BUICK Complaints

MY TCS & ABS LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF. I AM UNABLE TO GET A LOT OF POWER AFTER STOPPING & MY CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE. ??? THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN ALL BUICK LACROSSES. RECALL?????

CAR IS STATIONARY. AT APPROXIMATELY 50000 MI. (AND 6 YRS OF AGE) ALL FOUR DOOR LOCKS STARTED RANDOMLY AND INTERMITTENTLY STICKING. SYMPTOM IS THAT, ONCE INSIDE THE CAR AND DOORS ARE LOCKED, DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK AND HANDLES DO DO NOT OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE. SOLUTION WAS TO OPEN THE WINDOW AND ATTEMPT TO OPEN FROM OUTSIDE WHICH SOMETIMES WORKED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT OR PASSENGERS ARE OTHERWISE IN DISTRESS, CANNOT EXIT THE CAR. HAVE SEEN REPEATED REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. SAFETY ISSUE.

MY SERVICE STABILTY TRACK KEEPS COMING IN AND OFF AND IT'S LIKE THE CAR JUST WANTS TO STOP AS I'M DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. ALSO, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON AND STAYING ON AND SEEMS TO BE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 20/25 MPH AND THE RPMS ARE GOING UP REALLY HIGH WITH OUT THE CAR REALLY ACCELERATEING. IT'S EVEN WORSE KNOWING MY CHILDREN WHERE IN THE CAR AND IT TO HAPPEN OUT OF NO WHERE. I HAVE BEEN IN MOTION WITH BOTH ISSUES FROM FINE ONE MINUTE AND NOT THE NEXT. I HAVE A PIC OF WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE STABILTY TRACK BUT DIDN'T GET ONE WITH POWER PROBLEM DUE TO WHERE AND WHEN I WAS ON ROAD TO DANGEROUS. SERVICE STABILTY TRACK HAPPENED 08/28/2018 AND THE POWER TRANS PROBLEM HAPPENED 09/01/2018 AND IS STILL A PROBLEM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE. WILL TRY A PIC AND UPLOAD LATER IF POSSIBLE. WAS DRIVING ON HWY 20 IN NEBRASKA ON BOTH OCCURRENCES COMING HOME FROM WORK ON 08/28/2018 AND HEADED DOWN SAME HWY TO GO CAMPING WITH MY CHILDREN ON 09/01/2018 WITH POWER TEAM PROBLEM THAT IS STILL HAPPENING NOT DRIVING VEHICLE NOW.

THE CODE INDICATES AN EVAPORATION LEAK FROM THE FUEL TANK.. EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN THE CAR IT SPUTTERS OR STALLS BEFORE CRANKING.

ON 9/1/18 I DROVE MY CAR ALL MORNING LATE THAT NIGHT WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE AGAIN IT WOULDN'T START AND I COULD SMELL A LITTLE BURNING. CHECKED THE FUSE BOX AND IT HAD BLEW OUT A COUPLE OF FUSES SO WE CHANGED THEM. 3DAYS LATER IT DID THE SAME THING WE CHANGED THE FUSES AGAIN AND ONCE AGAIN THE BLEW NOW WHEN WE CHANGED THEM IT WON'T START AT ALL. I HAD TO KEEP CHANGING THE FUEL PUMP FUSE AND A DEALER SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE METAL OF THE SEAT TOUCHING THE BOX .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 BUICK ENCLAVE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP, IT STALLED AND HESITATED TO MOVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC STOP FEATURE ON THE VEHICLE CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CANNON CHEVROLET BUICK CADILLAC (100 N THACKER LOOP, OXFORD, MS 38655, (662) 550-4208) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT WITH THE AUTOMATIC STOP FEATURE AND THERE WAS NO REMEDY TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,500. CONSUMER STATED THE ENGINE AUTO STOP FEATURE CAUSES ENGINE TO GO DEAD EVERY TIME I COME TO COMPLETE STOP. ENGINE STARTS AFTER BREAK IS RELEASED. ON 9/22/18 ENGINE STOPPED WHILE CROSSING A 4 LANE HIGHWAY. UPDATED 10/26/18*JP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK LUCERNE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO ENGINE MOUNT FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE FRONT MOTOR MOUNT AND SIDE TORQUE MOUNT WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

BEGINNING IN MAY, I STARTED NOTICING ODD DECLINES IN ACCELERATIONS, RANDOMLY, EVEN WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL. THEN, I ALMOST STALLED OUT ON THE ROAD & LOST POWER STEERING. THIS IS DANGEROUS & SCARY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP & REPORTED A HARD SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND MY RADIO SHUTTING OFF RANDOMLY, TOO. AFTER LOOKING OVER MY CAR, I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT 'REPLICATE THE ISSUE' OF LOSING POWER, AND THAT THEY NEEDED A CODE OR AN ERROR MESSAGE & TO BRING IT BACK WHEN I HAD THAT! I GUESS, IT'S OK WITH GM IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT (OR DIE) IN THE MEANTIME, & I WAS TOLD THAT THE HARD SHIFT IS JUST HOW THE CAR RUNS. THESE ANSWERS ARE UNACCEPTABLE. IF A CAR IS DANGEROUS, YOU DON'T SEND A PERSON BACK OUT ON THE ROAD BECAUSE YOU CAN'T 'REPLICATE' THE ISSUE. FURTHERMORE, A SERIOUS HARD SHIFT BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR IS NOT HOW A CAR IS MADE. I BELIEVE THESE ARE 'CANNED' STATEMENTS THAT ARE USED AND TAUGHT IN HOPES THAT THE OWNER WILL GO AWAY'WHICH I DID, BUT SHOULDN'T HAVE. THEN IN AUGUST MY CAR STALLED OUT TWICE & I LOST POWER STEERING AND COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. BUT NOW, THINGS ARE EVEN WORSE. MY RADIO HAS CUT OFF AGAIN, THE HARD SHIFT IS MORE OBVIOUS, AND NOW MY PASSENGER SEAT SAYS THERE IS SOMEONE THERE WHEN THEY ARE NOT, SO IT BEEPS AT ME. THE CAR IS POSSESSED. THERE IS NO WAS IT SHOULD HAVE THIS MANY PROBLEMS AT ONE TIME. IT SEEMS ELECTRICAL. DEALERSHIP HAS HAD IT FOR TWO WEEKS. I HAD A MESSAGE THIS TIME; STABILITRAK NEEDS SERVICED. THEY AGAIN SAID "CAN'T REPLICATE IT", BUT I WAS NOT ALLOWING THAT ANSWER THIS TIME. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS. GM HAS BEEN SUED OVER VERY SIMILAR ISSUE & SOME ARE REPORTING THEIR FIX ISN'T WORKING & STILL LOSE POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. OTHER 2016 GM CARS HAVE THIS ISSUE. I AM RESEARCHING THIS & IT OBVIOUS GM HAS AN ON-GOING DANGEROUS ISSUE & IS IGNORING IT AGAIN. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE? NHTSA HELP!

THE RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON, A STABILITRAK WARNING SOMETIMES COMES ON, THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND THE CAR TURNS OFF WHICH THEN LOCKS THE STEERING AND THEN THE CAR WILL TURN BACK ON BY ITSELF. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN DRIVING IN TOWN, ON THE HIGHWAY, TURNING, AT ANY SPEED, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE GAS TANK IS FULL/LOW, WITH AND WITHOUT ANY ACCESSORIES PLUGGED IN, AND REGARDLESS OF THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. THIS ISSUE MAKES THE CAR VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND IT IS SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS 8/3/18.

FIRST ELECTRICAL... MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DURING BAD RAIN RIGHT AFTER COMING OUT THE TUNNEL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC NO ACCIDENT I KNEW ROAD ENOUGH TO PULL OVER.. GOT FIXED REPLACED WIPER MOTOR 3 TIMES AND THE WIPER SWITCH WIPERS STILL GO WITHOUT BEING TURNED ON... THEN MY DASH KEEPS GETTING DIM AND MY ABS,TRACTION ,AND BRAKE LIGHTSARE ON AND I'VE HAD THAT FIXED STILL KEEPS STAYING LIT.... I GET REGULAR OIL CHANGES AT WALMART EVERY 3000 MILES THERES FLUID LEAKING FROM VALVE COVER THAT I HAD REPLACED ...THINGS I REPLACED ON CAR SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN INSPECTED.. MY DASH WAS LIFTED WHEN I PURCHASED VEHICLE USED ALSO SAID IT WAS FINE MVA MADE THEM REINSPECT CAR N ITS STILL LIFTED I ALSO KNOW IT WONT PASS INSPECTION LIFTED
