BUICK Complaints

I WAS BACKING MY CAR INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND THEN I SHUT OFF ENGINE, RADIO STILL PLAYING, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN LIGHTS STARTED DIMMING AND THE ANTI THEFT WENT INTO ACTION. WHOLE CAR SHUT DOWN, NOT EVEN REMOTES WOULD WORK. GOT THE HOOD OPENED AND DISCOVERED A MELTING WIRE CONNECTED TO THE NEGATIVE SIDE. THANK GOD I WAS HOME WHEN IT HAPPENED. COULD THIS HAVE CAUGHT FIRE INSIDE MY GARAGE? MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT TURNER TOYOTA IN MONTROSE COLORADO. WAS INQUIRING IF THIS IS A MALFUNCTION WITH WIRING HARNESS. SO FAR ITS COSTING US 800.00 DOLLARS IN REPAIR, WHICH I DONT HAVE MY CAR BACK AS OF TODAY. I WOULD LIKE THIS MATTER CLOSELY LOOKED AT FOR A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO THE MATTER THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN ALOT WORSE.

THE CAR WOULD NOT START WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START IT TO GO TO WORK AND HAD TO BE TOWED IN FOR REPAIRS. THE FUEL PUMP WAS FOUND TO NEED TO BE REPLACED. ONE WEEK LATER THE CAR AGAIN WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED FOR REPAIRS. THE PROBLEM THIS TIME WAS THE REAR FUSE BOX THAT WAS SHORTED OUT DUE TO THE BRACKET RUBBING AGAINST IT, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL. A RECALL SEEMS TO BE INDICATED BECAUSE OF THIS.

2008 INTERMITTENTLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO MATTER THE SPEED. SOMETIMES 30MPH ON THE STREET, SOMETIMES 70MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY. SOMETIMES IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP, SOMETIMES IT DOESNT. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHY. CARS COST TOO MUCH TO BE PLAYING GUESS THE PROBLEM!! TAKE TO DEALER AT $100. A VISIT FOR THEM TO GUESS AND ULTIMATELY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE A WEEK LATER THE VEHICLE IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING YOU TOOK IT IN FOR. I JUST WISH SOMEONE NEW WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM WAS. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS, BUT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE LOW END LUXURY. IT'S DANGEROUS AND I GUESS PEOPLE HAVE TO START DYING AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST GM WILL HAPPEN BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 BUICK ENCORE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 44 MPH AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE COASTED UNTIL IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT HESITATED TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB RUTH FORD (700 N U.S. 15, DILLSBURG, PA 17019, (877) 818-1593) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,251.

I'VE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE A YEAR SOME CHANGE. PARKING BREAK LIGHT COMES WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND GOES AWAY ONCE I PUT IT DRIVE OR REVERSE. POWER STEERING LOCKS ON ME WHEN TURNING ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS SO DANGEROUS. ALSO SO MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPUTER IN THE VEHICLE THAT CAUSE THE DOOR TO LOCK AND UNLOCK ON ITS OWN WHEN I TRY TO PUT ON MY FOG LIGHTS THE ENGINE MAY REV UP

POWER STEERING HAS STARTED FAILING WHEN TURNING, MAKING IT EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. SEEMS WORSE AT SLOW SPEED. HAPPENS WHENEVER AND WHEREVER I TRY TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. WILL DRIVE OKAY WHEN GOING STRAIGHT. MADE APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE. I SUSPECT POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDS REPLACED, BUT JUST GUESSING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 BUICK LESABRE. WHILE REVERSING THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL CRACKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STOPPED AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. HE NOTICED THAT THE A-FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS HANGING DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND THE FRONT SUBFRAME BUSHING WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000. *BF *JS

THERE WAS A RECALL WITH SPECIAL POLICY ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I WANT TO KNOW WHY I DIDN'T RECEIVE A RECALL FORM IN THE MAIL. GM TOLD ME THAT IT EXPIRED SEPTEMBER 2019. I AM NOW HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A MESSAGE ON MY CAR STATING SERVICE AIR BAG. I TAKE TO GET DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW MODULE AND SENSOR LIGHT WHICH WILL COST ME $1600 THAT IS NOT A FAULT OF MINE, BUT IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND I HAVE A CHILD THAT RIDE'S IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME DAILY.

FIRST ISSUE CAR WILL SHUT OFF DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY DOING 60 70 MILES AN HOUR IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF AND I HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE AND WAIT AND WAIT TILL IT STARTS AGAIN VERY DANGEROUS. NEXT ISSUE IS THE AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF I'M ASSUMING DO I DO TO A PRESSURE SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHICH I HAVE A DAUGHTER THAT SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAG IS WORKING OR NOT. NEXT PROBLEM ARE THE DOOR LOCKS THEY LOCK THEY DON'T LOCK THE LEFT REAR DOES NOT WORK I HAVE TO MANUALLY PULL IT UP AND PUSH IT DOWN IF I WANT IT LOCKED THE KEY FOB WARNING IS ALWAYS ON MY DASH SAYING KEY FOB BATTERY IS LOW I REPLACED IT I REPLACE THE KEY FOB ITSELF IT JUST WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. NEXT PROBLEM THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON GOES OFF COMES ON GOES OFF AND THEREFORE I CANNOT USE MY REMOTE START IF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON IT HAS BEEN CHECKED THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR NOTHING SHOWS UP IF YOU CHECK THE GAUGES I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR MY REMOTE START CANNOT USE IT AND I'M IN MINNESOTA. I NEED MY CAR FIXED IT'S RELIABLE IT'S A GOOD CAR IT'S WHAT I DRIVE IT'S MY CAR I HAVE A DAUGHTER'S LIFE AT STAKE IN MY CAR I EXPECT IT TO BE TRUSTED IN THE CAR THAT I BOUGHT AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE SITE REGARDING THE SAME ISSUES THAT MY CAR IS HAVING I AM HOPING LITERALLY HOPING THAT YOUR COMPANY IS WILLING TO FIX THESE ISSUES IN MY CAR AND ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE WAITING IN LINE CUZ THIS IS RIDICULOUS

LIGHT SENSOR FOR ALL AIR BAGS STAY ON. THE LIGHT DON'T GO OFF AFTER DRIVING IT. AFRAID THAT AIR BAG WOULD GO OFF OR BLOW UP IN FRONT OF FACE, CAUSING FOR AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING. AIR BAG NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND IT CAN CAUSE AN UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT. I LIVE IN FEAR WHILE DRIVING MY CAR.
