This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
1 month old it developed a vibration/shimmy in the steering and felt on the floor of the care that could be felt by driver and passenger. Shimmy started when accelerating and turning and progressed to also when acceleration when driving straight ahead. It is now 9 months old and I can feel while driving on the highway at higher speeds. Dealer contacted Buick for advice since they were unsure what was causing the vibration, told to replace front axil but was no better. Continued to request repair but dealership and Buick, stated cause of problem unkown and no fix is in development. Told it was a "characteristic of the vehicle": the vibration-shimmy is getting worse and I am fearful of a catastrophic failure of whatever part/parts are faulty. Faulty parts or design could cause a serious accident when traveling at high speed or when the car is in motion at any speed. Additional documentation available but unable to upload will supply if needed.
