Buick Reviews

Frustrated and disappointed owner of a 2010 Buick Enclave CXL with 86,000.00 miles. I cannot begin to describe how awful my experience with Buick and this Enclave has been. I've owned this vehicle for 3 years bought it used at 30,000 miles with full maintenance records including tune ups and oil changes. Since I've had the vehicle I have experienced the following: I have been left stranded on the freeway 4 times with 3 small children ranging from ages 3 months of age to 5 years of age with the same recurring issue Reduced engine power. I kid you not, the vehicle begins to fail locks up and then shuts off.

I drove to the grocery store this morning. All of 2 miles. Then to the drug store. Total round trip, 4 miles. I came home, put the car in the garage. I had to go into the garage to put something away and the fan was running from the engine. I thought that was strange as the car wasn't even hot. It shut off so I thought it was ok. About 5 minutes later, I went back into the garage and once again the fan started again! I opened the car door and my inside fan was blowing at high speed. I came in the house, got my car keys and locked the car. Now it isn't turning on. It concerns me as I know most cars a fan will run after you have turned it off but never have I seen a car's fan turn back on. Anyone have this issue?

I went to service my car for the ABS. They ran a diagnostic and told me it was my left front hub. The mechanic never checked it. I took it to a mechanic and ordered the front left part. Buick wanted to charge 400, my mechanic charged 280. They installed the part, but ABS was still on. I took it back and they checked my car and found out that it was the left rear hub that was completely damaged. I showed them the estimate from Buick and they told me to go there and ask for a reimbursement for a false diagnostic. They started throwing out words like speculate and can't confirm. I spoke to the General Manager and he was a complete sarcastic ** with a snooze you loose attitude. What the hell. Did I pay them for inaccurate information and a waste of my time?

Anyone having rodent/mice problems? Well, apparently the auto industry in attempt to go "green" has put SOY in their wiring, making your wiring very attractive to mice. My vehicle is currently in shop being repaired, although I have comprehensive coverage and the damage is covered, however, I have to the $500 deductible. Does anyone know who I take up the $500 deductible with, I don't feel I should have to pay this whatsoever. I've read several class action lawsuits being taken against Honda right now for the same reason, I have not seen anything for Buick/GM as of yet. Any advice would be great, thanks in advance!

Have a 2016 Buick Enclave with only 1,400 miles and the brakes are fading already. Took it in and they found nothing. Said they are working like they are designed to do. General Motors is walking a thin line with this. I just hope my wife never gets into an accident.

Just leased a 2016 Buick Encore, base with interlink radio, non-touchscreen display. Can't see out back due to glare, fog or general distortion. This could be dangerous! I went to my Buick dealer, he took out another 2016 Encore to compare the camera. Same effect, blurry on second Encore. Appears problem is in camera lens. I tried adjusting the contrast, dark, light on the dash display switch. No effect except darker, blurry. Dealer had no remedy. I just traded in a 2013 GMC Terrain, and received a recall notice from GMC concerning the backup camera with interlink radio. There is a new software patch for the terrain. Perhaps there is a new software for the Buick Encore??? Any advice, fix??

Transmission issues with 2008 Buick Enclave. Called customer service and was advised to have vehicle diagnosed at customer's cost. Dealership stated transmission was damaged due to faulty wave plate. Call customer service back and specialist advised me that I was in the time period but over the miles that they would not warrant their product. Dealership states that replacing transmission would be $4500 dollars. Car was maintenance property but faulty wave plate caused damaged and Buick will not assist with repair bill. Will not purchase another Buick vehicle in the future. Lost loyal customer forever!!!

Noise sounds like air intake is restricted causing a "whistling"noise to transmit into the passenger compartment. Told by one dealership that it is the alternator just doing what it's supposed to do. The second dealership used a stethoscope to listen to the alternator. The noise was not coming from the alternator but "could be coming from the tensioner pulley or the serpentine belt". Tested another new (2015 LaCrosse) and found the same noise. Told I have to "live with it". Is this what Buick quiet tuning is? My 2010 LaCrosse did not have that noise. Also no response from Buick!

2014 Buick Regal GS - First, the good about the car. It has a really nice ride and the 4 cyl turbo has plenty of power, and I come from owning vehicles with over 400 horsepower (only because I want a vehicle to do what I want it to do when I need it to do it). The Regal is nimble, agile, and comfortable even on long drives. Sound system is ok (underpowered) and I have the premium bose system (actually every option available).

I picked a used 2013 Verano Turbo with 6-speed manual transmission. What delight to drive and has been worry free for 20,000 miles I've owned. I set the cruise control at 70 mph and the little Turbo sees 37 mpg all day long. It is super quiet and handles like a dream. I like the Verano so I leased a Buick Encore for two years. When the short 20,000 mile lease was up I was sad to see "squirt" be returned. Again another flawless Buick I have owned and a joy to drive.

I purchased a 2011 Buick Enclave with 35,000 miles on it a year and a half ago. First 3 months I had it the transmission went and needed new brakes. It's been in dealership 2 more times with a squeaking noise that steering wheel makes. Both times I was told it was fine. Now it's back at the dealership because it suddenly wouldn't start. When I finally got it started a message appeared stating that engine only has half power. Not to mention that as you are slowing down from a speed of about 50 mph the front end feels like it is skipping. Guess I will be told that is nothing either. Each time I am without my vehicle for days. Guess I should have kept my Honda Pilot.

Since new I've brought the car to Buick 2009 enclave for steering issues and check engine light. My wife driving off a highway made a left turn in NYC and the steering gave way. She hit a train trestle base. Since January we cannot pass inspection as they cannot figure out what is wrong with the car check engine light. After months. It's possible it's the catalytic converter. That's thousands of dollars. And part of a class action lawsuit as is the steering. Let's go GM. Give me another car or fix this one to my satisfaction!

2011 Buick Regal Turbo - I love, love my car! However, 2 weeks after purchase it was in the dealership with noise issues. My timing belt was replaced at 34k miles! Then my front and rear bumpers were peeling. Those got repainted, took 2 weeks at the dealership. Silver trim around both outside windows were oxidizing! Replaced. Then the headliner started sagging in the middle of sunroof. Couldn't fix, so headliner was replaced. I'm not complaining since this was all covered under warranty, I'm just tired if dealing with it! I want to enjoy my car. Now there is a chirping noise when my a/c is on and I put it in reverse and accelerate. Dealership doesn't know. They thought it was the alternator, and replaced it! Very frustrated but still love my car.

Oct. 27, 2014 - agreed to buy a 2014 Buick LaCrosse, model Leather using a trade-in low mileage 2004 Buick LaSabre Limited. The sales person provided the normal sales pitch, but neglected to tell us the car he was selling to us have been used as a loaner to folks who brought their car into the dealership for service (it had 5,654 miles on it). By the time we found this out, we had already made up our minds, the car we just took out for a test drive was the one we wanted. This was just before the dealership was to lock up for the Labor Day weekend, and we were supposed to come back the day after Labor Day and complete the transaction, which we did.

I have a 2012 Lacrosse that has just over 29K Miles on it. Transmission jerks hard as I am at normal speed cruising. I have duplicated for a Dealer and told that it is "Normal" for my transmission to jerk. These problems started around 2000 miles on the car, I bought it brand new with only 41 miles on it. I have driven 2 other 2012 Lacrosses and no jerk, a 2013, a 2014 and just today a 2015 and no jerk. It is the car and this is just the start of problems. I just had a mechanic from a totally independent shop to ride in my car tonight and he felt the jerking. He feels that there are transmission problems and I was told by several mechanics that a jerk that can be felt so strongly is not normal. I will never own another GM vehicle in all my days. This will be the last one.

On April 9, 2015 I was in a frontal impact accident. After it hit the front my vehicle then rolled over landing on the passenger's side. I did have my seatbelt on, however, my head still hit the steering wheel. The windshield was heavily damaged going into the car on the driver's side. I had to be taken to the hospital via EMS where I got 8 stitches to my left arm, and countless tests. I still have to go to physical therapy for my right shoulder. The vehicle had to be towed via flatbed truck. Windshield and airbag a huge safety concern. I have had two GM vehicles, one an 07 Malibu and this 06 Buick Rendezvous. The Malibu was part of a massive recall and I feel like GM needs to take a further look into the quality of vehicles they are selling, while placing thousands of people in harm's way.

I purchased my 2014 Buick Verano in November 2014 and now have almost 7,500 miles on the car. I just love it, I have noticed like a previous comment about the transmission shifting. I asked the dealership and their response was, "this is normal and if I was not comfortable or felt unsafe, they would take a look at it for me." I just love my new car and I had many GM vehicles in the past and will continue to purchase GM products in the future. I love the design inside and out. GM has a best-seller here with the Buick Verano. I just can't get over that they should have thought of this car earlier. Keep up the great work GM.

I have a 2008 Buick Enclave, which I thought was the perfect mid-size SUV for my 3 children and I. Needing more space, I traded in a more reliable vehicle in order to purchase it. However, my vehicle has caused me nothing but grief and $$$. Today 6/2/15 I took it to the dealer again at Fremont Buick because my air conditioner stopped working about 3 weeks ago (I live in the place with the drought, California). I first reported hearing a hissing noise last December and was told that nothing was wrong, but they did say that I needed to replace my rack & pinion and that the right axle was leaking. I spent $1,000.00 on that repair.

I was forced to purchase a new to me vehicle after my 1989 Chevy CK1500 pickup truck with 750,000 miles on it was totaled when a kid ran a stop sign. On 2-21-19, I purchased a 1991 Buick Park Avenue Ultra from a farmer that parked it outside on gravel. It had 116,000 miles on it. I paid $2350.00. I had some work done by my local garage that I have been doing business with since 1988. It needed a new gas tank, shocks and a few other items. I have it serviced regularly. Due to being parked on gravel, rust has taken over the undercarriage. I need to replace the car not because of mechanical issues, but because it is rusting away. I like this car so much that I am seeking another one.

Why would you build cars where you have to pay to get a light bulb changed (head lamps)? Advanced Auto can't help. Got an oil change. They couldn't help. Sick of Buick.

I bought a 2006 Buick LaCrosse several years ago. Two weeks after purchase, the "check engine" light came on. It would take at least two pages here to list ALL the problems I've had with this car EVER SINCE!!! I have now spent over $5,000 on repairs, and as I write this, it is powering down, and the reservoir coolant keeps leaking... somewhere not visible!!! I don't have any more money to bring it to a Mechanic AGAIN!!! The last time I brought the car in for repairs was at "Auto Select" at 2128 Main St., Green Bay, WI. 54302 (phone: 920-465-3790.) I had to take out yet ANOTHER loan to pay them!!! ($1,600) If A & B Auto or GM doesn't make this right, I feel personally obligated to let every one of my Family and friends know how they do not stand behind vehicles!!

Hi I have a Buick Rainer 06. I'm on my 3 drivers side door handle with in 2 yrs of owning this SUV. Door handle broke a week after buying it used with 82k on it. Didn't know my back door would have to become my front door. Very unhappy with quality.

2014 Buick Verano NEW purchase MAJOR issues owned 11 weeks. Purchased NOV. 2014. Front end has a WOBBLE at 12-15 mph that shakes the steering wheel in my hand. Taken in 5 time for this issue. WAS TOLD is a CHARACTERISTIC of the NEW car. The TRANSMISSION was deemed to have an internal leak and the INPUT OUTPUT SENSOR needed to be replace, still has WOBBLE, have a claim with GM. Dealer that sold it to me will not help me. GM will not replace the vehicle with another nor take this one back.

I have been very happy with my Buick Regal, however, it costs quite a bit to have repairs done at the dealership.

I have owned many buicks that is why I am upset that at 39901 miles I had a steering ck leak. Bergstrom buick replaced the steering gear and alignment. The cost--parts-734.16 and labor 997.50 a total for some reason of 1731.66. I was also advised by bergstrom that this repair is only warranted for 1 year. I also noted that steering problems have considerable for this model.

I just purchased a 1995 Lesabre for basically nothing so I can't complain much, but the problems I'm facing is about 5 minutes after I first crank the car, it suddenly dies. It cranks right back up but the Security light comes on and about ten minutes after that, the engine light comes up. It seems to run better after the engine light comes on, which I figured is the computer trying to correct something that is wrong. Other than that the steering is super noisy, which is expected out of a 20 year old car. I love the way the car rides, its super smooth and runs great other than the problems I've listed. The car is a 3800 with around 220k miles on it.

2010 buick enclave - After just 4 and a half years, the paint on the heater knobs are chipping off. I take extra care of my car, and for this to happen after the warranty expires is disappointing. The peeling paint on the dashboard buttons makes my $48,000 car look cheap. Oh wait, it is cheap. Buick Dealership can't fix this and have basically told me "too bad". I will not buy another Buick product.

Never do anything like this, but if it saves someone going through the pain my family has, it is worth it. DO NOT PURCHASE A BUICK ENCLAVE. We were so proud of ours when we bought it, but have been so disappointed. Nothing but issues. Started with cracked transmission gear (which they DID fix). Then the front end issues began. Popping and rattling in the front end. Took it in and paid to have it fixed. Caused uneven wear on tires and had to replace those (and 17" tires aren't cheap). Since then, have had front end done 4X!!!

I have a 2004 Buick Rainier, the gear shift is hard to get out of park. Also, the thermostat reads too far on the cold side which is making my check engine light come on. A couple of days ago, a maintenance brake system light came on. I thought Buick were supposed to be reliable.

We purchased an 09 enclave a little over 2 yrs ago. When we bought it they had to replace the motor mount. Then they replaced the fuel pump. Then coil packs. Later on the transmission had to be fixed. We have continued to replace coil packs one after the other. NOW the motor is bad! Oh and my ac compressor just fell to pieces and fell to the ground. I love my car but I'm making $628 payments still having to correct MAJOR problems. They need to reimburse us!

While driving, my 2011 Buick Regal CXL suddenly lost acceleration and when I tried to change gears from drive to reverse...nothing! The car would not change gears and if I put my foot on the gas it had power but no acceleration. When I took/towed it to the dealer, after their check, I was told they could not find anything wrong with the transmission, sensors, nothing...except the brakes!

I purchased a 2013 Buick Enclave and had same issue in our GMC Acadia. While backing up with camera in operation and then before going to drive there was a loud "POPPING" sound as if something had blown. The DVD ejected and display went off then reset itself... 4th time this issued happened. Took Buick to dealer and they gave me this Blank Dumb stare as if I was speaking a foreign language... Waiting for results. Not Happy. It's no wonder people are going to Honda And Toyota. Dealer was Expressway Chevy Mt. Vernon Indiana.. Customer service was Not Satisfactory... This is the 3rd vehicle I purchased from Mt Vernon and the Last...

Let me just start out by saying I choose to lease my Buick Verano since I love to get a different car every couple of years. The car I got is a 2012 Buick Verano and I had the dealership drive to New York from Pennsylvania to get this specific color package I wanted. The car itself is Beautiful and runs ok but I have the lease until December. I really did not have any major issues since I got the car in September 2012. My husband and I tried to take it to the dealership the other day to see if we could trade it in for a New car and we found out that this car only will get a trade in value of $13,000 IF WE ARE LUCKY!!!

Buick Regal - 3 times in for transmission. Just junk.

New Buick Verano owned only 2 months - When driving, an RPM hits 15. Starts to shake and makes noises. Also, just tonight driving home and all my light inside and outside turned off. Couldn't see to drive. Luckily there was room to pull off highway or possible accident. Restarted car and lights came back on! GM needs to step up and make these cars better or there will be a huge lawsuit.

My mother bought this 2008 Buick Enclave CXL with every possible option for $44,000. 75-year-old female driver only, always maintained, never abused. At 45K miles, she gave the car to me. 45-year-old male, perfect driving record, & preventative maintenance freak. At 48K miles, the transmission began slipping at various times & in various gears. Took it straight to dealer, the warranty was expired 6 months ago due to time, not mileage. The dealer charged me $212 to tell me the tranny was slipping (knew that). Said it would cost me $1,200 just to drop it & diagnose. Suggested I go with a GM rebuilt for $4,800. They said Buick would not help me with repairs or discount the parts, even with only 48K miles. I took it a couple blocks down the road for a $3,000 rebuilt tranny with a 1-year warranty.

My sister went to start her car after getting off her graveyard shift and she heard an explosion and black smoke was bellowing out from under the hood! She immediately got out of the car and wondering what the heck was going on, and then the engine burst into flames! She works at a facility where people are treated for dementia! One of the residents was frightened so bad they had to calm him down! What in God's name is GM doing? I'd never buy a GM product especially after reading the complaints other people has experienced! My sister is without a car now!

At 87,600 miles the wave plate for the transmission in my 2008 Enclave is gone; $3800 to rebuild, $5400 to replace. Apparently the wave plate is a consistent issue with many of the GM products. GM should take responsibility for this faulty part and issue a recall. After the local dealership quoted me the price, I call GM corporate to complain. There are thousands of complaints on the 2008/2009 Enclave on several blogs & forums. GM took my complaint and contacted the local dealership and came back with - 30% off the rebuild with 12 month/12,000 mile warranty. Please note the rebuild will ONLY replace the 'broken' parts. All the other OLD parts will not placed back in.

2013 buick regal t - The light on the radio info center goes dim and goes out. Had it back to Buick but they can't find anything wrong with it. Take it home, does the same thing. Is anyone having the same problem?

My 2010 Buick LaCrosse floors get wet from rain water. Not every time, but I have shopped it four times since buying it new. It's in the shop now and has been there four weeks.

Had to replace water pump, power steering pump, seat belt anchor. But all these 3 are recalls so I didn't have 2 pay anything. So before you pay for repairs make sure they’re not recalls. Just asked two Buick dealer and they should tell you. But now I have 2 coils that are out on my car and it doesn't want to run now. This is not a recall so I would have to pay out of pocket for this.

While driving to work in a 2013 Buick Lacrosse, check engine light popped on then all lights went off, car went off. There was absolutely no power anywhere. No Radio, no light, no cell, no anything. These cars has to have a factory recall. When this car stopped, a serious accident could have happened. Gm needs to fix this problem. A class action suit is on its way!!!

I purchased a 2011 Buick Regal CXL literally 73 days ago. It only had 56,000 miles and came with power train warranty. After acceleration issues on the highway I have been informed that I should also have a manufacturer's warranty on the vehicle. It spent about a week in the service department at the dealership. I purchased it at for a cosmetic piece, they agreed to fix when I purchased it. During that time they were supposed to inspect my current problem which was that the check engine light came on while on the highway and I could not fully accelerate. Their conclusion was that they could find nothing wrong. So about 24 hours later on my trip back on the highway, the check engine light went back on again. Not only could I not fully accelerate, I could not get the vehicle to go into gear at all. The gear shift would blink when I put it into drive but would not go.

I purchased a used 2006 Buick Lacrosse in August 2014. It had just under 32,000 miles on it. With so few miles on it I thought it would be like driving a new car. I took it for a very short test drive and bought it. What a mistake. All the lights on the dash go dim, off and on all the time. Also, this week in the space around the odometer I get the message "ice". Also, with the heater and air conditioner, it pauses if you change the settings at all. I've never had this happen with any car I've ever owned. The comfort level of this Buick is terrible. When you go over a manhole cover, brick road, railroad track, or uneven pavement, you feel every little bump. I also don't like the fact that the windows are so much smaller than all my previous Buicks. If I were to ever need to crawl out of one it would be impossible as they sit much higher up than in the other Buicks I've owned.

I purchased a 2010 Buick Enclave CXL. This car is the most unreliable car I have ever owned by FAR. The steering column has been replaced twice, the car has leaked water into the passenger's side cabin, and then the car leaked water again due to the sunroof rails and caused my Bose amplifier ($1000 to replace) to burn up. Today the wave plate for the transmission is gone ($3500) replacement. Apparently the wave plate is a consistent issue with any of the GM products but they have refused a recall. Also, the air conditioner will now blow in all vents except for the front blowers. Apparently an evaporator issue.

2013 Buick Encore - August 22, 37K miles maintenance. Sept. 22, engine light. 24th, told loose hose. Oct. 22, 2K miles later, engine light. They rebuilt engine (piston, rings replacement), picked up on 11/5/14. 11/7/14 engine light on, returned to dealer.

I have had nothing but trouble with my 2009 Buick Enclave. The water pump went out and the power steering pump went out. The fuel pump is now going out. Everyone I get gas it won't start. The front struts went out. The air bags in the front has only worked part time. The timing is off. It's like it has been one problem after another. I have paid so much out in repairs and still have more repairs to do on it. It keeps throwing more and more codes every time I drive it. I can't seem to get rid of it because of all the repairs still needed and I can't get it paid down because I'm spending too much for repairs. At this time I owe twice what the car is worth due to the condition it is in. I Will Never Ever Buy Another Buick.

I just noticed the dash coming loose from the window in front of the driver's seat. I went online and found there have many complaints of the same problem. There is a concern of the air bags deploying. Besides it is very unsightly. I love my Buick and would buy another one if I needed another vehicle. Apparently Gm is not interested in keeping their customers. Other Buick owners feel the same as myself. Would really like situation rectified.

I purchased a 2014 Lacrosse and was told the number 2 package would ride better, so I purchased it. The thing rides like a lumber wagon. Unless you want a ruff riding vehicle stay away from this package. Customer service offered little to no help, referred me back to the dealer, and they had very few ideas to improve the ride and never offered me any compensation. So far I have spent about $1700.00 to fix the problem. I don't know if the customer service people know anything about fixing a problem like this? You would think someone in the company would know what to do!

We bought the 2006 Buick Lucerne CXL 2.5 Years ago @ Taylor Automotive in Martin, TN. We drove it down the road for a test drive. I drove, didn't drive very far, possible 3 miles. The Car drove sorta good. We bought it. That Sunday night drove it to work, we worked 3rd shift. The Monday morning got in the car, it would not go into reverse. So, I put it back into park and got the rpms up. Then put the car into reverse. It went in gear.

Be driving down the road and the radio just stops playing and the touch screen will not work, don't know what to do. Called the dealership waiting to see if it's covered.

My Buick has been in the service department 4 times of the course of 3 months and still not fixed same exact issues, and now I'm told by (Freedom Chevy Hwy 67 Dallas) that they do not want my service anymore... Disappointed, shocked, confused on so many levels.

Stalling and not starting of 97 buick lesabre - I have watched the recalls and saw that they go back as far as my year but not the model. My one owner 97 was purchased from a Buick dealership 3 yrs ago with only approx.117,000 miles. I figured was going to last until I quit driving as I'm 66. In the first 5 miles I drove, the check engine light came on. My sister who got the car for me was adamant it was fine when she drove home and dew places trying it out. She had to have them replace the battery before she got it. We took to a garage where the gas cap was replaced and the man said that was probably all it was. Light went off till filled up next day to return back to me home...right back on, was running fine so ignored it, drove 225 miles home. About 2 months later after having auto parts house check codes went off. Stayed about 1 month. The next time came on, different code showed up. Had towed in to shop after wouldn't start and they kept 2 days, said couldn't find anything wrong. Week later stranded me a second time ..so after waiting about 20 min it started up. Got home...son looked, checked all wires etc...said didn't see a problem. I drove back 225 miles.

Ignition module failure 8/11/2014. After 58000 miles my 2008 Lucerne would not start. Repaired by dealer for $500. Have complaint number but so far no response from GM.

Purchased pre-owned certified Lacrosse w/ 28k miles, from dealer in North Central Texas. In less than one year this vehicle has left me stranded twice. The second time the car failed, I was half way to the dealers shop. The car had to be towed the rest of the way. Timing chain issues and several codes flashed after vehicle was inspected. Dealer is now demanding proof of oil changes and attempting to back out of any warranty obligations. Purchasing a car on good faith and trusting GM to stand behind their products is a fools errand. No wonder the majority of folks in the US buy trusted and high quality Japanese automobiles. After repairs are made to my Lacrosse I fully intend to purchase a certified Toyota Avalon. Disgusted.

I love my Buick Lucerne my dad retired Buick here in Michigan and I've only driven Chevy or Buick. No worries.

A friend bought a Buick LaCrosse with an extended warranty & after owning this vehicle as a 2nd owner for only 4 months the check engine light came on. After retrieving the error codes which show that cylinders 1, 3 & 5 are misfiring she contacts the dealer who asks if this was the 1st time this has happened, to which she answers yes. The dealer then states that this is a common occurrence & that this GM 3.6 liter V6 engine misfires but not to the point of creating a mechanical issue. After doing some research I come to find out what appears to be plenty of reports/complaints of the exact issues (& plenty more) that she's having.

I purchased a 2010 Buick Lacrosse in July of 2010 and since I have bought it I have spent over $5000.00 in repairs in addition to warranty repairs that were covered. My check engine light came on and I was given a list of codes that were causing the problem. I fixed all recommended issues, only to have the light come on again a day later. I was given the run around about how that one light controls hundreds of components and that the dealership would fix it. The next day I was given the bogus excuse that because the area where my tank was located had been dented that I needed to replace the fuel tank reservoir because that was causing the problem.

My 2014 Buick Regal exploded at 5000 miles on the highway. And I got injured and had to stay at the hospital for 1 week for burns and MRSA caused by the explosion in the Buick Regal. I am never buying a car made by GM ever again. Thanks a lot. I will never drive your cars ever again, not even if you give it for free.

For all those people out there that are having, or have had, bad experiences with the replacement of Window Regulators, there is a better way. $400.00 per is a joke. The regulators (Including Motor) cost less than $80.00 on eBay. They are fairly easy to replace with a few simple tools (and with the help of Youtube.com video) or for as little as $50.00 per at your small local garage repair shop, for cash (Not sure what I am RATING to get this to post).

In 3/2012 I had to replace the intake manifold gasket, heat upstream sensor, oil pressure switch, engine oil because of engine coolant leak that could have blown up the engine and then just today 7/16, 2014 it leaked again and I had to pay to replace the water pump and flush out the dex coolant totaling $1,142.25 in repairs because of it. I had to do other repairs not sure if the coolant caused it. This has affected my credit worthiness and resale value of vehicle.

Have had lots of trouble with the Lacrosse. It only has 55,000 miles and I'm the second owner. Already replaced a catalytic converter (thankfully under emissions warranty) and also another module. Car now sounds loud when accelerating. Also seems sluggish at times. The check engine light does not come on now though. Very disappointed with this vehicle. It looks very nice but all that doesn't matter if it acts up a lot. Never had a vehicle give me so much trouble at such low mileage. How can you make car payment and pay for repairs?

2012 Buick enclave lift gate housing lifted - Customer service told us that it must be from ice. However it just started last week. Now the lift gate will not open. Gets stuck on the plastic trim on top of car. Does anyone have this trouble? They are saying it's our cost and responsibility.

Car stalls and the crash light suddenly goes off, but I've not crashed.

I have a 2007 Buick Lucerne, 69,000 miles. Back door could not be opened, passenger trapped inside. Contacted GM, as I felt this was a safety concern. I was told to go to Buick dealer & was a given number which they provided to my Buick dealer. This has been a problem with many Buicks for years & they will do NOTHING. The repair was $400 for a lock on this one door.

Have had a problem with my 2002 Buick LaSabre Limited for months and had it in the the Garage down the street from me and now at Palm Chev in Ocala, Fl. When driving this vehicle down the road, a red light comes on and then a beep beep, and it stops. This has become a safety hazard and after 5 times and 4 new sensors, it's still doing the same thing. I am wondering if someone higher up could be contacted to see if there is something the dealer has missed. They have had my car now for 3 days and nothing shows up on the computer, and when they drive it nothing happens. I have spent over 1700.00 getting this car right and now I am afraid to take it out on the road anymore. It have around 50,000 miles on it and is a beautiful riding auto but I would like to find somebody who knows something about this problem. Can anyone advise me as to who to contact?

My 2014 Buick LaCrosse has been in service with the dealership on 3 occasions for a total of 12 calendar days to attempt repair on my lack of reception and static on the FM radio stations. General Motors claims that it is due to obstructions and obstacles in the market. I have driven 6 other vehicles without any problem and work with an additional 75 co-workers that do not have any issue with FM reception. The odd part is I live in Scottsdale, AZ where there are no tall buildings, obstacles, perfect weather, no trees or bugs. I'm not sure what obstructions they feel we have in Scottsdale.

I have been arguing with customer relations about the brakes being incorrect on this car for at least 6 months. The brakes are smaller than what was suppose to be on the car as advertised by Buick. I went to replace the fronts and the pads on the car are smaller than the OEM replacements and it turns out I had to buy standard Lucerne pads. Then I had the rears replaced. OEM for the car don't match. Had to hunt and search and buy 2001 La Sabre pads. The car has 98k on it and uses a quart of oil every thousand miles. Can't get a dealership to diagnose it. The transmission has erratic shift and flare ups. Dealer can't diagnose it. If it doesn't have a trouble code, it doesn't have a problem is what I'm told. The door trim is delaminating. Some of the pieces replaced before for the same problem. Oh it's out of warranty. The wheel's clear coat is coming off and these were replaced once under warranty for the same problem but it's out of warranty.

Purchased Buick Lacrosse 2010, not thirty days in, the power begins to slow down at 23 to 24 miles. Take to dealers, they charge me 115.00 to tell me it may be my air filter and may need throttle body induction. Now in my mind, you're a Buick dealership and you have no clue of what's wrong. And I'm forced to pay for that information. My check engine light comes on soon as I left, I call back. They tell me they will charge me 150.00 to put a machine under my trunk switch that advance auto uses for free to read me the codes. It is because I'm a woman or dealerships are heading to hell in a hand basket. Signed don't trust ideal Buick.

I purchased a 2011 Buick LaCrosse BRAND new and it has been the car from HELL. From the 6th day of ownership, it has been towed 12 times and now is in the shop because it won't go in reverse.

Let me start out by saying that the Verano is a nice looking car. However, I have noticed that the transmission can randomly shift hard, and sometimes the car hesitates a bit when I try to accelerate. I hope this car doesn't give me any problems at all.

First of all, we were lied to by the sales person. The dealership in Cleveland, TN. We were informed I could get a sunroof installed for $695.00. We chose the Buick Verano we have because of that fact. There was another Buick Verano at the dealership we would have chosen had we known the actual cost of the sunroof was DOUBLE what the sales lady told us. The dealership owner refused to honor this and she had no concern for her employees lying to us. Her overall presentation was not a good one at all. I forwarded my concern to BUICK and GM without any success whatsoever.

I have owned my Rainier for 4 1/12 years and have recently had issues with the air suspension system. As I drive or when it’s parked, the vehicle's rear end drops, which causes headaches and stomach pain from the bouncing around as I drive. I have researched this issue and found numerous complaints with the same issue. I have taken very good care of the vehicle, and feel that Buick/GM should cover the costs of the repair, since this is a default/defect in the manufacturing of the vehicle and no fault of my own. I am paying a 450.00 monthly car payment that I feel is a LEMON, and I am very frustrated, embarrassed, and dismayed.

I received a letter from Buick saying that the timing chain on my 2011 Regal could break causing engine damage (Really?). They said I should not take it to the dealership and they would not do anything about it until it broke, so they extended the warranty on the engine. If I am on the interstate doing 70 mph and the chain breaks, the engine stops and I lose steering. That is a really comforting thought. I could get killed or even worse. How long have they been making timing chains? Do they not test components any more? Buick is supposed to be a quality vehicle. What has happened to GM? When I contacted Buick, they were very sympathetic and said they were sorry and hoped nothing happened. Me too.

We have a 2001 Buick LeSabre with less than 70,000 miles. The dash has separated and could cause the airbags to deploy. All of the window regulators have had to be replaced. The O2 sensor has gone out three times. The plating on the hub caps is peeling. And the most stupid thing is that the battery is under the backseat. I don't know who designed these cars but they are idiots. I will NEVER buy another GM car.

When I scheduled a routine oil change, the service writer recommended changing transmission fluid at 50000 miles. Three days after this was done, my transmission completely stopped. They persistently denied that the procedure caused the transmission failure or even that they should have seen the problem when doing the fluid work. They charged over 3600 for the new transmission on top of what I had already paid for the fluid. After I complained to GM about this, they contacted the dealer's customer relations department. The decision was to refund half of the cost of the new transmission.

Check engine light came on with major loss of power and hesitation. After three times turning off ignition, computer reset. Took the auto to a Buick dealership in Buford, GA and was told to bring back when light on. When back in Mass went on internet and found accelerator control light and traction control caused by moisture in connector junction. Mechanic found moisture in junction box and applied fix recommended by Buick tech order - moisture remover and covering tape. Under drizzle and fog condition, problem reoccurred. Suspect this is a manufacturing engineering problem - junction box in wrong location (over strut) allows road spray to be kicked up from wheels causing condition to reoccur during wet road conditions. Why hasn't Buick corrected this problem?

I contacted Nimnicht Buick-GMC about a pre-owned vehicle. After a week of email correspondence, phone calls, and online credit applications, I went into the dealership. I only traveled this far away from home because I was advised via email and telephone that I was approved for a car loan with no money down. Once I arrived at the dealership, I was asked for a $500 down payment. I refused to do this as this was not what we had previously agreed upon. As with many auto dealerships, they told me what they thought I wanted to hear to get me to come in. I refuse to make the down payment because I felt I was totally misled for an entire week. Jason ** and Elizabeth ** were the individuals I dealt with. I went to a dealership less than a mile from my home and purchased the vehicle I desired. They will never receive any of my business and as many people as I can spread this to will be turned against them. They should not make a practice of lying to their customers as this is NOT good business.

My 2011 Buick LaCrosse was the first (and last) Buick I have owned. The car is really attractive (on the surface) but has been a nightmare of mechanical and technical issues since the first day. On the day I picked it up it was raining really heavily and the windshield kept fogging up so badly that I couldn't see where I was going. Come to find out there was a recall on this, but the dealer didn't fix it before delivering the car. Within a week the driver's seat started to make this loud squeaking sound whenever I drove around a corner. After a half dozen attempts the seat has still never been fixed. Then the engine light started coming one every few weeks. This was supposed to be because of some software issue, but everything they "fixed" it never lasted and a few weeks later the light was back on.

I just discovered a leak in the base cover from the blower motor. I was very disappointed to learn from the Internet that this problem is a reoccurring problem on Buick Enclave from 2008-2010 and the dealer that sold me the car never disclosed said problem. I own a 2010 Model and I am sure that the floor and electrical have been damaged by water. This a an issue that demands a recall of the vehicle. I have been trying to have Buick fix the problem at their cost but I need authorization not to charge for the repairs and assurance that it can be fix. Please help.

We bought a 2011 Enclave new in early 2011. The car has about 20,000 miles on it. About nine months ago, the rear liftgate broke (hydraulics), and came crashing down on me. Thankfully not a worse injury than sore a few days. Last month, I turn the ignition over and the car won't start. I had to have it towed to the dealership to have a software update (really??). Yesterday, car made funny noise under hood. Dealership took it in all day to return it at end and tell me car needs 3 days work but need to come back. I want my money back. Wish I stuck with Toyota.

We have a 2011 Buick Regal. It's a nice car, but it couldn't make it past 7,000 miles before the check engine light came on three times. The first time it came on, it turned out that it needed a new timing chain and 4 new valves. The second time it came on, the fuel injectors needed to be cleaned. Then, time went by and after five months, the engine light came on for the third time because the car needed a new fuel pump. So far, everything has been fine with the car.

2011 Buick Enclave - I purchased this car new in August of 2010. Beginning December 2012, I have had it in the shop 10 times. The following items have broken down: water pump, passenger A/C temp actuator, memory seat motor, steering gear replaced, shift control and actuator, both front lower control arm bushings, brake vacuum booster, crank shaft seal, bad engine mount and the rear temperature control head which burned my daughter. The rear temperature control head that was replaced still gets so hot it could burn you. I was told there is nothing more that can be done. They suggested I turn down my interior lighting. That's not going to happen. I am so disappointed in Buick.

I recently purchased a 2012 Buick LaCrosse AWD. I traded in a 2008 Chevrolet Impala LTZ. After driving the Buick for several months now, I wish I had the Impala back. The Buick is a beautiful car with a huge defect. GM has designed and programmed the 6-speed automatic transmission to shift at over 5,000 RPM. At the high RPM, the engine noise is very noticeable. Perhaps the worst effect is that the high RPM sucks gas and the car gets nowhere near the advertised mileage. The Buick's engine has as much, if not more power, than the Impala so the high shift points are completely unnecessary. They will result in higher engine and transmission wear, and they are killing the gas mileage.

I have a 2006 Buick Lucerne, purchased new and maintained regularly at GM dealership as per the maintenance manual. Last week of December 2012, a grinding noise was heard. My wife took it in to Highland Dealership in Aurora, ON and she was told after a thorough check up that there was nothing to worry about and she could drive it safely. Four days later, I took the car back to the dealership complaining about the same noise. Later on that day, they called me to let me know that the transmission broke down while they were test driving it.

I'm retired and the 2012 Buick Verano is the first Buick I have ever purchased. Now, I know why. If you enjoy the loud sounds of clunking and thumping from a vehicle that apparently does not have any type of suspension, then the Verano is for you. If not, stay away!

My 2012 Buick Verano at around 15,000 miles makes a noise when it shifts from park to drive and reaches 10 mph. I have had the part replaced once, the dealer and GM will not replace it again. I am supposed to live with this sound my car makes daily. They told me it's the ABS sensor and it's supposed to make that noise. It's not the clicking noise that I was told the sensor was supposed to make, it clunks like the transmission is having trouble with the first shift. I could not sell this car on my own while it's making this noise, they refuse to replace. Why should I be expected to drive a car, still under warranty, while it makes this "clunking" noise daily? If it's the ABS, should they not replace that, can this not be a safety issue?

This complaint is not about customer service at any Buick dealer, but a complaint against the design and production engineers who designed a 2008 Buick Lucerne that requires the fender well to be removed at a labor cost of $250.00 to replace a low beam bulb that costs less than $20.00. How stupid can GM get and what a ripoff to a long-time Buick owner? If I have to pay $250.00, I will never buy a GM product again.

I bought a 2003 Buick LeSabre from Faulkner Ford in Quakertown. It had 74,000 miles on it and I thought it would be a good used car. I didn't drive it right away due to car insurance problems. We took it on vacation and the air conditioner worked until we reached our destination. I couldn't take it in for service due to my work schedule. Once I took it in, they told me that the air compressor was cracked and leaked out all the freon. I believe they knew about this repair when they sold me the car. The repair is going to cost between $500 and $800. I looked around and can't afford to fix it since it was financed. I believe it was a deceptive deal. They sold the car advertising that it had air conditioning when in reality it didn't. I was furious. I talked to the service department and also the sales manager trying to get them to do the repair. I have a warranty but of course, it doesn't cover those repairs.

My 2010 LaCrosse check engine light came on; it was covered by warranty. The service repair person said that I have to pay $390.00 to replace the O2 sensor. I asked, “Why do I have to pay? Isn't the sensor covered?” He said no, because it’s the wires corrosion and then he said rodents/rats ate the wires. I didn't know that service repair specializes in rodents. Which lie is it? I don't trust car dealer mechanics. I don't recommend LaCrosses and their phony warranties. A rat ate my wires - yeah right! I’m not satisfied! I called everybody in the corporate branches - no one helped me! I also like to mention that if you’re a tall or big person, don't buy LaCrosse as you'll hit your head and knees. Looks are deceiving. Don't buy cars in Woodbridge, New Jersey on Rt. 1&9. Poor repair service.

I own a 2009 Buick Lucerne and never had a problem with it. I have a friend with a 755i BMW and I would not trade even. I think that Buick has deserted a loyal following by deciding not to produce the Lucerne any longer. I also have a 2005 LeSabre, which I have never had a major problem with. Buick was so busy pushing the Lacrosse that the Lucerne was forgotten. The Lacrosse will never be the car that the Lucerne is. The next car that I'll buy will probably be a Chrysler 300.

I purchased a 2011 Buick Regal November 2011. Since that time I have been working with Sapaugh's Service department to clear away problems that are causing my dissatisfaction, namely the performance of said vehicle. My greatest complaint is the near stall affect or the delayed response to acceleration and when it decides to respond it will jerk so bad that I am repositioned in my seat. I want a smooth operation. The experience of driving the said vehicle is not pleasant. I am convinced the service department at Sapaugh Motors does not know the cause of the said problem. I pay 631.00 dollars each month for a vehicle I am unhappy with. Please, can you help me?

I have owned and driven Buicks most of my life (77 years old), I have had more problems with my present car, 2008 Buick Lucerne, than all of my other Buicks combined. I had problems with lane departure system twice, door lock twice, recall and disconnection of heated washer system, door handle came loose and almost lost it, rear window won't operate, lane departure system started working once in a while and then stopped working at all. I have always believed in buying American, but I don't think I can buy another Buick. I bought this car at Everett Buick GMC in Bryant, AR. The VIN # is **.

I have had to replace 4 window regulators! The windows just stopped working without any warning. They've been very expensive! There needs to be a recall on them and refund customers.

My fiancee was driving the vehicle and the left front tire locked up causing her to lose control of the van until it unlocked itself. This has happened several times. We took it to the dealership at least three times trying to get it fixed. They tell us nothing can be done. This appears to be a common issue as I found hundreds of occurrences on the internet of this happening. I would really like to get this fixed before she or the entire family gets into a serious accident.

We got a used car from Billion in Bozeman, MT and we asked them to fix the door locks. They said all they had to do was put a fuse in. But when we could not get them to work from two month, we had someone check it out. It was found that the fuse was not working. When they pulled out the fuse, it was a 20-amp fuse and not a 15-amp fuse. We tired a new fuse, and it blew it out as soon as we hit the button.

I purchased a 2007 Buick Lucerne for my mother. The car has had some issues. I currently am deployed to Afghanistan. Now, the car is making noise from the transmission, a suspected plastic plate on the flex plate between the torque converter and flex plate. I have been told this may not be covered, even with a warranty. I am now on a limited budget and will be expected to pay about $2800.00 for another bad design. I am a mechanic in the Navy and find it hard to believe that a car with less than 55,000 miles should have this kind of trouble. I am asking for some help to correct this issue.

I bought my 2002 Buick Rendezvous in 2006. It had 43,000 miles on it. Not bad for a four-year-old car, or so I thought. The guy who sold it to me said it was their second car and did not use it much. I later think that he did not use it because it is not worth it! Within a month of purchasing the car, the driver's side window went out. I had that replaced, no biggie, I understand there are costs with cars. Then a year later, the air conditioner went out. I live in California and with temps over 100 degrees in the summer, my small children and I need air. The repair was just under $1,000. That repair lasted a year and a half. The air went out again. However, shortly after the air went out, so did the engine! To have the heads replaced, it was $3,500. I contacted Buick directly at that time and got the 'Oh, well, sorry you are having problems, but that's not our problem' response. In paying for the engine work, I could not afford the work on the air again. So, I have been without air and just try to drive as little as possible when it gets hot outside.

My husband purchased the Buick LaCrosse 2011, and most every time, I get out of the passenger side of the car, I hit my knee on the part of the dashboard that points out. I have so many injuries to my left knee, I can't tell you. Soon, as it heals up a little, I go in my husband's car, and hit it again. I tried adjusting the height and distance of the seat, but I don't want the seat to be way back, or someone adjusts it, and I forget to push it far back. I have never had anything like this with any car I was in, ever. I have a real dislike for this car, and I want him to give it back. I would like to know if anyone else has this problem with this car design.

The front dash of vehicle for no reason, other than the Florida sun, has come unglued and curves up so I can not see the road at times. I don't need an attorney yet. I would love to send you digital pics I have, as well as a camera film showing your dash has totally come apart.

I need a part replacement for an oil or transmission leak. It's not available according to dealership and on back order...for over a week. While not a large leak, the possibility exists it may increase and prohibit further driving. Buick is a 2010 Lucerne and is also ready for a recall which was to be performed simultaneously. Is it possible a company as large as GM cannot ship said part immediately? Further, Jim **, Dealer of Orchard Park NY should return my calls and at least let me know of progress or lack thereof.

The vehicle was approaching 95,000 km and I wanted to replace the spark plugs. I usually do this myself. I determined that the motor required rotation to access the rear plugs. I disconnect the motor mounts and crank over the motor with a crowbar. I spent $350.00 dollars for 6 spark plugs qualified my next vehicle to be rear wheel drive with the motor placed in the position that Jesus Christ intended motors to be. Probably a Chrysler 300 and GM can kiss my ***. They lost a lifelong customer.

Now that I know that the Buick Rendezvous is a money pit, I am certain that the dealer does not care about the quality and reliability of the cars it produces. I have sunk nearly 8,000 dollars into a 2002 Buick Rendezvous because I was locked into a car note and could not afford another car. Sad day when you want to buy American but the product is subpar to competitors.

I bought a 2010 Buick LaCrosse from Ewing Buick Plano, TX on 12/29/2010 off the showroom floor. Not being told that this car was in an accident totaling $5600.00 on 10/09/2009 on the right side of the car, 2 doors and front fender was replaced. I have located the body shop manager that was there at the time and he remembers the car and what happened to it. The owner of Ewing Buick loaned this car to his housekeeper to clean his house and his mother’s house at the time. She was in an alleyway and a homeowner came out of his driveway not seeing her and hit the LaCrosse on the passenger side. The car was repaired at Ewing Buick and then back out on showroom floor to sell.

I don't know how well those guys have road tested the 2011 Lacrosse v6 with the 18" wheels before they put it into production, but I can tell you they did not do a good job. I am one of the unlucky owners of the 2011 Lacrosse and I am completely disappointed with this supposed luxury vehicle. The main culprit is the terrible road noise coming from the wheels. On any surface that is slightly rougher than completely smooth asphalt, the noise is very excessive. We compared the road noise with a 2002 very used Nissan Altima and found noise in the Lacrosse to be much worse.

Buick Rendezvous 2002 needs to be recalled. This car already broke down with a leak in the intake, with only 58,000 miles. Apparently, this is a known issue with this car! This needs to be recalled!

I have a 1998 Buick Regal GS. I've owned it for 10 years. There was a recall to address a valve cover gasket that allowed oil to leak on to hot exhaust causing fires. The gasket was fixed. The car continues to leak oil onto the exhaust and the catalytic converter. Also the car cuts out when the turn signal is used. It restarts. But when it cuts out, power steering and brakes are inoperative. Many Buicks and GM vehicles do the same according to the NHTSA complaints. Why is there no recall? This is why people buy Japanese. We were told not to park the car in the garage or close to the house.

I purchased a Buick Lacross from Jim Burke used cars in August 2010 for $23,000. I was financed by Capital One for 18.6% interest, which was a ripoff because in September 2011, I still owed $23,745 where no reduction in principle at all. When trying to sell the car in 2011, it has a value of only $15,000 as I learned that I purchased a car that was used as a rental car and had 28,000 miles when purchased.

I purchased a 2002 Buick Rendezvous with less than 35,000 miles in August of 2010. With normal driving conditions, the car broke down on us while traveling out of town. The mechanic in Virginia Beach, VA said the car needed a new engine. Thinking that we may be taken advantage of, being a tourist, we had the car towed 2 1/2 hours back to our hometown, where our mechanic also said the engine was blown to the tune of over $4,000!

I own a 1998 Buick Skylark. The vehicle had 24,000 miles on it when I purchased it. It now has 117,000 miles on it. Two years ago, while I was driving the car, it just stopped on me. I was told that a camshaft was broken and that it would be easier to have the engine replaced instead of trying to fix the camshaft. I kept the vehicle maintained on a regular basis. I replaced at least 3 water pumps, 3 intake manifold gaskets, 2 EGR Valves, as well as other repairs. I didn't find out about the Dex-Cool recall until 2009 when the car stopped running. This explains why I had to replace water pumps, intake gaskets, and EGR valves so frequently. Is there any help for people like myself who can't afford to keep sinking money into cars in which the Dex-Cool product caused other problems?

At 76k miles, the radiator is faulty. The transmission fluid mixed with engine coolant. The radiator, all hoses, and lower intake manifold gaskets had to be replaced. The cost was $1500 and that was with discount. Also, the oxygen sensor had to be replaced (separate issue). The car is rusting and the paint is peeling off. What's really scary is that I had minimal indication of the radiator problem, no warning lights/check engine light went on. I just discovered fluid leaking on my driveway. The engine wasn't running bad. But had I not acted quickly, within another hundred miles my engine would have blown up had the fluid got in it. This is ridiculous for a car with only 76k miles on it. I paid almost $20k for this car. I used it in December 2005 and have only put 50k miles on it! I will never buy another GM car again, ever! It's sad too because my dad retired from GM. Next time, I am buying Japanese.

My 2006 Buick Lucerne has many issues. When getting in the car, the lite knob hits knee. Its seat plastic is cracked. The original tire has belt seam overlapped too far, causing thumping and air pressure notification to come on. One rim leaked due to flaking chrome and corrosion, its outside trim is coming loose.

My car needed some serious work, and has for several months. There is an issue with the GM model of engine in my Buick that was brought to my attention about a year ago, that resulted a class action suit against GM. It was described to me as a slow deterioration of something within the engine (I am not a mechanic and do not claim to be. However, I am in a technical field). I have been saving up the money to get the (1000 dollars plus) repair done. About 3 months ago, my car started overheating. I was told that it would take about $1000 to $1500 to fix. But they said that they could not tell me exactly without taking the engine apart, which would cost several hundred dollars. They showed me how to put coolant directly into the radiator to avoid damaging the engine, until I could afford to get it fixed. I did it daily. The car kept running until eventually it overheated enough to cause several leaks, so I took it to them to fix. Originally, I was told it would be $1000 to $1500 to fix. They tentatively gave me a ballpark figure. I would not hold them to an estimate when they had not looked at the engine. And that is not what this complaint is about.

I own a 2010 Buick LaCrosse. The passenger door came back and made an 8" gash in my 88-year-old mother's leg. She went to the emergency room and has spent a day and night in the hospital because of this. There is a chrome strip along the door that sticks out from the door, and this strip made the gash. The Buick dealer first told me he would fix the strip. But after speaking to the corporate office, he was told that he couldn't touch my car and couldn't do a thing!

I bought a Buick Century from my parents a couple of years ago. It was in tremendous condition, spotless. But in that period of time, the following has happened: The plastic gaskets GM uses in their vehicles deteriorated causing a major repair, the power windows failed, the catalytic converter went twice, I am told the anti-freeze used in these vehicles is faulty and is slowly eating away at the interior of the rubber hoses causing a horrible sludge problem in the radiator. And if all that isn't costly enough, the paint is literally falling off my beautiful car. Buick of course will do nothing, everything is out of warranty. I miss my Toyota vehicles that I easily got 200,000+ miles on with none of these horrible issues. I would never recommend or purchase a GM vehicle again. What a piece of **.

I have a 2003 Buick LeSabre and the top of the front dashboard has warped and lifted up and the seam separated. It is owned by my elderly aunt, Mary Brunini. I am told that this could affect the operation of the front airbags. It's as if the problem was caused by the sun. but his car has always been garage kept.

I am a retired aerospace machinist, who has worked in the research and development industry for my entire life. I also own a 2002 Buick Lasabre custom car. It has 54,000 miles. I have never seen such a waste of money and time, as in the design and quality of the power window mechanism in my Buick. Three out of the four windows have broken. Upon further inspection, it was obvious that they were non-repairable (Part # FRT-RH-BU 25713421). The engineer who designed this, and his boss who approved it, should both be Wal-Mart greeters, if they could qualify. This gives 'designed and made in America' a really bad name.

I have a 2004 Buick Rendevous with 43,000 miles. I am the original owner of the vehicle. The metal fuel lines and brake lines have rusted out. Extended warranty co and GM says there is nothing they can do. The cost to repair is close to $900.

The paint of my Buick is coming off in huge sheets. Local car, mild weather, no reason for this except that the GM paint job was faulty. GM provides nothing but an endless telephone run-around. GM finally tells me that they would knock $500 off the $5,000 paint job. Needless to say, a paint job that can only be done at GM.

I had a complaint about my 2006 Buick Rendezvous. With 61,000 miles and four years old, my transmission went out. The housing was cracked and came out in two pieces. I was going to take it out to a dealership and was told they will send it out anyway. I found out later that a month prior, it was no longer a GM dealership but I was never told at the time of the call. So, we took it to an independent. After paying $2,200, it was fixed and drove better than it ever has. We have had problems in the beginning with the transmission module and slipping.

I have a Buick regal I purchased from the Buick dealer, now the paint is peeling off in lawyers as big as sheet rock the wind picks up the paint. And it begins to peel like a soft shell crab most of the car is now primer from all the white paint peeling off how is this fair. I made payments with warranty but neither the dealer nor the Buick will honor their paint it’s a 1997 sad the leather int is perfect everything else on the car is fine except paint.

I have 2000 Buick regal LSE. I’ve replaced the power window regulators twice on the passenger side windows-front and rear. Also the air bag indicator light constantly fluctuates on and off. The front regulators cost $249.00 each, the rear $189.00 each. (I’ve replaced front and rear passenger each-twice. Expensive labor was $85.00 hr charged a total of 7 hours. A few months ago I was leaving the grocery store and a man reached through the window and tried to jack me. Also the airbag malfunction gives me anxiety.

I have a 2003 Buick Lasabre that dash is peeling off, it has been doing this around the window area for 3 or 4 years. Recently, it is doing the same thing on the drivers side of the dash, I would think this would interfere with the air bag. I took it in to the dealer and they refused to repair it, this seems to be a safety hazard that their workmen ship caused. I would think this would come under a federal safety regulation? I would greatly appreciate you looking into this matter for me.

Am writing this letter to you because I think you should be made aware of how the average GM owner is treated with a service issue. My name is Jack *** and have a 2007 Buick Lucerne that I purchased brand new from patriot Buick in Charlton, MA.The car itself has been wonderful. I compliment the engineers on the design. I must say the lack of care I have been shown both from the dealer and Buick customer service at best has been a terrible experience. My story is simple and I would think it should have been very easy to resolve.

I own a 2006 Buick Rendezvous w/ 42,000 miles that I have just taken to my mechanic to be inspected and checked because an engine light came on. They did an ECM scan and a P2761 code came up for the Torque converter on the transmission. I was stunned; I have never had a problem w/ any of my other cars, and have always had General Motors vehicles. I have had 3 Buicks and an Oldsmobile that span more than 25 yrs and never had anything like this before. The mechanic also explained if they had to "drop" my transmission to repair said problem, it could be very costly.

My mother is the owner of a 2000 Buick Lesabre. Presently, three of the power windows have suddenly stopped working. From reading other numerous complaints online from people all over the United States, it appears that these power windows are cheaply made. But it will cost around $400 - $500 per window to repair which my mother cannot afford. So we have to find another solution to her problem. But in the meantime, I wish a class action lawsuit could be started. Even though it would take a long time and probably the only winner would be the lawyer, I firmly believe Buick should be held accountable for their actions.

The service manager has tried everything possible and is an excellent representative of the dealership although my vehicle is not right. My 2008 Buick Enclave that I love had premature tire wear 3 and 4/32 all tires evenly worn. Dealership agreed to buy two tires and I buy two costing me 618.00 so much for G.M. price matching as advertised my problem six times to the dealer and even leaving it there for three days. It still shakes when I drove in with old tires it drove beautifully they are trying but my vehicle still vibrates. Dealership is great, love my Enclave but don't like the vibration they suggested. I drive it 500 miles and bring it back what's up with that suggestion. Any help or suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.

My engine on my 1998 Buick Park Avenue had to be replaced in 2004 because water got into the valves. They didn't know why. It cost me approximately $5000. Since then, the car was running OK and I only use it for leisure, driving approximately 5000 miles per year. Last week, I smelled an overheating/ burning water/ odor and after driving it about 5 miles, the engine light went from cool to hot very fast, and the car died. I checked the radiator and there was no water or coolant in the radiator or overflow container. I added a gallon of water and managed to get it home a mile and half later. Why this is happening, I don't know, but I sure hope I don't have problems with the engine. My engine had to be replaced, and now, I don't know what is wrong with the radiator/coolant system. Water/coolant is escaping from the radiator, not sure why or where it is leaking.

Catalytic converter failure 2001 Buick regal 4 times in 4 years will not cover under bulletin #05551. Because I did not save them. Did not know about bulletin nor did dealerships in area. When informing ED bozarth dealership (Grand Junction Co. 81504) about bulletin 05551 was told my problem, I had to deal with G.M. them were not a G.M. representative.

Initially, the weather-stripping around the windshield blew off at 65 mph. I can deal with that. Every year, when the ambient temperature goes above 90 degrees, the air conditioner quits. It will shut the car down for at least 2 hours. Amazingly enough, the highly trained lugnuts at Brown could not recreate my problem on four visits to their shop. This year, after the heat spurt in early April, the air and blower fan have stopped entirely, along with the radio, windows, back hatch, door locks.

A few weeks ago, I was driving and my floor mat became stuck underneath my accelerator, nearly causing me to rear end the vehicle in front of mine. Luckily, I was able to move it down with my foot before impact. This then happened again--same situation. These are factory floor mats on my 2006 Buick Terraza, which I bought from Bob ** in Seymour, IN, in August 2006. The car was previously a "demo" car, prior to my owning it.

I have owned two Buicks. I love the luxury, the ride and the car, but I have the power windows. Even my mechanics have told me that Buicks are the absolute worst when it comes to windows. I am replacing the fourth motor in my car (which has 60,000 miles on it). My previous Buick has window issues as well. My mother owned a Buick and told everyone that unless the car was under water and people were drowning, no one was to open any of the windows.

In December 2004, I purchased a 2005 Buick Terraza and had the vehicle less than two years when I spent significant time going back and forth with the dealer's service department regarding issues I was experiencing with my vehicle. For starters in June/July 2006, I took my car in because of a noise and vibration when driving at all speeds. After approximately three visits, I was told I had four bad tires and they were replaced (which I thought great at the time, problem solved). Additionally, I complained that I had issues with my sliding doors not closing. I continue to have problems with this to this day. The instruments lights, overhead buttons, gasoline, etc. were only half lit, not lit at all or fully lit (a mixture). Also, when attempting to start my car it would not always start (hardly ever on the first try) when I turned my key. I was told that that was because it was an electric start and that certain things had to line up and it was an issue that was being worked on. I continue to have that problem, only now it makes a grinding noise.

I purchased 2002 Rendezvous in 2002. It began in the second year, I could not believe that I would be replacing the radiator and condenser assembly. Each year following, I was shelling out major bucks in repairs. Each year, there was something wrong with either the heat or the air conditioner. From replacing sensors, thermostat to water pumps. Each year I have had to replace the brakes and rotors and had the hub bearing replaced once. In 2009, I began to have problems with the engine and electrical. I had the head gaskets replaced and once again, problems with heat and replaced the blower motor resistor.

My Buick Rendezvous stalls while driving, or car will not start. In the past two years my radio would freeze up or my wipers would not turn off sporadically. I purchased my 2002 Buick Rendezvous used but with only 26K miles. Two out of four years of having this car, I have been having repeated problems with it not starting, service lights flashing, stalling, and completely not turning over at times.

I have a 2003 Buick Century with the 3.1 with fewer than 70,000 miles. The heater would not work correctly. We went to our mechanic and were told that Dex Cool damaged the manifold gasket and it had to be replaced at a cost of $650. I received a class action letter approximately 1 or 2 years ago about the class action suit. At that time, we did not have any problems with our Buick. I did not send in the paperwork for the lawsuit due to not having a problem. We just had the repairs this week. I read you article and noticed that the deadline has passed. Is there anything that can be done?

The problem is intake manifold gasket leak at 45,038 mileage of a 2002 Buick Century (car new 7/02 and well maintained). I wonder if there is a recall or "secret" (or other) warranty on this equipment.

I have a 2002 Buick Rendezvous CXL. It has had cooling system problems which I cannot seem to resolve. I have had the intake gasket changed after recommendations by two different service stations. I paid hundreds of dollars to do this. I have also paid to have the cooling system checked for leaks and have been told there are none. My car has now reached a point where I can't use air conditioning without my car overheating. I am flushing the radiator today and replacing the coolant with a different brand after seeing all of the complaints about Dex-Cool. I have noticed the rust colored sludge in my overflow container and am wondering if I, like many other GM car owners, am being affected by this poor product. I am a nursing student and barely getting by. I can't afford to keep repairing my vehicle. My transmission is now shifting really hard and I am worried if it is being affected by this.

I have owned three late model Buick LeSabres including a 1988 in 1993, a 1997 in 1998 and a 2002 since 2003. My wife and I drive at normal speeds and do not stress the car with rapid acceleration. We maintain the cars very well with oil changes every 3000 miles, etc. All three spun a main bearing when the cars had only 50,000 to 65,000 miles requiring engine replacement. What is that about?

When getting my 1995 Buick Century car serviced at the Concord Chevrolet dealer, it has been found that there is oil in the coolant reservoir. This is due to the oil intermixed with coolant, leaking from a faulty intake manifold. The intake has to be resealed, rubber coolant hoses have to be replaced, radiator, heater cores and engine block have to be cleaned. The estimated cost of the repairs is $2,100.

I’ve just bought one of these lemon cars, a Buick 2003 Regal in Sept ‘08 and I am mad, hurt and want to get my money back or class action suit. I do not trust them repairing any car. This is all wrong and they knew it when they sold all these cars. They have put me and my family in danger.

Coolant from my 2002 Buick Rendezvous (with less than 70K) disappears from coolant tank (intake or heads). Radiator went out last year. The A/C condenser went out 2 years ago. It had no heater for two years. Front bearings are making noise (falls under a recall). Battery has gone out more times than I can count. Car won't start from time to time. I was told BCM problem. It had a lifter noise from time to time. When turning from a stop, sometimes the traction control light comes on and car will not accelerate (very dangerous new problem). The gas gauge of course works only from time to time. The electrical problems are too long to list them all. I had no major accidents, minor scrapes only. Junk! The car for the last 2 1/2 years can only be driven short distances to avoid overheating due to the coolant loss.

My car is a 1996 Buick Regal GS. The recall was for 1997? There was something on CNN about the recall on the 1997 (I missed the program, my daughter-in-law called me this morning to tell me about it). After going online, I saw this report to fill out and was hoping to be contacted about my vehicle that caught fire in Oct. 2007. I called a Buick company in Metairie, LA and they said they no longer have parts to fix the car (the fuel lines that burned). So, I bought another part that I also needed that burned. Now a year plus, I still can't find out how to get my car fixed (I'm on SS and cannot afford a whopping repair bill and can't seem to get any answers). Please, if you can assist me in any way to get GM to fix my car, I would appreciate it. B\I bet I am not the only owner of a 1996 Buick GS that had the fire problem. Also, my engine is a 3.8. Thank you.

I owned a 1999 Buick Regal and had only one payment left on the vehicle. In 2003, I drove it to church, went inside, and the car caught fire. It burned everything in the engine compartment. I had to get a rental car and wait for insurance company to settle. Once paid by the insurance company, which was not enough to get another vehicle of equal quality, I had to add money to that to get another car. GM has just issued a recall for this very reason. I find it absurd that a parked vehicle caught fire and no one (Insurance, GM) saw the need to investigate. With only one payment left, I more than paid for this vehicle, not to mention taxes and insurance costs only to lose it with very little compensation. I'm sure it has been too long to do anything about this now but I wanted to at least voice my complaint.

We bought a 2001 Buick Regal (new). We purchased an extended warranty to 75,000 miles. At 78,000, the transmission went out - we were told that maybe GM would help us if we got it to the dealer.. Then, they said, nope, they couldn't help. Cost $4,000. Then at 101,000, the catalytic converter plugged and caused extensive damage to the sum of about $2200. Now, we figure in the seven years we have had this car, it has cost us at least $400 a month - not including new brakes and tires.. Ridiculous.. Never another GM product.. I have all he paperwork and am a very unhappy customer of GM..

My 1991 Buick Riviera's driver's side seat belt suddenly won't lock. It appears clean, but if something happens I am going to sue Buick this is ridiculous. I depend on this car and no one at Buick seems to give a damn. I was told no one could fix this and I don't believe it for a second.

I bought a 2002 Buick Lesabre. Shortly after receiving the car I had a problem with the driver's window. They replaced the motor. It happened again within a year and they replaced it again. Two years later the front passenger failed which I had to replace. In 2007 the rear driver side failed. Again, $700 to replace yet another motor. Now in 2008, the rear passenger side window has failed. All four motors failing (some multiple times) means there is a design problem. I previously owned two Mazda's, one for 12 years and one for 10 years, and never once had to replace a window motor. GM knows about the issues and are letting us foot the bill, while their repair centers reap the benefits of increased business.

My 1998 Buick Lesabre 3.8 motor (85000 miles) with a plastic intake manifold created a leak of coolant into the pistons due to corrosion and break-down of the plastic between ports. The motor locked up with the fluid on top of the pistons. Without knowing that this is a common problem we went on to dismantle the heads and had them checked. Only then it was suggested by the little head shop that we check the intake manifold. Not a word from GM on this ongoing problem although a dealer stocked 20 manifolds in the Parts Dept. WHY ISN'T THE CONSUMER PROTECTED WITH AT LEAST A RECALL IF GENERAL MOTORS, WITH ALL THEIR WISDOM, CAN'T CHANGE THE PLASTIC TO A METAL MANIFOLD?

This will be the third regulater that is being fix in my car window. I just replaced it in July and now it is broke again. I have another buick that has had the same problem with the power windows. The window was fixed in July and hardly ever used since then and now it won't go up again.

Plastic manifold broke down (steam was coming out from under the hood) and needed to be replaced

Buick has 26250 miles driving west on Intertate 76 in Colorado, all of a sudden the right rear window goes down. Can't roll it up. Went to GO Buick in Denver, Co. and repaired for %585.00 for the one window. While there two other person brought their cars in for the same problem. Have talked to two other persons who have had same problem. One had two windows go and the other all 4 windows go. Now this is extremely poor product. I looked at the window assembly and it relies on small pieces of plastic to keep the metal cables together. Junk

Sir, A fan belt needed to be changed out, on my wifes 97 Park Ave.A job that should take about 10 minutes, can not be done without removing the front motor mount! Older Park Ave. this problem happens if you have a water pump problem. You would think that with all of the resources G.M. has, there engineers could design an easier way to remove these parts so repairs could be made less expensive and quicker. ow would you like to be stranded because of a simple fan belt in the middle of no where?????

From month one on this vehicle alarms and key not working properly. Then the next months coolant not holding and leaking and after warranty 100,000 the window clips continue to break tires wear and hard to get Air and heat not working motors out and condensor, and now the big one inthe last 3 months motor overheating so gaskets were replaced hoses belts and flushing of the dexcool that may have caused this $2000 then 3 days later the power cords from battery about caught on fire were shredded and sparking so I took it back $400 more and 3 days later engine knocking well guess what now the engine was blown it took him 2 and a half weeks and me calling to check up I even paid the towing. I am not saving taking it back to the dealer with this loss for a new engine I dont trust what will happen next. This company does big work on engines and I wanted to get it done right away but my 699 I saved should of went tothe dealer at least they would o payed the towint each time as Daves is costly I dont know whom to blame but it will be at Jaggers in Lebanon to do the work now and many days and walking Jaggers 7654823515 GM has many complaints and we will file onthe dexcoolant that caused this it comes up in a few days what a mess GM has made

Transmition filter and pump quit on our return trip from Indiana, had this fixed, now the transmittion is starting to slip. vehicle only has 33200. What's going on with this quality vehicle? Buick Rendezvous 2003P

We have had trouble with the car over heating.First,they replaced the thermstat & cap, flushed the radiator out.Then intake manifold gasket had to be replaced. My car is a 2003, Buick,Rendenous With not a lot of miles on it.We are still having problem's,I paid out 850.50 so far and I truthfully can't keep doing this. Could you tell me what to do about this? I need someone help

Still traveling at a high rate of speed we came down in the middle of the driveway and shot forward hitting the curb, bending my right front rim and going around 2 more large trees. We were now headed straight for the church building. I managed to steer the car so we did not hit the church building head on. We still hit it quite hard and my wife's head cracked the windshield. The car shot off the church building and was headed for a large cross on the church lawn. I steered around the cross and 2 large pine trees and was back in the parking lot where I managed to bring the car to a stop. My wife got an acute concussion and our car was totaled out. We received only $1,400 for the car, even though it was in very good condition before the accident.

I purchased a 2001 Buick LeSabre new and have had few mechanical issues. BUT I have replaced 2 window regulators so far and have another one that recently went bad. I decided to try to replace this one myself to avoid the cost of hiring a certified mechanic. So I searched the Web in hopes of finding some instructions on replacing the regulator. Much to my surprise, I am finding lots of other consumers who are having the same problem with this General Motors product. I have been unable to locate a recall and don't understand why not.

I submitted all documentation necessary to prove the car fire of my 1997 Buick Regal including pictures during and after the fire. A recall was issued 2 weeks after my car burned on March 31, 2008. My file number is 654908. The vin on my car is 2g4wf5216v1464610. I was informed today that after the attorneys for GM looked at my claim they turned it down because they couldn't access the car. My insurance company has the car. Also supporting with affidavits of the fire damage. They also sited the Economic loss rule which apparently says that if I only suffered economic loss not injury or property damage that they were not responsible. They will be sending me by mail a more detailed version of the reasons I was turned down on my claim against them.

I purchased a new 2002 Buick Regal July 24, 2002. All four window regulator's have malfunctioned. The first one, drivers window failed first and it was covered by an extended warranty for the amount of $621.43. I believe the mileage was prior to 75000 because that was max on the warranty that was sold to me along with the new car warranty that ran concurrently. Strange I thought. Anyway, on June 30, 2008 the second window regulator went out. Auto had 109234 mileage and the cost was again $621.43 that I paid. On June 26th, the third window went down. I checked the fourth window, and it would not roll up or down. That told me it was going down also. I called the mechanic at the Buick Dealership who takes care of the car, expressed I did not have the $ to have the window fixed. On June 30th, I took the car in and had him raise the window and secure at the amount of $84.23. I have the fourth window locked. Bottom line is, two windows are not operable and I am out $84.23. When I get the money I will be out $1,242.86 to go along with the $84.32. Mileage is at 110948. I have spoken with GM Customer Service in Detroit. That is to no avail. Why can't GM fix the window regulator part from falling apart? This fee of repair is absolutely highway robery.

Buick (2007 Lucerene-New) Brake problems -rotars and pads relaced once on Bumper to Bumper warranty. 10,000 miles later they need replaced or cut at my expense. Also tires worn out at less than 20,000 miles which Buick would not replace under bumper to bumper warranty.Firestone/ Bridgestone stated that Buick is buying a cheaper grade tire than what is available in the same design at Firestone Stores.

I too had engine problems with my 1997 Buick Century. One september cold morning with plenty of snow on the ground my car stopped on me as I was taking it to the college to be repaired and they told me I needed a carborator which cost me about 200.00 But before that I had other engine problems that same year which cost me more than 800.00 in repairs at David's Auto Repair Service, LLC. Now I'am having engin problems all over again and this is all within a two year span of time. I thought it was my thermostat because the needle moves very close to the right that warns me that my car is running hot.It did the same thing last year with thermostat but it wasn't my thermostat that needed repairs but the engine. I believe that GM knew all along this would be the case. What has happended to justice for all and accountability for one's actions. With no-fault divorce and no-fault insurance, I'm not supprised we have no-accountability. Why bother with elections when there's not enough blame to go around. Is anyone listening and does anybody care?.

1999 Buick Regal GS. GMC Lacks Accountability in all they do. I discovered a value leak and brought the car into our local mechanic 2 years ago (2006) to get fixed. We take care of our vehicles with regular maintenance. March 2008 Buick determined their value cover oil leak is a safety issue that could cause fires - Recall #07035. We followed the recall instructions and brought the car into the Buick Dealership for repair. We learned the recall item had already repaired by our mechanic by in 2006. But Buick continued to repair the valve cover that was already fixed (go figure) and they (Buick) broke the valve cover and forced me to pay for the new cover noting I was responsible for payment of the part they broke. Yep, cause I went somewhere convenient to my home for something BUICK would not have paid for 2 years ago, it was my fault their mechanic broke my car because my mechanic had worked on it at 101,000 miles (this is very sad... no accountability to their people)! I appealed this decision to GMC and submit for reibursement for the original work done by my mechanic as well as the valve cover they broke. I had all the receipts and documentation on what was repaired and when. GMC reviewed my claim and they agreed completely that I should be reibursed and approved Full payment. In fact, they called me to advise me I would be fully reimbursed for all of my costs! I should receive a check in 2 to 3 weeks. That was in May 2008. Today I recieved a voicemail that GMC reversed their decision to reimburse for full cost incurred due to a recall of your Buick. Nevermind that this was a huge safety risk - they would only pay for one specific value something or other... wishy washes technical detail. You can either fix the leak or not! But in the end, I am not clear why they changed their mind, and they admit they changed their mind, reducing the full payment of $523 down to $142. And of course I will receive a check in 2 to 3 weeks again... I have been dealing with this for 2 months now. I can understand why they are struggling to survive as a company. I was a 30 year customer... but no more... They need to own their problems and learn to be accountable. The public will not put up with this type of customer service any longer. Not to mention, the stress and concern it placed on us driving this car until the identified how they were going to fix it!

What did not happen? Purchased used 1997 LeSabre Ltd in 2003 only to have a computer module go costing me $500+ to repair before the car was registered. After that a series of electrical problems where all lights go on by themselves. Then a plastic head gasket failure costing me $800. Finally the frame broke and I called it quits.

Traction control Stability sytem fails. I have a 2005 Buick Terraza with 44000 miles while driving down the road the traction control kicks in and the van will slam on its brakes by itself. I took it to a local shop that charged me to look at then said he could not fix it i would have to take it to buick he also said this is common in this van. I looked up on the internet and found out lots of people have the same problem so I called buick they said there is no recall I told them they can look on the internet out of all the people haveing this problem. They told me to take it to a dealership I told him I do not have a 100.00 dollars to spend to have it just looked at I was told there is nothing they can do. SO I am stuck with a van that should be recalled because I am not the only one haveing this problem. BUICK SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR THIS . It could Kill someone thats must be what buick wants till they admit they made a mistake when they built these vans.

After coming home from an eight day stay in two hospitals (August of 2007), I was with my wife to get my medicine. We came out of Walgreens and our 1999 Buick Park Avenue would not turn over. All the dash lights would come on and nothing more. We called the dealer we had bought it from in April of 2007(a non GM dealer) and he had it towed to their repair facility. After they examined the engine, they informed me that the intake manifold had failed and had leaked into the engine, basically ruining everything the coolant had come in contact with.

I called to complain that my 2007 Buick Lucerne after only 45000 miles had all four brake rotors warped. I felt that for the top of the line car the Lucerne is and for the high cost of the car, this was poor design that for such low mileage these would warp. I felt that they should replace my rotors under the 50000 mile warranty, in spite of the normal wear and tear clause.

97 buick park avenue stalled. Had towed to shop. Mechanic informed that intake gasket had failed and needed to be replaced. Cost to me was over $800.

I purchased a used 1999 Buick Century in 2000. Since that time I had to replace melted gaskets at over $400, the car continued to overheat and I continued to have it serviced although nothing could be found. Finally 2 1/2 years ago, I had to have the cylinders in the engine resurfaced to the tune of $1500 because of the overheating. I now own a 2005 LaSabre and pray it will not have the same problems. My son purchased the 1999 Buick Century from me and continues to have major overheating problems with it as well as radiator problems. I would very much like to be involved in any class action suit and so would my son. I have a friend who does to. Hopefully I will be contacted.

I am financing a 2004 Buick Rendevenous, navigation systems, onstar, fully loaded that i purchased from Walsh Dodge, in Jersey City, NJ. My problem, 2 weeks since I purchase the suv, the check engine light came on. I have been to service for over 5 times. i was going at least every 2-3 weeks since september. i have not been since the end of januuary. They replace the gas cap, fixed a pin hole at buick service center. did this and did that, the light would stay off for a week or two and come back on. the light is still on right now. there may not be any major problem with the car, but i'm not sure. i asked for an equal trade the answer was no, i would have to pay the off the car and than refinance another car. the suv is nice, i like it but what about the check engine light, i don't know what to do. my family has brought over 5 cars from walsh dodge even when the company was daewoo we purchased cars, that how long it has been.

ok I bought a used 1998 buick regal gs last summer 2007, I had it less then a month and had to replace the ignition switch, Christmas 2007 wife was shopping and had a pulley freeze up and took out four pulleys and two belts, new alternator, the wiper stop in the upright position, GM had same problem on the 1997 Buicks. Just had a recall on a intake manifold issue. and this morning, 4-23-08 water pump. so far in less then a years time I have put $1300.00 dollars into this car, I love the ride and preformance, but I feel GM knew about some of these issues and have ignored them. And they wonder why we Americans are buying cars the Japanese. I have many more issues with the car but I am just blowing off steam, I am sure nothing will every come of this. I just wish GM would fess up and help pay for things they screwed up.

Illuminated display showing the odometer, trip odometer, outside temperature and direction of travel is readable only part of the time. I have written to you twice plus had the service department at the Buick dealership attempt to make correction without correting the problem. A more complete explanation will come to you by U.S. mail. The vehicle is a 2007 Buick LaCrosse leased February 2007.

I have had to replace two windo motors on my buick regal, 2002, at 400.00 per window and now anotherone has gone out in the same year.dealer refuses to replace it at no charge this is defenatly a defect

I have two GM vehicles. One is a 2002 Buick Century which cost me about 1000.00 to repair the intake gaskets that where damaged by the coolant. My other is a 2002 Express Van which is currently waiting for intake repairs from the coolant which rotted the gaskets

I have had to replace the intake manifold, because of loss of coolent, on my 1999 Buick century car and now I will have to replace again because the coolent has started leaking again. The odor inside and out side of the car is very strong. I did not buy extra insurance and in 2003 I was told by the Buick Dealer that I would be resposible for the repair, which I did have the small piece changed. I am a senior citizen and to have to keep paying thousands of dollars for this repair is very damaging to me.

I bought my 2002 Buick Century in 2003. We have had to have the radiator flushed several times because of the gunk. Recently, the coolant light came on and my husband took the car in to have the radiator flushed again. The gentleman said he couldn't do it and that the car had an intake manifold leak. He said that GM cars have a problem with that due to the Dex product and that if we didn't address it immediately it would ruin the engine.

I have a 1998 Buick Century. I have paid $900 so far to fix the cooling system, manifold gaskets etc. It has been back two more times with leaks. It's in the shop right now. Dexcool sucks!!

I bought my 2003 Buick in 2004, it had 14,000 miles on it. At 14,800 I had to have new rotors put on the front, dealer said it wasn't covered because someone rode the brakes and gas pedal at the same time, I have never done that. At 58,000 had to have gas tank fixed, it kept leaking. Since 58,000 my tail lights have not worked properly. I turn my left blinker on and the hazards come on, use my right blinker and brake light doesn't work. I just quit using my blikers. Now at 65,000 I just spent over $1000.00 getting a new manifold and gaskets put in. I will NEVER but another GM product!

I own a 2003 Buick Rendezvous and had the intake manifold gasket replaced and now have a blown head gasket. The vehicle has 77k miles on it! Dex Cool is the problem and the Dex Cool warranty listed in GM's manufacturer's booklet is false. I have filed a complaint with the PA Attorney General.

Got the letter about the upcomming recall cocerning the fire hazard on my Buck Regal about 10 days ago. Today my son drove my 1999 Buick Regal to school. After he tured the car off and went into the school it caught fire. Luckily, none of the students were hurt not any other structure, but my car is gone. Reported to Buick and waiting on a return call to be advised what to do.

The white paint on my 1997 Buick Century is peeling off, leaving huge grey circles. It looks terrible. Checking online, I see this is a fairly common problem with many Buicks of certain years. My family has always sworn by these cars. My mother drives a park avenue. But I'll think twice before ever buying another Buick.

i own a 2002 buick rendevous. because of dex cool my intake manifold gasket needs replacing. this is a $800-$1000 job. I am a auto parts delivery driver. every other day i pull into different shops and what do i see in the air, a buick. A buick rendevous is always in a shop. I ask why, they say intake manifold is leaking due to dex cool.

My 1995 Buick Park Avenue upon starting with a loud explosion under the hood caught on fire immediately on the left side. The plastic manifold had exploded from a backfire. The car was in very good mechanical running condition and have not experience a backfire previously. This set the gas line on fire which is plastic going under the cowl over the heater spreading very rapidly. Also checking with a repair garage nearby, they had similiar problem a GM 3800 plastic manifold exploding ,only the holddown bolts was left. Also almost all of the GM 3800 engines have coolant leakage through the plastic manifold. There is several instances listed on NHTSA site.

Not only have I had the problem with the leaking oil situation in my 1998 Buick Regal GS, which could lead to a fire, but my Drivers Information Center (which tells you crucial information regarding the car) totally went out. I was told that this is a common thing to happen with a Buick Regal with either the center totally going out or dimming from time to time.

My car is leaking oil on the hot muffler but it is not the years for this recent recall 97-2007. Maybe it goes back to earlier models?
