BUICK Complaints

WHEN FIRST STARTING UP CAR AND THEN PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, EITHER IN REVERSE OR FORWARD, THERE IS A SURGE, LIKE THE CABLE IS STICKING. NOT SURE WHY, MAYBE DUE FROM AGE OF CAR OR AN ELECTRONIC CONTROL ISSUE. THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED ABOUT 85% OF ITS LIFE.

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND FAILING TO SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR ON ACCELERATION. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND HAS BEEN PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE OVER THE LAST 7 MONTHS. NOW IT IS AT THE DEALER AND THEY WON'T COVER THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED 2 MONTHS AGO. THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY PRIOR BUICK ENCLAVE WHICH I TRADED IN (BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM) WHEN I PURCHASED MY CURRENT VEHICLE.

FRONT AND REAR BRAKE LINES FAILED LEAVING ME WITH NO BRAKES. I WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEED. THE REAR BRAKE LINE WAS THE FIRST TO GO. THE FRONT BURST AND ABOUT 4 WEEKS LATER THE CAUSE WAS RUST AND CORROSION. BOTH TIMES THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR.

MY TAILGATE SUDDENLY CLOSES. THERE WAS A RECALL NHTSA # 15V415000 FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED. MY MAKE YEAR AND PROBLEM MATCHES THE RECALL

SOMETIMES WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE CAR DOES NOT COME TO A SMOOTH STOP, BUT RATHER JERKS AHEAD AND TAKES A VERY LONG DISTANCE TO STOP. THIS OCCURS OFTEN ON SNOW COVERED ROADS BUT ALSO OCCURS ON DRY ROADS. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN A SMALL ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR DID NOT STOP IN TIME. THE MESSAGE TO CHECK THE ABS OFTEN SHOWS. I HAVE JUST HAD A NEW BRAKE JOB WITH NEW ROUTERS BUT STILL GET THE MESSAGE TO CHECK AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND IT SEEMS THAT NOTHING WILL FIX IT. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS A 2008, IT ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 80,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. (SINCE THE PROBLEM IS ON-GOING, SOME OF THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS DO NOT APPLY. HOWEVER SINCE THE FIELDS ARE REQUIRED, I WILL HAVE TO PUT SOMETHING DOWN.)

MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT WHILE I WAS ON THE EXPRESS WAY. THEN IT WOULD NOT START WITHOUT A JUMP. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. COMPUTER PUT OUT A CODE P062F. NOW I HAVE TO GET A JUMP ALMOST EVERY OTHER DAY.

MY SERVICE AIR KEEPS COMING UP ON MY DASH BOARD GOES ON AND OFF - BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND SAID IT NEEDS TO BE ON TO FIX IT - SO NOTHING WAS DONE- NOW MY RADIO/ BACKUP CAMERA DOESNT COME ON AND THE DEALER IS TELLING ME I HAVE A SHORT SOME WHERE AND THE COST CAN BE OVER 300.00 JUST TO LOOK AT IT - I HAVE 121.000 MILES NOW BUT IT STARTED FROM THE FIRST YEAR I OWN THE 2013

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK REGAL. WHILE DECELERATING FROM 60 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO ENGAGE PROPERLY. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH FORCE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO HAVE THE BRAKE PEDAL RELEASED FROM THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MOVE AND THE CONTACT HAD TO REACH DOWN AND RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BRAKE PADS WERE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000.

MOTOR HAS VERY HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. GOING THROUGH 5 QUARTS OR MORE BEFORE SYSTEM INDICATES THE VEHICLE NEEDS A OIL CHANGE. ENGINE HAS A LOUD RATTLING NOISE AT START UP.

IN THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF MY 2008 BUICK LUCERNE HAS BURNED UP SIX FUEL PUMP RELAYS IT KEEPS MELTING THE RELAYS AND THE FUSE BLOCK I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT COULD CATCH ON FIRE THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE RECALLED
