BUICK Complaints

BOTH SETS OF KEYLESS ENTRY FAILED ON THE UNLOCK OPERATION. ONE SET WAS USED AND FAILED IN 2 YEARS, THE OTHER SET WAS THEN USED AND FAILED IN TWO YEARS. MUST HAVE SOMETHING WRONG IN THE MAKEUP OF THESE KEYLESS TRANSMITTER. EVERYTHING WORKS EXCEPT THE UNLOCK. REPLACEMENT QUOTED AT $345. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 BUICK PARK AVENUE. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 50-60 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BOUNCES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MOUNT FAILED. THE FAILURE WAS REPAIRED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,521.

I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS DIMMING WHILE DRIVING SINCE THE BEGINNING, THE DEALERSHIP HAS SEVERAL TIMES WORKED ON THE PROBLEM, WHICH I THINK HAS CLEARED UP..SO FAR. NOW MY SPEEDOMETER HAS STARTED MESSING UP, IT SAYS I AM GOING 50 WHILE PARKED AND 120 WHILE DRIVING. I ONLY DRIVE SHORT DISTANCES AND MOSTLY INTO AND BACK FROM TOWN 6 MILE ONE WAY. I HAVE 50,969 MILES ON MY 2004 VEHICLE, I KEEP ITS CHECKUPS AND OIL CHANGES REGULARLY: DEALERSHIP HAS RECORDS. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES FROM DAY ONE, I SEE TURN SIGNAL AND BRAKELIGHT ISSUES IN RECALL SO I DON'T BELIEVE I AM WRONG ABOUT THIS. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME OVER $400 TO CHANGE THE "CLUSTER" AS THE ECONOMY GOES, I TOO CANNOT AFFORD THIS KIND OF CHARGES ON AN ITEM THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE ISSUES. ESPECIALLY WHEN I TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT AND REALLY HAS LOW MILEAGE AND WEAR AND TEAR (PERFECT CONDITION). *TR

2000 CENTURY LIMITED.....20,340 MILE BOUGHT NEW. NOISE FROM THE ENGINE (LIFTERS) IS GETTING LOUDER AND THE FRONT END IS POUNDING. I SEE THAT THE TIE RODS ARE BAD, THE RACK IS SLOPPY THE BRAKES AND ROTORS HAVE FAILED DUE TO CHINESE MATERIALS. THE CAR IS GARAGED, MAINTAINED AND TAKEN CARE OF. THE HYDRAULIC BRAKES LINE HAVE FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. PRESENTLY OWNING 12 GM CARS RIGHT NOW,THIS CAR IS FALLING APART. IT HAS THE V-6 ENGINE THAT HAS GOTTEN 35 MPG ON A TRIP (IF IT MAKES IT). *TR

NHTSA# 618086. BUICK TSB # 01-02-32-001 THIRD REPLACEMENT OF SHAFT SINCE PURCHASED NEW IN 02/2006. VEHICLE HAS 19,635 MILES 7,048 MILES 1ST REPLACEMENT, 14,600 2ND REPLACEMENT, 19,635 3RD REPLACEMENT (02/10/2009). PARTS KEPT BY DEALER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND CAME TO A RED LIGHT. UPON PRESSING MY BRAKES, IT MADE A LOUD CRUNCHING/GRINDING NOISE AND THE CAR STARTED SKIDDING AS IF I WAS DRIVING ON ICE, BUT THERE WAS NO ICE ON THE GROUND. MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON. I ASSUMED IT WAS THE BRAKES THAT NEEDED CHANGING. TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND PUT NEW BRAKES ON THE CAR. ABS LIGHT STILL COMES ON AND IT IS NOT STOPPING CORRECTLY. I HAVE TRIED RESETTING THE BATTERY, AS SUGGESTED ON THE BUICK WEBSITE. THAT DIDN'T HELP THE SITUATION. LIGHT STILL IS ON, AND CAR IS NOT STOPPING CORRECTLY. *TR

WE OWN A 2008 BUICK ENCLAVE THAT HAS FAILED TO START THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 4 DAYS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NO PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR WITH OUR TWO YOUR CHILDREN AND WE CAN'T AFFORD FOR THEM TO CONTINUE TO BE STRANDED. DEALER SAID THEY FIXED ISSUE WITH SOFTWARE UPDATE. APPARENTLY NOT AS IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN TONIGHT. *TR

AT 54,000 MILES AND ONLY 2 WEEKS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE THE HEAD GASKET HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER ONLY 80,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THE BLOWER FOR THE HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONER ONLY WORKS ON THREE OR ABOVE, THE AIR CONDITIONING NO LONGER WORKS, BOTH REAR COIL SPRINGS MUST BE REPLACED, AN OUTER TIEROD IS BAD, TWO REAR BUSHINGS NEED TO BE REPLACED, THE FRONT RIGHT CONTROL ARM IS BROKEN, THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW GOES DOWN BUT NOT UP, IT IS LEAKING ANTIFREEZE AND THE TIRES KEEP GOING BAD BECAUSE THEY ARE WEARING INCORRECTLY. THIS CAR IS A TOTAL PIECE OF GARBAGE. EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND IT NEEDS ANOTHER REPAIR. THE COST OF THE REPAIRS IS ALMOST AS MUCH AS I HAVE PAID ON THE VEHICLE SO FAR. *TR

CHANGED BATTERY IN 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. NOW CLUSTER IS BROKE. ODOMETER DISPLAYS ERROR (NO MILEAGE). COST TO REPAIR IS >$800. CHANGING BATTERY SHOULD NOT RESULT IN THIS REPAIR. NEED REPAIRED TO GET PLATES AND INSURANCE. *TR

I PURCHASED AN 08 BUICK LUCERNE IN SEPT. OF 08. MY CONCERN DEALS WITH THE ACCELERATOR. THIS MODEL I AM TOLD HAS AN ALL ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED ACCELERATOR. I FIND IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO HOLD AN EVEN SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY AS IT IS CONSTANTLY EITHER SPEEDING UP OR SLOWING DOWN, AND I HAVE NO PERCEPTION OF EVER MOVING THE PEDAL. AT STOP SIGNS/LIGHTS IT WILL SOMETIMES LEAP OUT WITH A "JACK RABBIT" START WHICH WAS TOTALLY UNPLANNED FOR. THIS I FEEL IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE PLUS I ALSO THINK IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THE POOR MILEAGE I AM EXPERIENCING. I AM ONLY GETTING 15-23 MPG WHICH IS FAR FROM THE 23-29 I GOT ON MY 05 LASABRE WITH THE SAME ENGINE. I HAVE HAD IT TO TWO DEALERSHIPS AND THEY BASICALLY TELL ME THIS IS ALL ELECTRONIC AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FIND THIS ANSWER UNACCEPTABLE AND HOPE THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY HELP. THANK YOU *TR
