BUICK Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK ENCLAVE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE AND THE TRACTION AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHERE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS PERFORMED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 98,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 1999 BUICK REGAL. AFTER DRIVING AND PARKING THE VEHICLE, SMOKE AND FLAMES APPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE FAILURE, BUT THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION TOO LATE. THE RECALL INFORMATION AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

MY CAR HAS RECENTLY HAD REDUCED BATTERY POWER AND STRONG BURNING SMELL IN THE BACK SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEMS WITH RECALL 13V173000. HOWEVER, MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS INSPECTED AND THE PART WAS DETERMINED TO BE FINE, HOWEVER, NOW IT WOULD SEEM AS THOUGH MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED, AS IT IS NOW EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I DON'T HAVE TANGIBLE EVIDENCE BECAUSE I DIDN'T DRIVE IT LONG ENOUGH FOR THE TRUNK TO CATCH ON FIRE.

WHEN DRIVING OR COMING TO A STOP OR EVEN MAKING A TURNING THE VEHICLES SHAKES AND THEN SHUTS OFF, THIS FIRST HAPPEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A VERY BUSY STREET, THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED IT HAPPENED WITH NO WARNING JUST A SHAKE AND THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF, REDUCING SPEED RAPIDLY , CAUSING THE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME TO DO THE SAME, THANK GOD THAT THERE WASN'T AN ACCIDENT, BUT IT SURE COULD HAVE BEEN. AND NOW I SEE ON THE FORUM THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, BUICK ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT, DOES THIS FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW, HELP

2003 BUICK REGAL. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR RECALL NOTICE - VEHICLE VANDALIZED AT DEALERSHIP - REFUSES TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES. *SMD THE CONSUMER DID NOT REFERENCE A RECALL. *JB

THIS IS A 1 OWNER VEHICLE, NOT DRIVEN LONG DISTANCES OR ON SALTED OR ROUGH TERRAIN. IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH STABILIZER BARS, SHOCKS, STRUTS, AND BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE NOT PUT BACK ON PROPERLY THE BRAKES AND ROTORS, AND IN 2011 THE GEAR BOX HAD A LEAK WHICH WAS REPLACED. NOW AFTER SPENDING $4K IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, I AM BEING TOLD THE RACK AND PINION (WHICH IS THE SAME AS THE GEAR BOX) IS LEAKING AGAIN! I ONLY HAVE 74K MILES ON THIS CAR! I PREVIOUSLY HAD A 1990 CHEVY SUBURBAN THAT NEVER HAD THESE KINDS OF ISSUES! AND YET HERE ALONE I SEE OVER 80 ISSUES FOR THE POWER STEERING ALONE! MAKE GM RECALL THIS VEHICLE OR I FULLY INTEND TO START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND INCLUDE YOUR ORGANIZATION AS WELL FOR FAILURE TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC!

THREE OF FOUR TIRES PURCHASED HAD A BELT SEPARATION - ONE LOST A SIZEABLE PIECE OF TREAD. THIS OCCURRED OVER A SPAN OF THREE MONTHS.

I REPLACED MY SENSOR AND MY THERMOSTAT BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD SAID THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING AFTER REPLACING IT THE DASHBOARD CONTINUES TO SAY THE CAR IS OVERHEATING. IT'S DOING IT WHILE DRIVING ON PUBLIC STREET AND HIGHWAYS
