BUICK Complaints

NO ACTUAL EVENT BUT THE ROOF LEAKS IN THE SUNROOF AREA AND DOWN THE SIDES WHERE SPEAKERS ARE WATER LEAKS FROM THE VISOR AND APPEAR TO BE IN THE LIGHT FIXTURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWO SEPERATE TIMES AND ISSUE STILL ISN'T RESOLVED. THEY CLAIM THAT THE PORT HOLES WERE POSSIBLY CLOGGED ETC.. *TT

VEHICLE SURGES AND STALLS RANDOMLY WHILE TRAVELING. OCCURS ATLEAST TWICE DAILY. *TR

FUEL GAUGE READING INACCURATE. WITH A FULL TANK WHEN STARTING AND FUEL LEVEL GAUGE SLOWING SHOWING EMPTY KNOWING I HAVE JUST FILLED THE TANK. THE LEVEL FLUCTUATES UP AND DOWN CREATING FRUSTRATION AND ANXIETY. MY WIFE IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BROUGHT MUCH APPREHENSION WHILE DRIVING THINKING THERE IS A LEAK IN THE SYSTEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK LUCERNE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S HEADREST WAS NOT DESIGNED PROPERLY AND REMAINED TILTED FORWARD WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING TENSION IN THE NECK AREA. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

2011 BUICK ENCLAVE ROLLS UNABATED ON HILLS WHILE IN GEAR - DRIVE OR REVERSE. VERY HARD TO CONTROL. REQUIRES VERY QUICK MOVE FROM BRAKE TO ACCELERATOR AND "2-FOOT" DRIVING WHICH IS DANGEROUS AND WEARS BRAKES AND TRANSMISSION. THERE IS NO "HILL HOLD" FEATURE AND DRIVETRAIN PROVIDES NO RESISTANCE. *TR

POWER STEERING! ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING LOCKING UP WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS THE WORST WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT, HOWEVER WHEN DRIVING AROUND A CORNER AT NORMAL SPEEDS IT IS VERY HARD TO HANDLE AND CHANGING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY WAS ALSO AN ISSUE. YOU CAN HEAR A ROARING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. *TR

NO BRAKES, BRAKE LINE RUSTED AND BURST, DUE TO IT BEING UNDER FIRE WALL, ACCORDING TO THE MECHNAIC THE FIRE WALL GETS WET AND THIS CAUSES RUST TO SET IN. THE BRAKE LINE WAS NOT VISIBLE TO MECHANIC TO DO AN INSPECTION DURING REGULAR SAFETY CHECKS. SINCE THE LINE WAS NOT VISIBLE THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL IF IT IS VIABLE. THANKFULLY WE FELT THE BRAKES GO SOFT AND STOPPED SAFELY. THIS IS A POOR DESIGN, AND AM NOT SURE HOW MANY MORE CARS ARE DESIGNED IN A SIMILAR MANNER.

IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR MY 2003 BUICK CENTURY BEGAN WITH PANEL LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF AT VARIOUS TIMES MAKING THE GAUGES AND SPEEDOMETER IMPOSSIBLE TO READ. VERY EXPENSIVE ESTIMATE TO FIX. THEN IN FEBRUARY WAS DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO SHOP AND THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO DO IT. AFTER THIRD TIME HAD IT REPAIRED. TOOK WHOLE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO GET SENSOR $500. IN MARCH DRIVER SIDE WINDOW BEGAN GOING UP AND DOWN BY ITSELF. TOOK IT TO SHOP AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. THE CAR ONLY DOES IT WHEN THE PANEL LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF. BAD VIBRATION IN THE CAR AROUND JUNE. HAD ALL FOUR TIRES REPLACED AND NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS. ON AUGUST 4, 2011 VIBRATION STARTED AGAIN, THEN STARTED A POPPING NOISE IN THE FRONT END WHEN STARTING AND STOPPING. CAR VIBRATES SO BAD YOU CAN NOT HOLD STEERING WHEEL AT 45-50MPH. THIS POP AND VIBRATION IS NOW COMING FROM FRONT RIGHT SIDE. NOT SURE WHAT IT IS YET. *TR

THE 2011 BUICK LACROSSE WITH A 3.6 HAD POPPING SOUND UPON STARTING WHEN CAR WAS 5 DAYS OLD; BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS ASKED IF I WAS SURE IT WAS MY CAR. THEY CHECKED VEHICLE AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. IT POPPED UPON STARTING 8-9 MORE TIMES IN 3 WEEKS. UPON LEAVING A RESTAURANT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START & HAD NO POWER; ONSTAR WAS OF NO USE. DEALER HAD CAR TOWED TO THEM; KEPT CAR FOR 10 DAYS AND PUT 160 MILES ON IT AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY REPROGRAMMED 3 COMPUTERS BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE POPPING SOUND. I PICKED UP MY CAR AND DISCOVERED THAT IT HAD BEEN HIT WHILE AT DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP HAD CAR PAINTED. I GOT MY CAR ON TUESDAY, THURSDAY IT POPPED TWICE. RETURNED CAR TO DEALER AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME TO PICK CAR UP THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THEY FOUND THAT THE EXHAUST EXPANDED UPON STARTING AND MADE A POOFING SOUND. THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH BUICK EXECUTIVE OFFICES. THE CAR HAS 1087 MILES ON IT. IT HAD 287 WHEN I PURCHASED IT AND THEY PUT 160 MILES ON IT WHEN THEY HAD IT. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR 6 WEEKS AND 2 OF THOSE WEEKS IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP. THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME ANOTHER VEHICLE LIKE THE ONE I HAVE OR GIVE MY MONEY BACK. WHAT OPTIONS ARE LEFT?? LEMON LAW. I DON'T REALLY WANT TO DO THAT. I LOVE THE RIDE OF THE CAR AND THE FEATURES, BUT I CANNOT ENJOY IT AT ALL AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. *TR

DASH PAD SEPARATING TO POINT WHERE VISION COULD BE AFFECTED AND POSSIBLE DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAG AFFECTED. *TR
