BUICK Complaints

AS DRIVING AT 50 MILES/HR ON SUBURBAN MAIN STREET, ENGINE LOST COMPLETE POWER. ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AT SAME TIME ALONG WITH CHECK ENGINE ICON. MY BUICK LACROSSE HAD NO ACCELERATION, NO POWER STEERING, AND NO POWER BRAKES. THE CAR HAD NO PREVIOUS WARNING. NO PREVIOUS REDUCED PERFORMANCE WITH ENGINE. NO PROBLEMS WITH GAS ECONOMY. ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THIS WOULD HAPPEN. CAR STILL HAD ELECTRICITY SINCE SPEEDOMETER STILL READING AND RADIO ON. AFTER TURNING OFF CAR AND RESTARTING NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. GM STATES NO ERROR MESSAGE IN COMPUTER. HOWEVER, THIS IS OUR SECOND GM CAR TO EXPERIENCE A REDUCED ENGINE SCENARIO. THIS TIME HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT REDUCED JUST COMPLETELY OFF. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN! WHAT IF IT OCCURS ON THE EXPRESSWAY WITH FAST TRAFFIC. LUCKILY IT WAS A LOCAL, BUT BUSY STREET, AND A SUNDAY. I CANNOT BELIEVE A GOVERNMENT AGENCY HAS NOT HELD GM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. A CAR WITH SUDDEN POWER LOSS IS A MAJOR PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERN. LUCKILY AGAIN I'M AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER WITH A SIMILAR INCIDENCE IN ANOTHER GM VEHICLE AND KNEW IF I HIT THE BRAKES I WAS A SITTING DUCK. HOW CAN A CAR LOSE POWER AND MULTIPLE POSTS ON INTERNET AND NO RECALL ? OUR BUICK ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INNER CONNECTORS HAD BEEN PREMATURELY BURNING AND CREATED A SHORT WITH THE LIGHTING FIXTURE.

WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING AT ABOUT 65 MPH IN OUR NEW 2016 BUICK ENCLAVE WITH ABOUT 319 ODOMETER MILES THE LEFT FRONT TIRE SENSOR CAME ON INDICATING TO ADD AIR. WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS THE TIRE BLEW OUT. AFTER I WAS ABLE TO CROSS LANES TO STOP ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER AAA WAS ABLE TO COME CHANGE THE TIRE WITH THE SMALL SPARE. WE THEN PROCEEDED TO THE BUICK DEALER AND HAD THE TIRE AND WHEEL INSPECTED AND REPAIRED. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD US THE THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR HAD COME OFF THE VALVE STEM CAUSING THE STEM TO COME OUT WHICH IN TURN CAUSED THE RAPID TIRE DEFLATION. THIS EVENT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES OR DEATH. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY VALVE STEM TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ISSUES LIKE THIS HAPPENING BEFORE. HOWEVER, IN MY RESEARCH SOME CHRYSLER MODELS APPEAR TO HAVE A NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS.

THE SUB FRAME BUSHING IS COMPLETELY ROTTED. DAY IT WAS SOLD TO ME PASSED INSPECTION BUT ON CAR FAX IT FAILED SAFETY INSPECTION? IT CRACKS AND CREAKS WHEN TURNING LEFT.
