BUICK Complaints

JUST OVER 70,000 MILES ON THE CAR. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND STALLING AT IDLE. ENGINE LIGHT CODE INDICATED A CAM SHAFT MISALIGNMENT. DEALER TORE ENGINE APART TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND REPORTED THAT A FEW OF THE VALVES WERE EITHER BENT OR HAD BROKEN OFF. REPAIR WOULD BE A COMPLETE ENGINE REBUILD/REPLACEMENT.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHTS APPEARS FOR DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG EVEN THOUGH ALL MODULES ARE NEW, NOT DEFECTIVE NOR HAVE THEY BEEN TAMPERED WITH.

WAVE PLATE FAILURE AT 80 MPH (LEGAL SPEED IN SD). FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES - IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE! TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID THIS IS A COMMON GM TRANSMISSION ISSUE. APPARENTLY A KNOWN DEFECT AS GM ISSUED SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THE VEHICLE TO 120,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS. THIS VEHICLE IS AT 11 YEARS, 2 MONTHS, BUT ONLY 55,128 MILES. MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND WIDESPREAD ENOUGH THAT THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED.

THE REAR DOOR TO MY VEHICLE WILL NOT STAY CLOSED SO I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE AUTO DOOR OPENER. I HAVE TO OPEN IT BY HAND AND NOT BY THE ELECTRIC KEY OPENER. I WAS ON A TRIP TO FLORIDA AND GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR AND THE BACK CAME OPEN. I TOOK IT TO COLONIAL AUTO WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE BETWEEN 150.00 - 175.00 TO FIX IT BECAUSE HE SAID THAT HE THOUGHT THE LACK MAY BE OUT OF LINE THAT HE HAD SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IF THIS PROBLEM IS REPORTED TO BUICK THAN THEY NEED TO RECALL THEM TO BE CHECKED OR FIXED. I DON'T THINK I WILL EVER BUY ANOTHER BUICK AND WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER AUTO FROM THIS DEALER. I WENT OUT TO GET IN MY CAR FROM WORK AND THE BACK WAS OPENED. WHAT A JOKE THIS CAR HAS BECOME.
