CAR SHUTS OFF LOSE POWER GOING 70 MILES A HOUR ON HIGHYAY WE FILED A COMPLAINT BACK JANUARY 2019 PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS JUST LAST WEEK IT HAPPENED AGAIN WERE GONNA GET HURT SOONER OR LATER IF NOT FIXED THANK YOU [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *CC

SERVICE AIR BAG NOTIFICATION AND WARNING LIGHT HAVE COME ON AT APPROXIMATELY 100,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET. NO ACCIDENTS NOTED AT TIME OF NOTIFICATIONS. AN AUTO REPAIR MECHANIC NOTED CODE B001E - DRIVER SIDE INBOARD SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT LOOP RESISTANCE ABOVE THRESHOLD. AIRBAG CODE HAS TSB TO SOLDER CONNECTION PINS AT CONNECTOR X333 AND X332 WHICH SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY. PINS WERE FOUND TO BE DAMAGED. *TR

TURBOCHARGER FAILURE AT 14300 MILES, CODE P0299. ENTERING INTERSTATE, ATTEMPTING TO REACH SPEEDS OF 60MPH, POWER WAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE POSTED INTERSTATE SPEED WHILE MERGING WITH FASTER TRAFFIC. *TR

IT KEEPS HAPPENING. THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE YEAR. NO SERVICE CODE TO REPAIR!!! TO FIX WE KEEP DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND RECONNECTING WHY IS THIS A RECALL ON SOME MODELS AND NOT ON OTHERS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK GOING APPROXIMATELY 55MPH IN MY 2014 BUICK LACROSSE I LOST ALL POWER STEERING. THE STABILATRAC INDICATOR CAME ALONG WITH A SERVICE ABS BRAKE LIGHT. I WAS NOT ABLE TO SET CRUISE CONTROL AS WELL. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK AND HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED FOR SAFETY REASONS. *TR

FAULTY BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. LEAKING OIL AND VEHICLES BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND LUCKILY DID NOT LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AS I HAD TO USE ALL MY WEIGHT TO PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN TO STOP THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO A BUICK DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE VACUUM PUMP DISINTEGRATED WHILE DISASSEMBLING TO PUT NEW VACUUM PUMP IN. THIS LEAD TO PARTS OF THE VACUUM PUMP ENTERING THE ENGINE. THERE IS NOW METAL IN THE OIL AND ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING RIGHT WITH REDUCED POWER. DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT THAT GM MADE A VACUUM PUMP THAT IS NOTORIOUS FOR FALLING APART INTO THE ENGINE. IF THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF A CHEAP PART THAT OFTEN DISINTEGRATES INTO THE ENGINE HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED? I SEE MANY CASES ONLINE WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED. DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO IS VANDEVERE BUICK IN AKRON OHIO. JERRY MESSENGER IS THE MANAGER THAT CAN VERIFY MY COMPLAINT. *TR

AS FAR AS I CAN DETERMINE THERE IS NO RECALL CONCERNING TIRES ON 2018 ENCORES. YET AT ONLY 19,334 MILES ON MY ENCORE I HAD TO REPLACE A TIRE BECAUSE THE TIRE STORE COULD NOT GET THE TIRE REPAIRED. THEIR COMMENT WAS THAT THE PUNCTURE ON THE TREAD AREA WAS TOO LARGE TO ACCEPT A PATCH. THUS I SPENT $172.25 FOR AN EQUIVALENT NEW TIRE. IF BUICK IS NOT CAPABLE OF PROVIDING TIRES THAT WILL LAST PAST 19,000 MILES THEN THEY NEED TO DO A QUALITY CHECK. THE "FACTORY" TIRE I HAD TO REPLACE WAS A CONTINENTAL TIRE (P215/ 55R/ 18 RATED AT 94H. *TR

WE BOUGHT A BUICK RAINIER 2006 AND IT HAS HAD NOTHING BUT ELECTRICAL, DOOR PROBLEMS AND DOOR HANDLE PROBLEMS. IT HAS A FAULTY BACK WINDOW WIPER. SUSPENSION ISSUES AND A VOTING UNDER BODY CARRIAGE. I BOUGHT IT FROM A DEALER AND NONE OF THESE RECALL ISSUES WHERE TAKEN CARE OF, AND THESE RECALLS DATE BACK TO 2015 I BOUGHT THE RAINER IN MARCH 2018. *TR

THE POWER STEERING FAILS ON TURNS WITH NO WARNING. FROM WHAT I READ THIS IS COMMON ON BUICK ENCLAVES. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT FROM THE POWER STEERING FAILURE. ONCE I WAS ON A 55 MPH HIGHWAY CHANGING LANES WHEN IT FAILED, THE REST ARE USUALLY WHEN TURNING. MY MECHANIC SAID THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDS REPLACEMENT. *TR

SIDE DETECTION MODULES KEEP BURNING OUT MAKING MY VEHICLE UNDRIVABLE. LOCATION OF MODULE IS UNDER REAR BUMPER AND IS NOT PROTECTED BY THE ELEMENTS. IN SNOWY WET WEATHER, CAUSES FAILURE. WHEN MODULE IS BURNED OUT, NOTHING WILL WORK ON VEHICLE. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN ONE YEAR. *TR
