LOSS OF LIGHTING ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND REAL TAIL LIGHTS. DURING VEHICLE START IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS NOT RECEIVING ELECTRICAL POWER. THE FUSE BOX WAS INSPECTED AND THE 15 AMP FUSE WAS BLOWN. IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT RESULTED IN REPETITIVE BLOWN FUSES. *TR

A FUEL LEAK OCCURRED WHILE IDLING WITH THE GAS RUNNING BACK TOWARD AND UNDER THE DRIVER NEAR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE / WIFE. THE BUICK MECHANIC FOUND NO O RING IN THE UNIT. IT WAS NOT LISTED AS A GM / BUICK RECALL AND THEY REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE COST. AN INTERNET CHECK FOUND IT TO BE A NHTSA RECALL (07E021000.) AS AN "AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT BY MADE BY DELPHI." IN CALLING DELPHI AT 877-411-8770, THEY DENIED RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY TO REPLACE IT. WHEN QUESTIONED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE NOTED HE GETS "5 OR 6 CALL DAY ABOUT THIS DEFECTIVE PART." *TR

ANOTHER VERY COMMON DEFECT WITH MULTIPLE YEAR BUICKS BESIDES THE WINDOW REGULATORS THAT BUICK REFUSES TO ADMIT FAULT AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THEM. THIS IS ABOUT THE DASH COVERING PULLING AWAY FROM THE WINDSHIELD AND LIKELY CAUSE AIR BAG TO DISCHARGE AND SOON WILL OBSTRUCT VISION THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. BOTH OF THESE ITEMS ARE VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR AND GN/BUICK HAS OFFERED NOTHING AS FAR AS I KNOW TO ANYONE. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER ONE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE POWER STEERING HOSE AT 60,000 AND AN AXLE AT 90,000 AND A TIE ROD AT 50,000. AND THEY WONDER WHY SALES FROM JAPAN ARE BOOMING?? *TR

BRAKING SYSTEM CAME ON DURING DRY CONDITIONS WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES. THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES WITHIN THE SAME MONTH. CAR VEERED TO THE RIGHT TWICE AND THE NEXT TIME THE FRONT OF THE CAR NOSE-DIVED. SUSPECT THAT THE STABILITY CONTROL IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. NO CODES SHOW UP UNDER DIAGNOSTICS AT THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP CANNOT DO ANYTHING ELSE AT THIS TIME. AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE CONDITIONS. *TR
