BUICK Complaints

I HAD PROBLEM WITH WINDOWS NOT ROLLING UP AND DOWN. AFTER I TOOK MY BUICK TO PEP BOYS 3325 124TH AVE NW COON RAPIDS MN ELECTRIC MECHANIC FOUND OUT THAT MY WINDOW POWER SWITCH IS DAMAGED AFTER RAIN STORM. LATER I EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE: 1 STRANGE ENGINE NOISE WHILE RUNNING 2 PUSHING FORWARD ONCE RELEASE FOOT FROM BRAKE. PEP BOYS MECHANIC LOOKED AT ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING LOOKS OK BUT I NEED TO GET ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC DONE WITH PEP BOYS. I GOT SCHEDULE FOR THAT. MEANWHILE I ENDED UP IN CAR TRAFFIC PROBLEM BECAUSE OF FIRE OF MY VEHICLE.

2014 BUICK ENCLAVE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO MALFUNCTIONING DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELTS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT PROPERLY RESTRAIN THE OCCUPANTS. THE DRIVER RECEIVED 2 BLACK EYES AS A RESULT OF STRIKING THE LEFT SIDE WINDSHIELD POST WITH FOREHEAD. THE PASSENGER ALSO SUFFERED INJURIES. *JS *JS

BATTERY ISN'T CHARGING, CAR WILL STALL FREQUENTLY. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE, BUT HAS GOTTEN INCREASINGLY WORSE OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS

MATERIAL IS MELTING ON THE VEHICLE DURING HOT TEMPS WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED NOT RUNNING AROUND ALL KNOBS CAUSING BURNS WHEN ADJUSTING VOLUME ON RADIO, ADJUSTING HEADLIGHT KNOBS LEAVING A MELTED BROWN SUBSTANCE ON HANDS ALSO WHEN SWITCHING GEAR SHIFT CAUSING RELEASE BUTTON ON GEAR SHIFT TO FALL OFF AND SINK ALL THE WAY IN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 BUICK VERANO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME UNSTABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (PARK FORD OF MAHOPAC, 276 US-6, MAHOPAC, NY) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE COIL SPRING WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS DISCONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

CAR WAS STATIONARY, AND ATTEMPTED TO START. ENGINE WAS NOT GETTING GAS. DEALER IDENTIFIED REAR FUSE BOX/FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS SHORTED OUT. HE STATED THIS COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME- STATIONARY OR GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SHORT IN FUSE BOX COULD RESULT IN FIRE. SHORT WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY REAR SEAT BRACKET RUBBING ON FUSE BOX, AS EVIDENCED BY MARKINGS ON FUSE BOX. THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE ON INTERNET SITES. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED?

IN KROGER PARKING LOT JUST NOW, PARKED IN A PARKING PLACE AND TRYING TO LOAD GROCERIES. OPENED THE LIFT GATE LIKE NORMAL, MY MOTHER WAS INSIDE IT AND IT STARTED CLOSING IMMEDIATELY ON HER. SHE REACHED UP AND PUSHED IT UP SO SHE COULD GET OUT FROM UNDER IT AND IT STARTED TO GO UP AGAIN AND THEN STARTED CLOSING AGAIN. IT KEPT DINGING AS IT OPENED AND CLOSED. SHE TRIED TO OPEN IT AFTER IT WAS CLOSED FOR A MINUTE AND IT OPENED AND THEN SLAMMED SHUT HARD BEFORE IT OPENED ALL THE WAY.

MY SHIFT CABLE DISENGAGED FROM THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER AND I AM NOT ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS WHICH MEANS I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD MY CAR FOR A YEAR AND I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT NOW BECAUSE THE LEVER IS BROKEN. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FIX THIS, MY CAR SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THAT.

REAR DOOR(S) WILL NOT OPEN FROM EITHER THE OUTSIDE HANDLE OR THE INSIDE. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT RELATED TO THE POSITION OF THE CHILD LOCK PROTECTION ON THE DOORS. IT APPEARS SPORADICALLY AT FIRST UNTIL, FINALLY, NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO OPEN THE DOOR(S). THIS IS A EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD IF SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IN A HURRY (I.E. FIRE, ACCIDENT, ETC.) ONE WOULD HAVE TO CRAWL OVER THE FRONT SEATS TO GET OUT IN THIS SITUATION. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM/COMPLAINT AMONG BUICK LUCERNE OWNERS (VIA THE INTERNET) AND WITH VARIOUS MODEL YEARS.

3.2L V6 ENGINE DROPPED A VALVE AND BLEW THE ENGINE. IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THAT YEAR MODEL. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE AND STOPPED PULLING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR FELT LIKE IT WOULD NOT PULL. ONCE GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER AGAIN. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND SAID IT DROPPED A VALVE. WAS ONLY ABLE TO FIND A PIECE OF THE VALVE LEFT WITHOUT GOING COMPLETELY INTO THE MOTOR. NOW SELLING THE CAR FOR SCRAP.
