BUICK Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WERE INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO ENGAGE THE HIGH BEAMS FOR SUBSTANTIAL ILLUMINATION WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,800 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE FUEL SENSOR GAUGE DOES NOT ACCURATELY DEPICT HOW MUCH GASOLINE IS IN THE TANK. WHEN I FILL UP THE TANK IT REMAINS ON "E" AND THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON. THE GAUGE WILL FLUCTUATE UP AND DOWN AND NEVER GO ALL THE WAY TO "F". I AM VERY UPSET THAT THIS PROBLEM IS SO PREVALENT YET GM WILL ONLY COVER 50% OF THE EXPENSES. IT IS UNSAFE TO NOT KNOW THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN ONE'S VEHICLE. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER DOOR SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED INADVERTENTLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE DRIVER WAS INJURED AS A RESULT.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130,000. UPDATED 12/06/11*LJ UPDATED 12/12/11

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2012 BUICK LACROSSE WITH EASIEST. I HAD IT LESS THAN 48 HOURS AND HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER DUE TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. THEY STATED THE GENERATOR WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED REPLACED AND THERE WERE 7 CODES THAT SHOWED UP. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK THEY WERE FINALLY ABLE TO HAVE ONE SHIPPED FROM THE ASSEMBLY PLANT. IT WAS INSTALLED ON 10/21/11 AT WHICH TIME I WENT TO PICK IT UP. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN. THEY TESTED IT AND 5 CODES CAME UP WHICH THEY SAID ARE RELATED TO THE GENERATOR OR EASIEST SYSTEM. THE CAR IS STILL THERE SO THEY WILL BE TRYING AGAIN TO FIND OUT THE ISSUE. THERE ARE SEVERAL TSB'S OUT THERE FOR THIS ISSUE. HOPEFULLY THIS CAN BE RESOLVED BEFORE I GO THE LEMON LAW ROUTE. *TR
