First recall was on the window swith in driver door. Second recall was on the lights and as of now they still do not have the parts to fix it. Before I got the recall notice we went and had it fixed and we had to pay for that. They dont seem to be to concerened about our saftey or it woul already be fixed.now only back passenger dorr can be opened from the outside all the other doors messed up at the same time and they want $500 to fix two doors really.

My recall was Jan 2015 that low beam head lights goes off. Mine are off all the time. No parts available so they want me to pay for repairs. If repairs are available then why do they pay to fix. Bill app.300.00 can not drive night only have high and fog lights. Have talked to royal Buick hoover al. And head man steven senior advisior at Buick. He said he would help. All he did was call royal and they said $105 for diagnasit plus repairs. I am on social security and small ret. From county. Can not afford. Second recall on this car. If I have a wreck and hurt some one or me hope they can pay bills thank you for listening bless you.

The heated seat got hot and was unable to turn off. The leather seat burnt through from the heating unit or wire to the heating element. The dealership said it is not their problem so it is not fixed. There is no longer power to the seat.

Drivers door window screeches when lowered, stops half way when raised. Has become worse over the past month. Now I must try helping it by hand while pushing the up button..now I am afraid to lower window for fear of not being able to get it to raise.

Short circuit in electrical system caused overheating which caused door locks and power windows to smoke, produce odor in car and show signs of fire damage on door. All warning signs were lit on dashboard. Car wouldn't start for over 24 hours. When it did we drove it to a dealer. Upon driving, all bells and whistles were going while driving. This particular problem has been recalled as of August 2012, id # 90864. I was told that my particular VIN number wasn't included and I think it should be. I would like to be reimbursed.
