BUICK Complaints

MY HEAD LIGHTS WON'T COME ON AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF ALL DAY LONG WHILE DRIVING.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER THIS CONCERNS THE TAKATA INFLATORS OR NOT. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A NORMAL TRAFFIC SPEED (APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 40MPH) , IT SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS UP AND DOWN RAPIDLY SEVERAL TIMES BETWEEN LOWER GEARS. IF THE ACCELERATION IS TERMINATED BY BY LIFTING YOUR FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR, THE SHIFTING GOES AWAY. AFTER THAT, A SOFT PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR WILL ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT FURTHER UNWANTED SHIFTING. THIS IS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM.

TAMARA RECALL; MY BUICK REGEAL IS 2011 WITH 84000 MILEAGE. A FRUSTRATING ROTTING/GRANDING NOISE COMES OUT FROM THE ENGINE FROM THE CAR IGNITION TURN ON TO ACCELERATING FR0-25MPH, BEFORE THE ANNOYING NOISE STOP. ENGINE ALSO MISFIRE AND CAR DIES WHEN IT LIKES; STABILITY CONTROL INDICATE ON THE SCREEN. WHEN CHECK ONLINE, LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AND HOW DIFFICULT FOR IT TO BE RESOLVE AS MANY THINGS BROCKEN CAN CAUSE THE PROBLEMS.

I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT & WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I TURNED LEFT & I'M UNCERTAIN IF MY EMERGENCY BRAKES KICKED ON OR IF MY CAR SIMPLY STALLED OUT, BUT MY CAR SUDDENLY WOULD NOT MOVE. MY PURSE, IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FLEW FORWARD & HIT THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR BEHIND ME AT THE LIGHT NEARLY REAR ENDED ME, BUT FORTUNATELY DID NOT. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO JIM ELLIS BUICK TO BE SERVICED, BUT THEY SAID IT APPEARED FINE & WAS CONFUSED. I DEFINITELY WAS NOT IN ANY DANGER OF HITTING ANYTHING WHEN TURNING AT THE INTERSECTION. THIS INCIDENT HAS MADE ME UNEASY WHEN OPERATING MY CAR.

WARNING LIGHT COME ON AND AND THE CAR WON'T START. I JUST PARK FOR A DAY OR SO, THAN IT STARTS UP LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT.

WHILE DRIVING DURING LIGHT ACCELERATION A MILD TO VIOLENT SHUDDER OCCURS CAUSING REDUCTION OR LOSS OF CONTROLL GM STATES ITS NORMAL. NO SPECIFIC SPEED HAPPENS ANY TIME AT RANDOM. AFTER RESEARCHING EXTENSIVELY IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THIS LINE OF VEHICLES. VEHICLE IS AN ALL WHEEL DRIVE BUICK ENCLAVE PLATNUM EDITION. NO PROBLEM OR SOLUTION IS FOUND. THIS IS DANGEROUS

WHILE DRIVING TO MY DESTINATION. THE SILVER LEVER THAT YOU PUSH IN TO SHIFT THE GEARS COMPLETELY FELL OUT IN MY HAND AND THE PIECE THAT HOUSES THE SPRING FOR THE LEVER. I COULD NOT PUT THE CAR IN PARK OR CUT THE CAR OFF.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE JULY OF 2017 PROBABLY ABOUT 6 MONTHS DRIVING MY RADIO MAKES A LOUD STATIC NOISE AND THEN NO SOUND NOT EVEN BLINKER SOUNDS. I GET IN IT LATER THAT DAY CRANK IT IT'S FINE. THEN BEGIN TO HAVE INTERMITTENT CRANKING ISSUES CRANK IT NOTHING EVERYTHING ON THE DASH BLACKS OUT NOTHING NOTHING HAPPENS TURN THE KEY BACK TURN IT BACK OVER IT CRANKS THAT STILL SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM IT STILL DOES THAT. THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER MY LIFTGATE JUST OPENS BY ITSELF THAT HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I JUST BEEN WAKE UP IN THE MORNING THE AND THE LIFTGATE IS OPEN. ONE MORNING MY HUSBAND WAKES UP TO GO TO WORK AND GOES OUTSIDE MY CAR HAS ACTUALLY REMOTE START ITSELF I WAS JUST SITTING IN THE YARD RUNNING LIKE SOMEBODY REMOTE STARTED IT BUT NO ONE WAS UP TO DO THAT. AT NIGHT WHEN I GO TO BED I DON'T LOCK MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I'M AFRAID IT MAY BE AUTO STARTED THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I GET UP AND NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WITH MY SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT THE ENGINE IS GIVING THE CODE FOR INJECTORS 2 4 AND 6. P204 202 206. THESE LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND GO OFF AND WHEN THEIR OWN THE VEHICLE WON'T START BOG DOWN AND TRY TO CUT OFF OR CUT OFF IT DOESN'T WANT TO STAY RUNNING CAME TO A RED LIGHT THREE DAYS AGO THOSE LIGHTS COME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF PULLING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT IT WAS GREEN SO I WAS PULLING AWAY CAR JUST SHUTS OFF PUT IT PUT IT IN PARK CRANK IT UP DRIVES RIGHT OFF.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM SUNTRUP FORD WESTPORT IN JULY 2018. THE DAY I TOOK IT HOME I FOUND ONE ISSUE WITH THE RACK AND PINION AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC TO BE LOOKED OVER. AFTER BEING GIVEN A LIST OF ISSUES I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT ALL OF THE ISSUES WOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED. 2 MONTHS AND NO COMMUNICATION LATER I GET MY CAR BACK AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER STILL WAS NOT FIXED, MAKING THE CAR UNSAFE FOR MYSELF AND MY TWO CHILDREN TO BE IN. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOW REFUSING TO FIX THE BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH WAS ON THE ORIGINAL LIST OF THINGS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS INCIDENT TOOK PLACE BETWEEN JULY 21ST 2018 TILL SEPT 26TH 2018

WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/DASH AND HEADLIGHT/DAYTIME DRIVING LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY EITHER FLASH OFF AND ON OR SHUT OFF FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AND COME BACK ON. THIS PROBLEM HAS BUILT UP OVER TIME AND THE RADIO HAS ALSO STARTED TO ALSO INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF AND ON CONJUNCTION WITH ALL THE LIGHTING. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN EVER THERE IS SOME KIND OF QUICK DRAW OF ELECTRICAL POWER, SUCH AS BRAKING, DOWNSHIFTING OF TRANSMISSION TO ACCELERATE, TURNING ON DEFROSTERS, OR SIMPLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS POWER LOSS ALSO AFFECTS THE CRUISE CONTROL AND WHEN POWER LOSS OCCURS IT WILL DISENGAGE. THIS DISTURBINGLY OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND POWER LOSS TO INSTRUMENT PANEL/DASH AND HEADLIGHT LEAVES ME IN COMPLETE DARKNESS FOR SEVERAL MOMENTS AT TIME. I HAVE NOT IDEA HOW FAST I'M GOING OF IF THE ROAD IS STILL IN FRONT OF ME. I NOTICE AN ISSUE WITH THE PREVIOUS BODY STYLE OF LACROSSE BUT NOT MINE. IF THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED FOR SEVERAL HOURS SOME THING OR SOME PROGRAM IS RESET AND THE ISSUE WILL STOP FOR ROUGHLY TWO WEEKS AND THEN START BACK UP, BUT SO FAR THE ISSUE SEEMS TO INTENSIFY UP RESTARTING AFTER THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED. THE DRIVETRAIN IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE POWER LOSS AND WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE DURING THE ILLUMINATION AND INSTRUMENTATION LOSS. THE ISSUE DOES SEEM TO REPEAT MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN IN TOWN WITH THE CONSTANT ACCELERATION AND BRAKING. ON THE INTERSTATE THE ISSUE WILL OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE CRUISING AND WHEN ACCELERATING OR BRAKING AND IF SOME DEVICE IS ACTIVATED SUCH AS DEFROSTERS, TURN SIGNALS, OR AIR CONDITIONING. WITH THE INTERMITTENT AND SO FAR SHORT NATURE OF THE POWER LOSS, I'M NOT ABLE TO ASCERTAIN IF ANY OTHER SYSTEMS ARE BEING AFFECTED AS OF YET. THE PROBLEM RESEMBLES ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY FAILURE, BUT BOTH WERE REPLACED AT THE ONSET OVER A YEAR AGO. VIDEOS OF THE CLUSTER ARE AVAILABLE BUT TOO LARGE TO ATTACH.
