BUICK Complaints

I HAVE ISSUES WITH THE A/C IT DOES IT'S OWN THING AT TIMES. THE A/C FAN NEVER HAS BLOWN STRONG. IT'S LIKE THE DUCK WORK IS OBSTRUCTED SOME HOW. SITTING STILL AT TIMES THE A/C DOES NOT BLOW COLD AT ALL UNTIL YOU MOVE THEN IT STARTS TO BLOW COOL. AT TIMES A SMALL PART OF THE COOL AT TIMES SMALL AMOUNTS OF AIR SEEPS THROUGH THE DEFROSTER AND FOGS UP THE WINDSHIELD ESPECIALLY AT NIGHTS.

ON ONLY THE THIRD DAY AFTER PURCHASING A BUICK ENCLAVE AVENIR 2018 I HAD A SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVING THE BRAKES. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES A GRINDING NOISE WITH AN INABILITY TO PROPERLY BRAKE AND A RED SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY DASH. THIS HAS HAPPENED FROM A COLD START AS WELL AS AFTER BEING IN MOTION AT LEAST 20 MINUTES CITY DRIVING. MY CAR HAS SINCE BEEN IN THE DEALER ON 4 OCCASIONS REPLACED THREE PARTS AND IS STILL CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERS. THE DEALER HAS HAD MY VEHICLE LONGER THAN I HAVE ALMOST 40 DAYS NOW WITH NO INFORMATION ON WHEN I WILL HAVE IT BACK AND I HAVE ONLLY OWNED MY VEHICLE FOR TWO MONTHS.

I HAVE PROBLEMS TRYING TO GET THE DASH LIGHTS INCREASE IN BRIGHTNESS USING THE VARIIABLE CONTROL ON THE INTERIOR DURING A NORMAL DAYTIME ESPECIALLY WHEN I TRY TO SEE THE SPEEDOMETER (DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THE DASH WHICH CAN BLOCK EXTERIOR LIGHT FROM ILLUMINATING THE DIAL ESPECIALLY AROUND 10:45 AND 11:15 AM MST.) ESP. WHEN I'M DRIVING

STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 2/9/2018 PAID OUT $545.00 TO HAVE PURGE SOLENOID AND EVAP FLOW CHANGED AND TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AND ADJUSTED. WELL 4 1/2 HOURS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES BACK ON AND IT STARTS WITH THIS REDUCE POWER TO THE ENGINE AGAIN. THE REDUCE POWER TO THE ENGINE DID THIS 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME I HAD TO SHUT THE CAR OFF WAIT 30 SECONDS AND RESTART THE CAR AND EACH TIME IT DID THIS I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR 4 TIME BEFORE IT WOULD GO OFF AND THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR 4 HOURS BEFORE IT WENT OFF, WELL THAT DIDN'T LAST LONG BEFORE I START HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN ON 2/11/2018 LETTING THE CAR WARM UP THE REDUCE POWER TO THE ENGINE CAME ON AND I WAS STILL IN THE GARAGE, THAT WAS 7:30 AM THEN AGAIN AT 8:05 THEN AGAIN AT 8:37 SO NOW AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I WANT GET ON THE EXPRESSWAY CAUSE OF THIS FOR I MIGHT GET KILLED OR INJURED, GM REALLY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE THEM REPAIR THIS PROBLEM

PURCHASED 4 NEW P20570R15 TIRES FROM, U GUEST IS, WAL-MART IN MWC, OK. ALL FOUR TIRES HAD BELT SEPARATION ISSUES AND THREW MY CAR OUT OF BALANCE AND IN TURN CAUSED MAJOR WHEEL ISSUES. MY CAR STARTED VIBRATING AND SHAKING SO BAD I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON THE INTERSTATE THE VIBRATION GOT SO BAD, MY BACK TWO TIRES BLEW OUT, I LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR AND MY CAR ENDED UP IN A FIELD OF MUD WITH NO ONE IN MILES OF ME. MY PHONE HAD DIED AND I HAD TO WALK 4 MILES, IN THE DARK IN 36 DEGREE TEMP. AFTER TOWING MY CAR TO WAL-MART AND COMPLAINING ABOUT MY TIRES WAL-MART WOULD NOT REPLACE ANY OF THE FAULTY, BULGING, DEATH TRAP TIRES. BECAUSE OF THESE TIRES I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE TWICE. AND WAL-MART, WELL THEY CAN KISS MY [XXX] SO CAN THE MANUFACTURERS. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND NOR PURCHASE THEIR PRODUCT EVER AGAIN.OH BY THE WAY DURING THE INITIAL PURCHASE OF THESE CRAP TIRES A WAL-MART MECHANIC STOLE ITEMS OUT OF MY CAR. I WITNESSED THE ACT AND COMPLAINED TO THE STORE MANAGER, WHICH NOTHING RESULTED IN THE MATTER. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER AND INTEGRATED CENTER STACK DISPLAY DETAILS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH AND DIFFICULT TO SEE DURING THE DAY.
