THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE IS COMING OFF. MY CAR WAS IN MY GARAGE WHEN ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, I OPENED THE DOOR AND THE HANDLE PULLED AWAY FROM THE DOOR. I COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR! I HAD TO ENTER THE CAR THROUGH THE PASSENGER'S SIDE IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I THEN PUSHED THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE BACK INTO PLACE AND USED SHIPPING TAPE TO KEEP IT IN PLACE UNTIL I COULD GET IT REPAIRED. I CALLED THE BUICK NATIONAL HELPLINE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS AN UNOFFICIAL RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY CALLED MY LOCAL BUICK DEALER AND ARRANGED FOR ME TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE UNDER WARRANTY, TODAY, OCTOBER 5. THE DEALER, FOX VALLEY BUICK GMC IN ST. CHARLES, IL SAID THEY WOULD DO THE REPAIRS BUT IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $200. I HAD NO OTHER OPTION AND HAD THE DOOR HANDLE REPLACED. I WAS CHARGED $74 FOR A $30 PART AND $134 FOR LABOR. I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP OWNER TO DISCUSS THIS MATTER OF CHARGING FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS.

PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT WORK WITH PASSENGER SITTING IN SEAT AT ANY TIME.

BUICK FIXED 3 RECALLS BUT WON'T FIX ON SAY I HAVE TO PAY FOR ANOTHER PART BEFORE THEY CAN FIX LAST RECALL.
