BUICK Complaints

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 HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A SET OF UNIROYAL TIRES THAT I PURCHASED 2 YEARS AGO, WITHIN 11,000 MILES THE FIRST SEPARATED, AT 22,763 THE SECOND TIRE SEPARATED, AT 30,875 THE THIRD TIRED SEPARATED. THESE TIRES SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED, WHO KNOWS HOW MANY MORE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE THAT ARE BEING USED BY UNKNOWING DRIVERS. *TR

TRIED TO GET VEHICLE ALIGNMENT. WAS TOLD BY ALIGNMENT COMPANY THAT THEY COULDN'T DO THE ALIGNMENT BECAUSE THE FRONT HUB BEARINGS WERE LOOSE AND COST TO REPLACE WAS $879.69. ONE WEEK AGO, HAD TO HAVE UPPER STRUT BEARINGS REPLACED BECAUSE OF CRUNCHING NOISE WHENEVER STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED 90 DEGREES EITHER DIRECTION. COST WAS $459.00 18 MONTHS AGO HAD OIL LEAK CAUSED BY LEAKING CONNECTOR BETWEEN TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER. COST $200.00. THIS OCCURRED 250 MILES AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

VEHICLE EXHIBITED HARD TRANSMISSION SHIFTS AND JERKING WHILE SHIFTING IN TRAFFIC. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSED WITH CODE P1811, WHICH INDICATES HIGH TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE AND SOLENOID PROBLEMS. *TR

ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK MY ENCLAVE CONTINUES TO ROLL ANOTHER 5-7 FEET AFTER BEING PUT IN PARK AND THE KEY REMOVED. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS UNLOADING GROCERIES FROM THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR. THE VEHICLE MOVED FORWARD AND RAN OVER MY FOOT. *TR I HAVE A 100,000 ZERO DEDUCTIBLE WARRANTY, AS WELL AS GM'S POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, BUT STILL ZUBOR BUICK IN TAYLOR MI WANTED TO CHARGE BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. SINCE MY INJURY, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER TODAY, RED HOLMAN IN WESTLAND. THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM EITHER. IT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE RECALL WITH THE 2009 ENCLAVE NHTSA CAMPAIGN #09V073000 (ON SOME OF THESE VEHICLES, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE ADJUSTMENT CLIP MAY NOT BE FULLY ENGAGED. IF THE CLIP IS NOT FULLY ENGAGED, THE SHIFT LEVER AND THE ACTUAL POSITION OF THE TRANSMISSION GEAR MAY NOT MATCH. WITH THIS CONDITION, THE DRIVE COULD MOVE THE SHIFTER TO "PARK" AND REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY, BUT THE TRANSMISSION GEAR MAY NOT BE IN "PARK".)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING AT A LOW SPEED, SHE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING FLUID. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND EXAMINED THE FLUID. THE CONTACT THEN NOTICED THAT THE FLUID WAS FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A FUEL LINE WAS LEAKING DUE TO CORROSION. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CORROSION OCCURRED NEAR PLASTIC CLIPS THAT WERE PART OF THE FUEL LINES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000.

MY PARENTS PURCHASED A 2001 BUICK LESABRE FROM THE DEALERSHIP NEW. BOTH PARENTS (FATHER NOW DECEASED) RETIRED AND MOVED TO FLORIDA IN 2001, AND VERY RARELY DROVE THE VEHICLE. MY FATHER PASSED AWAY IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR (2012) AND MY MOTHER ASKED ME IF I WANTED THE CAR. I DROVE TO FLORIDA TO PICK UP THE CAR AND NOTICED THE DASH PANEL WAS ALL BUCKLED AND LOOKED HORRIBLE. I ASKED MY MOTHER WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS DUE TO THE SOUTH FLORIDA HEAT, BUT MY MOTHER SAID IT STARTED IN 2006 AND THEY HAD BROUGHT IT BACK TO DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AND WOULD COST OVER $1000 TO REPAIR. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE FOR REPLACEMENT DASH PANELS I DISCOVERED THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN FOR SOMETIME, FLORIDA HEAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND WILL CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY CAUSING INJURY. *TR

THE SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM LIGHT IS ON, AND THE TRACTION OFF LIGHT IS ON, AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE LIGHT IS ALSO ON. I WAS BACKING UP IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS OCCURRED, AND NOW THE LIGHTS ALL COME ON AS SOON AS I START THE CAR. *TR

POWER STEERING UNIT SPRUNG A LEAK FROM THE CASING WHERE A HOLE WAS OBSERVED. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING UNIT JUST 3,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

THE DASH PAD UNDER THE WINDSHIELD IS STARTING TO BUCKLE AND SEPARATE FROM THE METAL CLAMPS. THIS SEPARATION IS CONTINUALLY GROWING AND MOVING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE DASH PANEL TO THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG IS LOCATED. WITH THIS MOVEMENT AND CHANGE I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT OR THE AIR BAG MAY INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY CAUSING INJURY TO THE PASSENGER, NOT TO MENTION HOW THE DRIVER MAY REACT SHOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY. GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO FIX THIS TO INSURE NOBODY IS INJURED IF THAT HASN'T ALREADY HAPPENED. *TR
