BUICK Complaints

TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT. ALSO FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR , THE POWER STEERING HAS MADE A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE AND THE DEALER SAID IT COULDN'T BE FIXED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BUICK LUCERNE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH REAR DOORS HAD BECOME INOPERABLE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REACH THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE LOCKING MECHANISM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE DASH BOARD COVER IS SEPARATING OR "CRUMPLED" I AM CONCERNED THIS CAN CAUSE THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY IF IT SEPARATES TOO FAR. THE DEALER SAYS THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER BUICK LESABRES DOING THE SAME THING. HOW CAN THIS ISSUE BE CONDONED BY GM. *TR

A TERRIBLE SCREECHING NOISE LED ME TO BRING MY CAR TO THE BUICK DEALER FOR REPAIR.... THEY REPLACED THE STEERING GEAR, THE STEERING PUMP, FLUID, ETC. WITH A COST TO ME OF 1409.99. HAD I NOT HEARD THE NOISE, I WOULD HAVE LOST STEERING...... THE CAR WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY.... FAR TOO EARLY FOR THIS TO HAVE HAPPENED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE FUEL TANK LEAKAGE ON THE SIDE OF THE FUEL TANK, WHEN TANK IS FILLED UP TO 3/4 OF TANK OR IS FILLED TO FULL TANK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 BUICK LESABRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAD BEGUN SEPARATING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE HEAT AND TEMPERATURE CHANGES, WHICH DETERIORATED THE MATERIAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIR AND THE DEALER OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,000. UPDATED 10/10/12 *CN UPDATED 10/11/2012 *JS

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT HOLD AT ALL - WILL MOVE FORWARD WHILE IN REVERSE AT THE SLIGHTEST INCLINE - ALSO DOES NOT SHIFT DOWN TO PASS OTHER VEHICLES - VERY SLOPPY SLUGGISH TRANSMISSION. *TR

UNABLE TO OPEN REAR PASSENGER DOOR. TRIED FROM BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, TRIED MANUALLY UNLOCKING AND USING REMOTE TO UNLOCK. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. AFRAID TO USE BACK SEAT NOW IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG. ABOUT 20MPH. STARTED TO GO OVER SOME REALLY BAD RAILROAD TRACKS. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. I DIDN'T RUN INTO ANYTHING. AND NOTHING HIT ME. IT WAS JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN. BECAUSE OF THE POSITION MY ARM WAS ON THE STEERING WHEEL I HAD INITIALLY THOUGHT THAT IT SNAPPED MY ARM IN TWO. HOWEVER. IT ISN'T BROKEN. BUT I DO HAVE VERY MINOR BURNS FROM THE CHEMICAL FROM THE AIRBAG. I CONTACTED BUICKS MAIN CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE BUT THEY ACT LIKE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 BUICK LESABRE LIMITED THAT THE DASH PAD HAS STARTED RAISING UP BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND WINDSHIELD. BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION FOUND ON THE INTERNET CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM, THIS COULD BE A ISSUE OF SAFETY. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR
