MY CAR SHUT OFF WILL NOT START WITH KEY IN THE IGNITION, AND WHEN STARTED WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE IT STILL WILL NOT MOVE AND CAR WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK. THE WHOLE ENTIRE IGNITION SYSTEM IS LOCKED UP. I TRIED MY SPARE KEY THE CAR HAS SHUT DOWN AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED HOME. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY.

TAKATA RECALL.....THE ECM IS STILL NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AFTER THE RECALL IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AGAIN. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS CAR WILL CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!!!!

NYB CAR HAS LESS THAN 69K MILES AND IS BURNING THROUGH OIL. I BOUGHT IT USED AND THE DEALER LIKED WARRANTY ENDED BEFORE PROBLEMS STARTED. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITHIN THE FIRST 2000 MILES OF ME DRIVING AND THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE ME ANOTHER $200 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. SO I WENT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE ENGINE WAS BURNING THROUGH OIL FASTER THAN IT SHOULD. AT THIS POINT THE CAR HAD TURNED OFF WHILE UNDER 10MPH TWICE WHICH IS DANGEROUS AS THE BRAKES LOCK UP ALONG WITH STEERING BECOMING VERY STIFF. A MECHANIC DID WORK ON THE CAR REPLACING PLUGS AND OTHER PARTS THAT HAD BEEN DAMAGED FUE TO THE OIL BEING GONE, BUT THE SAME ENGINE IS STILL IN THE CAR. NOW LESS THAN A YEAR LATER ALONG WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES THE CAR STILL BURNS THROUGH OIL. THE ENGINE CAUSES THE CAR TO ROCK WHEN AT IDLE AND WHEN MOVING UNDER 5MPH. MY FEAR IS THAT IVE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AGAIN. THIS IS A FAULT OF BUICK FOR DESIGNING AN ENGINE THAT CAN'T HOLD OIL.

SUNROOF WATER LEAK. WHEN IT RAINS WATER POURS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE ROOF ONTO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. FROM FALLING WATER TO WATER RUNNING DOWN THROUGH THE WALLS OF EVERY PART OF THE CAR. IT HAS STARTED TO CAUSE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE AND ALSO I HAVE FOUND MOLD UNDER THE CARPET WHERE THE WATER ACCUMULATES. IT IS USUALLY 1 TO 2 INCHES OF WATER ON THE FLOOR BOARDS AFTER RAINING. CAUSING MOLD, RUST AND MILDEW. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER IT RAINS, A LITTLE OR ALOT. THIS MAY BE CAUSING UNHEALTH IISUES. IT WOULD BE SMART FOR BUICK TO FIX THESE ISSUES NOW BEFORE MEDICAL BILLS ARE INVOLVED.
