BUICK Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 BUICK RAINIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND ABOVE, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD FAIL ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY ADVISED HER THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE FIRST PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED WAS THE ENGINE OVERHEATED AND THE WATER PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. CAR WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH 20,140 MILES ON IT. SINCE THEN THE MAIN PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN WITH THE SUNROOF LEAKING. THIS CAUSED THE BLOWER MOTOR TO FAIL. THE WATER LEAKS HAVE HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES. THE DRAINS KEEP CLOGGING. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. NOT ACCEPTABLE! THEY TOLD ME NOT TO PARK UNDER TREES. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I'VE HAD SUNROOFS BEFORE AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. THE RECALL FOR THE DRAIN EXTENSIONS DID NOTHING. EVENTUALLY THERE WILL BE OTHER PROBLEMS. WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE IS GETTING WET WHERE I CAN'T SEE IT. MOLD IS INEVITABLE. I HAVE 3 KIDS AND THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I DIDN'T SPEND ALL THIS MONEY FOR A PIECE OF JUNK! I WILL NEVER BUY GM AGAIN IF THEY DON'T DO SOMETHING. *KB
