SEAT BELT LIGHT INDICATOR LEAD TO DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSING A FAULTY SEAT BELT HOUSING AND TENSION. THE DASH INDICATOR FLASHES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING.

THE LOWER CONTROL ARM IS POORLY DESIGNED. WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS A POTHOLE IT WILL CAUSE THE LOWER CONTROL ARE TO BEND NEAR THE BALL JOINT. BASICALLY, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM METAL IS NOT REINFORCED IN THAT AREA. THE AREA BY THE BALL JOINT IS JUST A FLAT PIECE AND DOES NOT HAVE MUCH STRENGTH. WHEN IT FAILS IT WILL CAUSE THE CV JOINT TO COME OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION AND BREAK MANY PARTS.

2ND TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR THE STABILITY CONTROL SENSOR HAS FAILED. COST IS OVER 500.00 EACH REPAIR.

THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WORK, AND NEARLY EVERY SERVICE LIGHT AND MESSAGE POPS UP. NONE OF THE GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD WORK INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS METER. THE TURN SIGNAL WORKS BUT DOESN'T SHOW IT INSIDE THE CAR. THE RADIO HAS TO BE TURNED ON MANUALLY WHEN GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR. THE RADIO WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING. I'VE BEEN SENT AWAY FROM DEALERSHIPS BEFORE WITH NO ANSWER CLAIMING THAT ALL MODULES ARE GIVING A READING SO THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. MY CRUISE CONTROL HAS SHUT ITSELF OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAR IS A 2015 AND IS FAR TO NEW TO BE DEALING WITH A SAFETY HAZARD LIKE THIS.

TRANS IS SLIP WHEN WHEN GOING IN 3 GEAR.. HAD IT REPLACED NOW IT NOT GET A SIGNA WHY IT N MOTION..L

MAY 11, 2011 I WENT TO WORK AND TURNED MY CAR OFF ONLY THE CAR DID NOT STOP IT CONTINUED TO RUN WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE SWITCH. I WAITED ALMOST AN HOUR AND TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT TURNED OFF. WHEN I LEFT WORK IT CRANKED RIGHT UP BUT WHEN I GOT HOME, IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I CALLED ONSTAR AND THEY TOLD ME BEFORE I HAD IT TOWED, I NEEDED TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. I CALLED A MECHANIC TO COME TO MY HOUSE AND HE DISCONNECTED ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY AND IT CONTINUED TO RUN. HE THEN HAD TO DISCONNECT THE CABLE ON THE POWER BOX UNDER THE HOOD BEFORE IT WOULD SHUT OFF. I CALLED TRIPLE A TO HAVE IT TOWED TO ABERNATHY CHERVELOT AND BUICK IN LINCOLNTON, NORTH CAROLINA.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL "RANDOMLY" SHUT OFF. GIVING NO INDICATION OTHER THEN DIMMING LIGHTS. NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP OR THE GARAGE I WENT TO CAN EXPLAIN IT. THE POWER STEERING DOESNT WORK AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH ON THE HIGHWAY AND TOWN ROADS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK LUCERNE. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AN ABNORMAL SQUEAKING SOUND WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE NOISE WAS A DISTRACTION TO THE CONTACT'S FOCUS WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AS A CLOCK SPRING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE REOCCURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE STALLS AND IS STOPPING AFTER THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON ON THE FREE WAY AND STREETS. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL OF TIMES TO BE FIXED BUT THE PROBLEM COMES RIGHT BACK WITHIN DAYS. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN PERSISTENT SINCE 11/2018 AND STILL HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE FIXED AS IF 5/2019.
