BUICK Complaints

TIMING CHAIN LOOSENED DUE TO TENSIONER BREAKING DUE TO THE BOLT HOLDING IT IN PLACE WIDENING THE HOLE IT WAS IN OVER TIME CAUSING THE CAR TO JUMP TIME AND POSSIBLY BENDING ALL THE VALVES IN THE MOTOR. CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT STALLED AND SHUT OFF. WE HAD JUST MADE A TURN SO LUCKILY WE WERE NOT GOING FAST WHEN THIS HAPPENED. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. NO CODES CAME UP ON THE COMPUTER EITHER WHEN CHECKED.

WE HAVE HAD THE CAR OVER 10 YEARS AND IT HAD A HARD PEDAL WHEN YOU FIRST START IT UP THEN AS WE USE THE BRAKES THEY WORK BETTER

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON OCCASIONALLY WHEN PASSENGER GETS IN CAR. GOES OFF ONCE PASSENGER BUCKLES SEATBELT AND VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE, MOST OF THE TIME. A COUPLE TIMES IT HAS STAYED ON FOR PART OF A DAY EVEN WITHOUT A PASSENGER AND AFTER SEVERAL TIMES OF TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 BUICK ENCLAVE. THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 171,000.

STEERING MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN HITTING MINOR BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND INTERMITTENTLY THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE HAS A RATTLING NOISE WHEN FIRST STARTED AND RECENTLY THE ABS/TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN FIRST STARTED. ALSO THE VEHICLE HAS DECREASED HORSEPOWER AND THE MILEAGE LCD SCREEN HAS BEEN ACTING UP AND NOT ALWAYS SHOWING THE PRNDL AND ALSO THE TRANSMISSION ACTS UP WHEN SHIFTING INTO 3 AND 6 GEAR

THE A/C WAS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL IT DIDN'T AT ALL. I HAD RECHARGED IT, SIMPLE STUFF FIRST. AGAIN, WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. FINALLY, HAD IT LOOKED AT FOR LEAKS, COMPRESSOR, ETC. THE MECHANIC FOUND 2 ALUMINUM PIECES THAT CROSSED (ORIGINAL VEHICLE DESIGN) AND HAD WORN A GIANT WHOLE INTO EACH OTHER. HENCE, MY LEAK! I FEEL THIS IS AN BUICK ISSUES. AND WOULD LIKE A RESPONSE. THANK YOU

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL RANDOMLY FADE IN AND OUT AND SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS MOST EVIDENT IN THE POWER STEERING, RADIO CONTROLS AND AIR CONDITIONING. I HAVE TESTED AND REPLACED BOTH THE BATTERY IN THE ALTERNATOR. I HAVE ALSO BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP SO THEY COULD RUN A DIAGNOSTICS. NOTHING CAN BE IDENTIFIED AS A CENTRAL PROBLEM, BUT THE ISSUE STILL CONTINUES. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I LOOSE MY POWER STEERING WHILE TURNING. THIS HAPPENS ON SHORT TRIPS AND LONG TRIPS AND MANY TIMES WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS.

AIR CONDITIONER ON MUST OF THIS CAR FAIL IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH IT.

THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE HAS TURNED ON 5 TIMES NOW. 3 TIMES, THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TURNED ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THE BRAKE WAS NOT ACTIVATED BY ANYONE. THEN IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. THEY WORKED ON IT AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. THIS WEEK WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE THE BRAKE TURNED ON AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP.
