BUICK Complaints

2001 BUICK LASABRE DASH IS PEELING UP BETWEEN STEERING WHEEL AND WINDSHIELD. STARTED PEELING UP WITHIN A FEW YEARS OF CAR BEING MANUFACTURER'S. PER LOCAL DEALERSHIP, BUICK WILL NOT COVER EXPENSE TO REPAIR. THIS HAS BECOME A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU CAN BARELY SEE OVER THE DASH AS IT IS STICKING UP SO HIGH AND I HAVE CONCERNS THAT THE AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AS THE DASH CONTINUES TO PEEL ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE DASH. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED IF BUICK DOES NOT FIX THIS FACTORY DEFECT. BUICK SHOULD ISSUE A NATIONAL RECALL TO REPAIR A DEFECTIVE DASH. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE BEGAN READING EMPTY WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY FULL. WHEN THE TANK WAS INITIALLY FILLED THE GAUGE READ FULL, THEN GO DOWN GRADUALLY WHILE DRIVING UNTIL THE GAUGE READ EMPTY. WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ALSO LIGHT UNTIL THE TANK WOULD BE AT APPROXIMATELY 3/4. AT 3/4 FULL THE GAUGE WOULD THEN READ CORRECTLY AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY AND ONLY READS EMPTY NOW.

1995 BUICK CENTURY. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH LEAKING GAS LINE. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED A LEAK DEVELOPED IN THE GAS LINE BELOW HIS FEET, SATURATING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE FUEL LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER INSPECTED THE OLD PART AND DISCOVERED A SMALL HOLE ON THE UPPER SIDE OF THE RETURN GAS LINE AT THE POINT WHERE THE PROTECTIVE SHEATH ENDED AND THE LINE HAD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE SHARP CORNER OF THE REAR ENGINE/TRANSMISSION SUPPORT MOUNT. *JB

DASHBOARD PIECE BUCKLING UP FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE TO THE PASSENGER'S SIDE ON MY 200 BUICK LE SABRE CUSTOM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 BUICK LESABRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,940.

BRAKES HAVE FAILED SEVEN TIMES AT LOW VEHICLE SPEED. INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, DEALER COULD FIND NO CAUSE. BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKING. PUMPING BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES CAUSES BRAKES TO START WORKING AGAIN. HAS HAPPENED WITH TWO DIFFERENT DRIVERS. *TR

MY 2003 BUICK RENDEZVOUS HAS A ABS PROBLEM WHERE IT ENGAGES COMPLETELY ON ITS OWN WHENEVER THE OUTSIDE TEMP IS MORE THAN 50 DEGREES. WHILE DRIVING, I HEAR A HUMMING NOISE AT VARIOUS TIME DURING MY DRIVE AND WHEN I PUSH THE BRAKES THE ABS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED AND THE PETAL PULSES AND A GRINDING NOISE IS HEARD. ALTHOUGH, THE ABS LIGHT DOES NOT LIGHT UP ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS IS CONSTANT THROUGHOUT THE MONTHS OF MAY THROUGH OCTOBER SINCE THE TEMP IS ABOVE 50 DEGREES DURING THE DAY. I HAVE HAD BOTH FRONT HUB ASSEMBLIES AND WIRE HARNESS REPLACED WITH NO AVAIL. THEN, DURING THE WINTER MONTHS, THE AWD SYSTEM DISABLES ANYTIME I HAVE TIRE(S) SPINNING. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND NOT ONE SEEM TO HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT CAN BE WRONG. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE FINDING AN ALARMING AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM CONCERNING THEIR RENDEZVOUS, BUT NO SOLUTION. *TR

VEHICLE HAS 150,000 MILES. SUDDENLY THE CAR HAS DIFFICULTY MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS. NOW WHEN TURNING LEFT THE POWER ASSIST FAILS, AND IT FEELS AS IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED UP, BUT YOU CAN FORCE THE WHEEL FURTHER LEFT IF YOU TRY, BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO DO. IF YOU AREN'T PREPARED FOR IT YOU COULD EASILY GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. BUT SOMETIME AS YOU FORCE THE WHEEL LEFT, THE RESISTANCE WILL SUDDENLY DISAPPEAR AND THE CAR WILL JERK TO THE LEFT. TURNING RIGHT IMMEDIATELY RETURNS NORMAL POWER ASSIST, UNTIL A LEFT TURN IS ATTEMPTED. NO FLUID IS LEAKING. *TR

EVERY TIME I TURN IT SOUNDS LIKE THE POWER STEERING IS GOING TO GO OUT. THE STEERING IS FINE BUT THE NOISE IS VERY LOUD. ALOT OF RESEARCH INDICATED THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ALONG WITH THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES AS I DO. *TR

ANTI LOCK BRAKES KICKING IN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS FOR NO REASON, THEN ANTI LOCK LIGHT AND AWD DISABLED LIGHT CAME ON. IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF RESEARCH AND READING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. IM IN FEAR MY BRAKES WILL GO OUT LIKE ANOTHER RENDEZVOUS OWNER I HAVE READ ABOUT. *TR
