BUICK Complaints

LAST NIGHT (11/21/2016) MY 2012 BUICK ENCLAVE'S PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 61,000 MILES.

I'VE NOTICED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM MANY PEOPLE HAVE WITH THIS CAR. HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL?

POWER LIFT GATE STRUTS FAILED. THIS WAS A RECALL ON OTHER 2012 MODELS. I HAD TO PAY $1113.21 FOR THIS REPAIR. THIS CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS LIFTGATE FELL ON MY DAUGHTER. WE CAUGHT IT BUT SHE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT.
