BUICK Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BUICK TERRAZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED SEVEN TIMES. THE DOORS OPEN ERRATICALLY AND WILL OPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS LOCKED. THEY WILL ALSO COME OPEN WHILE SHE IS DRIVING. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED MOTORS, SENSORS AND OTHER ITEMS AND THE FAILURE IS STILL PRESENT. THIS FAILURE IS PRESENT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE CONTACT DRIVES HER GRAND CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE DOORS OPENING WHEN THE CHILDREN ARE IN THE VEHICLE. THE OWNER WANTS GM TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK, BUT THEY WILL NOT. THEY OFFERED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE DOORS BUT THE CONTACT STATED THE WARRANTY IS NO GOOD IF THE DOORS DO NOT WORK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,800. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 BUICK LESABRE. WHILE TRAVELING 15 MPH THE CONTACT NOTICED A LOUD THUMP NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END, SECONDS LATER THE VEHICLE LOST ALL STEERING POWER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED AND THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 120000.

DRIVING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE AND HAD BLOWOUT DUE TO SPLITTING OF GOODYEAR EAGLE LS 2 TIRE WITH ONLY 28000 MILES. TIRES PURCHASED ON NEW 2007 BUICK LACROSSE WITH 0 MILES. COULD HAVE CAUSED WRECK AND POSSIBLY DEATH. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON 9-6-20210 SAME SITUATION ON A SECOND TIRE. GOODYEAR WOULD NOT REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES EVEN THOUGH 2 BLEW OUT DUE TO SPLITTING OF TIRE. GOODYEAR ONLY PRO RATED THE TWO THAT WERE BLOWN AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL OTHERS BLOW. THIS IS TOO DANGEROUS AND GOODYEAR NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE. IF THE OTHERS BLOW AND THERE IS WRECK OR INJURY THERE WILL BE A LAWSUIT AND WANT IT NOTED THAT I HAVE REPORTED AND TRIED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT BAD TIRES. ONLY HAVE THE DOT # FOR THE SECOND TIRE ONLY BECAUSE GOODYEAR DEALER KEPT THE FIRST BLOWN OUT TIRE. I HAVE NOT LET THEM HAVE THE SECOND TIRE YET. I AM TRYING TO WORK WITH GM TO GET SOME HELP WITH GETTING ALL TIRES REPLACED. GM FIRST TOLD ME TO GO TO GOODYEAR BUT NOW WITH THE SECOND TIRE A MONTH LATER I AM REALLY CONCERNED FOR MY AND OTHERS SAFETY. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER AND GM DECIDED TO REPLACE THE REMAINING THREE TIRES AS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION GESTURE. UPDATED IVOQ 10/13/10*JB *TR

THE AUTOMATIC DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE PROPERLY AND AT TIMES JUST OPEN UP. IF I AM ABLE TO CLOSE THE DOORS, THE DOOR ALARM CONTINUES TO SOUND AND WILL DO SO FOR SEVERAL HOURS. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS FIXED SEVERAL TIMES. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND IT HAS LESS THAN 30000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE AND NO ONE WILL STAND BEHIND THE VEHICLE. *TR
