BUICK Complaints

WAS DRIVEING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 AND WENT TO TURN ON MY TURN SIGNAL AND MY ENGINE STOPED. I NEARLY CRASHED THE CAR. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR AND EVERYTIME I USED THE BLINKERS THE CAR WOULD EITHER TURN OFF RESTARTS THE COMPUTER LIKE I JUST STARTED THE CAR. THE ABS LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON NOW AND THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WONT COME ON. I HAD A FRIEND DRIVE 3 HOURS TO COME AND TOW MY CAR. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK BECAUSE OF THIS. SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. *TR

HAD SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON PERIODICALLY AND WAS LOOSING COOLANT, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY LEAKS, WAS TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY FAULTY LIGHT, OR LEAK IN TANK. TOOK CAR FOR OIL CHANGE AND ASK TO LOOK FOR ANY LEAKS, FOUND COOLANT IN OIL. INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. WAS TOLD DUE TO COOLANT BEING DEXCOOL AND EATS THE GASKETS. *TR

THE STEERING IS BECOMING VERY STIFF. CHECKED POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT'S OK. IS THERE A HISTORY OF THIS? HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY RECALL NOTICE OR SERVICE BULLETINS. STEERING COLUMN SEEMS TO BE TOO LOOSE AND RATTLES. *TT

THERE IS A CONTINUOUSLY GROWING DASHBOARD BUBBLE (ON TOP) ON THE DRIVER SIDE BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE WINDSHIELD AS A RESULT OF DASHBOARD COVER SEPARATION DUE TO CLIP(S) FAILURE - IT HAS BEEN SPREADING ACROSS THE DASH TO THE PASSENGER SIDE, AND NOW THERE IS CONCERN ABOUT POTENTIAL PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ISSUES. *TR

2004 BUICK RAINIER- INSTRUMENT PANEL - SPEEDOMETER, TEMPERATURE, FUEL AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGES ALL STARTED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AND PROVIDING FALSE READINGS (120MPH AT DEAD STOP WITH ENGINE OFF, TEMP IN RED ZONE AT START UP).
