BUICK Complaints

"TAKATA RECALL" WE BOUGHT A USED 2005 BUICK LACROSSE FOR OUR SON IN APRIL 2016; AT FIRST IT RAN PERFECT AND THEN WE NOTICED A THUMP WHEN CHANGING GEARS (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). TWO WEEKS AGO MY SON WAS GOING TO THE STORE AND "DRIVE" STOPPED WORKING. NOW IT IS SITTING IN THE YARD AND WILL ONLY GO INTO 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AND REVERSE. IT WILL NOT GO INTO DRIVE.

PLEASE REFER TO THE LETTER ATTACHED BELOW. IT IS A COPY OF THE LETTER THAT WAS ORIGINALLY SENT TO THE GEORGIA ATTORNEY GENERAL CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION ON JUNE 2, 2016. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ROOF SEALANT WAS FRACTURED AND CAUSED WATER TO LEAK INTO THE VEHICLE.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

CAR SPUTTERED WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED OR PULLING OFF FROM STANDING STILL AND LOST POWER AND THEN STOPPED COMPLETELY. COULD NOT TURN WHEEL. TRACTION OFF - STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON. TOWED TO DEALER - DEALER THOUGHT THEY REPAIRED. NEXT DAY SAME THING HAPPENED BUT NO DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. TOWED AGAIN TO DEALER - NOW IT NEEDS ENGINE HARNESS AND GM PART IS ON BACK ORDER WITH NO DATE FOR RELEASE IN FUTURE. CANNOT GET PART ANYWHERE. CANNOT DRIVE CAR.

MY ORIGINAL MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR 255/60R 19 WAS RECALLED. HOWEVER MY DOT IS OFF BY MAYBE 8 MONTHS. ISSUE WAS DEFECT INSIDEWALL. PERFORATION ETC. I HAVE THE WEXACT SAME ISSUE YET MY PRODUCTION DATES ARE NOT INCLUDED. PLEASE HELP ME. THESE ARE ORIGINAL INSALLED TIRES AND MY CAR HAS 19,1000 MILES AND ALL 4 TIRES HAVE THIS SAME SEVERE CRACKING ON ALL SIDEWALLS. MICHELIN WONT CONSIDER TO INCLUDE MINE IN THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY SAID ONLY THE NUMBER FROM 1913 TO 2113 ARE IN THE RECALL. I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY SAME BRAND TYOE TIRES TOO. I CANNOT AFFORD TO SPEND $1000 ON TIRES (WHICH HAS THE SAME DEFECT BUT HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED. PLEASE HELP

ALL FOUR DOOR LOCK LATCHES FAILED AT AROUND 70,000 MILES. THE LOCAL BUICK DEALERSHIP STATED THAT ALL 4 SENSORS WERE BAD AND REPAIR THEM FOR $1,600. BUICK HAS A PARTS QUALITY ISSUE OR A DESIGN PROBLEM. POSES A SAFETY ISSUE IF IN AN ACCIDENT.

PURCHASED ON 2004, USED, THE 2003 VEHICLE HAS CONSISTENTLY HAD THE HEAD LAMPS GO OUT WHEN IN HIGHBEAMS ARE ACTIVATED. THE DEALER SAID THIS IS A SHORT AND SAID IT WOULD COST ME TO FIX THEM AND THIS HAPPENS TO MANY OF THESE VEHICLES. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THE LIGHTS GO OUT. CLICKING THE LOW BEAMS ON TURN THE LIGHTS BACK ON. SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE, WHY IS THERE. TO A RECALL ON THIS? THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT ALL SPEEDS. (ONLY IN THE DARK, SINCE THIS IS WHEN THE HIGH BEA,S ARE USED!)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 BUICK ENCLAVE. WHILE GETTING CARGO OUT OF THE VEHICLE, THE TAILGATE CLOSED AND LOCKED AND FAILED TO RETRACT AND REOPEN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR HAND INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

HUSBAND WAS DRIVING CAR HOME ON A 6 HOUR ROAD TRIP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. EVERYTIME HE WOULD SLOW DOWN TO A STOP OR NEAR STOP THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF. ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IT IS MISSING. I HAD ONSTAR RUN THEIR DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY SAID ISSUE WITH TIMING SYSTEM, ERROR CODE P0010. WHAT IF HE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED ON HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THIS. READING OTHER COMPLAINTS IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO HAD THIS ISSUE.
