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.
Electrical system in malfuncted. Turn signals did not work, ABS light, and door lock light were coming on. Checked fuses and they were fine. Didnot contact dealer because warranty expired.
Dome light is so dim that it is unuseable....head restraints are too low. Won't extend to proper height for protection....power door lock (driver side) stopped working. Key won't work either. Have to enter from passenger side....passenger side power door lock also stopped working about a month after the driver side went out....gas gaauge is deceptive. Very inaccurate. Changes when moving and when stoipped.....storage/glove box between front seats locked itself and wouldn't open. Had to break it open to retrieve medicine needed.
The motor in question was replaced by the dealer 14 months ago at 50000+ miles and has failed once again after approximately 30 times of use. I contacted the dealer for assistance in replacement and was given no assistance other than referral to the district rep for Buick. He informed me that (as a consumer he agreed the part should not fail so quick) but since the vehicle was out of warranty, Buick had no responsibility to repair therefore, he could not approve the repair. I feel the failures are premature and that Buick should repair at no expense to the consumer.
