BUICK Complaints

SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM . SIDE AND REAR ALERTS DO NOT WORK. NOTICE COMES UP ON DASHBOARD EVERY TIME I START THE CAR. HAPPENED 200 MILES AFTER WARRANTY IS OVER AT 50,000 MILES.

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY SHOW CONDENSATION/WATER IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AFTER IT RAINS. AT ONE POINT, THE CONDENSATION CAUSED THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE HID BALLAST, AN LOSS OF HEADLIGHT. IN VIEWING A BUICK REGAL FORUM, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL CAR AND GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY OR MOVING. RAIN CAUSES THE FAULTY HEADLIGHT SEALS TO SHOW THE PROBLEM.HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS WHEN IT RAINS. IMAGES TO LARGE TO SEND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 BUICK ENCLAVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED AND CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO SEIZE IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE INTERMITTENT FAILURE AND WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS WERE NOT PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE LEFT SIDE BLIND SIDE ALERT FAILED.WHEN DRIVING HOME THE LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR STAYED ON.WHEN I GOT HOME IT WAS ON.THE NEXT DAY IT WAS OFF AND NO LONGER WORKED.

I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE METERS START GOING UP AN DOWN AN THEN IT WILL SAY CAR PARKING ASSIST IS IN THEN THE CAR WILL SHUT OF THIS CAN REALLY CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT WHAT IF I'M IN THE CAR WITH MY KIDS ONE DAY AN THE CAR SHUTS OF AN I HAVE NOWHERE TO PULL OVER

THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE DASH IS SEPARATING FROM THE FIREWALL OF THE MOTOR. THERE IS A GAP BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE DASH

REC- BATTERY DRAIN NO START CONDITION OR A STALL MAY MELT OR OVERHEAT. I REVEIVED LETTER ON 1/2019 HOWEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE IN JULY 2018 HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED MECHANIC REP;ACED BETTERY. TK TO DEALERSHIP THEY EXPERIENCED THE SAME AND DRAINING BATTERY. SENT INVOICE TO BUICK FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF BATTERY THAT WAS STILL IN WARRANTY AND TOWING REFUSED TO REIMBURSE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND A SAFETY ISSUE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN PARKING LOT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK ENCLAVE. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND CONDITIONS DOOR LOCKED GO UP AND DOWN, GAUGES GO CRAZY, TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS, ENGINE DOESN'T DIE, PULL OVER AND EVERYTHING IS FINE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN

THE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM HAS FAILED SO I NO LONGER HAVE MIRROR BLIND SPOT PROTECTION. THE PROBLEM IS ALSO CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILING. THE ISSUE IS EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE COVERED BY BULLITEN 16-NA-178 FOR OTHER GM VEHICLES OF THE SAME MODEL YEARS WHICH USE THE SAME SYSTEM. GM SHOULD RECALL ALL THE CARS THAT USED THIS SYSTEM, NOT JUST SOME AS IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS THE WHOLE CLUSTER CAN GO DEAD WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN.
