BUICK Complaints

HEAD REST IS ANGLED TOO FAR FORWARD - THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE ANGLE (ONLY UP AND DOWN HEIGHT). THIS CREATES NECK PAIN, BACK PAIN, ETC. THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST WHERE MY HEAD IS NOT FORCED INTO MY CHIN IF I FULLY REST MY SHOULDERS ON THE SEAT. I FEAR A SEVERE NECK INJURY IF EVER IN A CRASH IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

OVER THE PAST YEAR I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING BUICK AND DELPHI ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM IN MY 2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. I RECENTLY SLIGHTLY PASSED OUT AND CRASHED IN THE CAR DUE TO BEING OVERCOME BY THE INTENSIVE RAW GAS FUMES. I RECENTLY CONTACTED BOTH AGAIN AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN VEHICLES BUT MY VEHICLES VIN # IS NOT ONE IDENTIFIED IN THE RECALL. I CHECKED TO SEE IF MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WAS ON FILE AND IT WAS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. I AM MAKING THIS COMPLAINT SO BEFORE HAND SO THAT ANYONE ELSE WITH THIS ISSUE CAN TAKE IT SERIOUS AND TAKE ACTION RIGHT AWAY BEFORE THEY START DISPLAYING HEALTH RELATED ISSUES LIKE ME AND MY FAMILY.

2011 BUICK ENCLAVE. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE AIR BAG *TGW THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FIVE TIMES FOR THE SAME AIR BAG PROBLEM.

VEHICLE HIT A STATIONARY OBJECT, TELEPHONE POLE, IN THE CENTER OF THE FRONT BUMPER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE ISSUE ARE THE AIR BAGS OF WHICH NONE ACTIVATED. VEHICLE HAD A HISTORY OF AIR BAG RECALL AND WARNING LIGHTS REPAIR. VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER ON 1/18/11 FOR THE RECALL AT 42,968 MILES. PREVIOUS REPAIRS WERE AT THE DEALER AND NOT FROM THE RECALL. MY CONCERN IS THERE ARE ADDITIONAL AIR BAG RECALLED VEHICLES ON THE ROAD, WHICH THE OWNER FELT THE RECALL SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THEY MAY HAVE AN ISSUE IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AS THE REPAIRS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM ON MY CAR. *TR
