THE MECHANICS TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG THEY CAN SEE!! I'M TAKING IT TO BUICK TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED ASAP! SOMEBODY WILL GET SEVERELY HURT SOON OMG

I STARTED EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE OIL BURN AT AROUND 85,000 MILES. SINCE THEN, I HAVE CHECKED MY OIL BIWEEKLY TO TOP OFF AND KEEP AT PROPER LEVELS ALONG WITH CONSISTENT OIL CHANGES AS THE OIL GETS DIRTY QUICKLY. DEALERSHIPS BEFORE HAVE TOLD ME THAT ITS "NORMAL" FOR THESE ENGINES. AT 109,610 MILES, I DISCOVERED A BAD OIL LEAK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. HE DETERMINED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP HAD BROKEN OFF INTO THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSED A SEAL PROBLEM FOR THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. AS HE OPENED UP THE TOP OF THE ENGINE TO REMOVE THE BROKEN PIECES, HE NOTICED MULTIPLE CAMSHAFT SEALS THAT HAD WORN AWAY, THAT WERE HARD AS ROCK FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT INCLUDING PISTON SEALS THAT HAD BEEN AFFECTED, HE REPAIRED THEM ALL AFTER ORDERING THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FROM BUICK. THINKING THIS POSSIBLY HAD FIXED THE EXCESSIVE OIL BURN, I STOPPED CHECKING THE OIL LEVELS. A MONTH AND 1,000 MILES LATER, I RECEIVED THE OIL LEVEL LOW NOTIFICATION ON THE CAR COMPUTER. I CHECK AND ITS VERY LOW. THE OIL BURN IS CONTINUING WITH NO CLEAR SIGNS OF AN OIL LEAK WITH DIRTY OIL. THERE IS POSSIBLY MORE PROBLEMS WITHIN THE ENGINE THAT AREN'T SEEN. CHECKING PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS. I NOTICE THAT THIS ENGINE HAS MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE TURBO PACKAGE ON GM VEHICLES.

BRAKE LINE EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE RESULTING IN A RAPID LOSS OF ALL BRAKE FLUID AND COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES WHILE ON A CITY STREET. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT ALL BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY RUSTED FROM THE OUTSIDE AND ONE HAD FAILED. THIS CAR WAS ALWAYS GARAGE KEPT AND VERY INFREQUENTLY DRIVEN ON SALTED STREETS. ALL BRAKE HAD TO BE REPLACED. I THINK IT IS UNREASONABLE THAT BRAKE LINES SHOULD RUST OUT AND CAUSE SUCH A FAILURE. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. A PERSON DOES NOT THINK OF THEIR BRAKE LINES AS REQUIRING CONSTANT INSPECTION, LIKE ONE MIGHT KEEP AN EYE ON THE TREAD ON THEIR TIRES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 BUICK ENCORE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST AND STALLED WITH THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S SISTER'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT CALLED CASEY CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 11700 JEFFERSON AVE, NEWPORT NEWS, VA 23606, AND WAS NOTIFIED OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V146000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WHERE MY CAR WON'T START AT TIME I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AND HAD THE ALTERNATOR CHECK ALL GOOD SOMETIMES I SMELL SOMETHING BURNING AND I NOTICE THERE'S A RECALL ON 2013 BUICK REGAL GS

I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS RESISTING ACCELERATION A LITTLE BIT, HAVE 48,545 MILES ON IT AND TOOK IT FOR OIL CHANGE WITH FUEL INJECTION CLEANER AND FULL TANK OF GOOD GAS. GOT ON HIGHWAY AND THE ACCELERATION DIED COMPLETELY AND NO GAS WAS GETTING THROUGH, LIKE FLOORING IT IN NEUTRAL. PULLED OFF THE SIDE AND IT RESTARTED BUT CONTINUED DYING ALONG THE WAY IF I TRY TO ACCELERATE.
