ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY STILL INTACT I HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON SEVERAL TIMES. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING AND HAD IT RESET. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS I HAVE HAD IT COME ON MORE FREQUENTLY SINCE THEN AND NOW IT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER A YEAR. WITH FRUSTRATING AMOUNTS OF TIME SPENT TO TRY TO DETERMINE WHAT THE ISSUE IS I FINALLY FOUND OUT THE TIMING CHAIN AND SEALS NEED TO BE REPLACED. ONE OF THE SYMPTOMS IS THAT THE OIL IN MY CAR IS NOT BEING DISTRIBUTED PROPERLY. THIS WOULD ALSO BE ONE OF THE REASONS I HAVE HAD TO ADD OIL BEFORE EVERY 3000 MILE OIL CHANGE BECAUSE ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR WILL START RUNNING HARD AND ACCELERATION IS HARDER. MANY TIMES I WOULD ONLY PUT 1500 MILES ON MY CAR AND MY OIL WOLD BE BONE DRY. PUT OIL IN AND IT GETS BETTER. IF I WOULDNT HAVE HAVE CAUGHT THIS MY ENGINE WOULD SURELY HAVE BEEN BLOWN. SO NOW 3 YEARS LATER I AM STUCK WITH THIS ISSUE WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOUND WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AS ALL THE SAME ISSUES WERE OCCURRING THEN AND NOW. I CANT SEEM TO ACCESS MY BUICK ACCOUNT ONLINE SURPRISINGLY BUT IT DID HAVE ALL MY SERVICE RECORDS PROVING MY ATTEMPTS WITH THEM. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY ISSUE, I KNOW THAT THE SAME VEHICLE JUST WITH A SAMLLER ENGINE HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME THING. WHY NOT THE BIGGER ENGINE? I NOW HAVE A $2000 REPAIR TO MAKE NOT INCLUDING THE SEVERAL HUNDRED IT TOOK TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE THAT IS HAPPENING IN BUICKS OF THIS AGE AND NEWER BECAUSE IT IS HAPPENING ALOT.I HAVE MANY SERVICE RECEIPTS SHOWING THE PROCESS OF THIS AND ALSO THE DIAGNOSIS TODAY AND THEONE I WILL BE GETTING TOMORROW TO CONFIRM AND WILL BE GLAD TO FORWARD ON TO YOU IF NEEDED.

STEERING
MY 2006 BUICK LACROSSE HAS A SQUEALING , MOANING NOISE, COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN, FOR 2 YRS NOW. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE & MORE, VERY HARD TO STEER. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I CAN'T STEER IT ANY LONGER , A BAD ACCIDENT. I'VE HAD IT LOOKED AT 4 TIMES, NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. UPON LOOKING AT THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, ON-LINE, I SEE IT COULD BE THE STEERING BOX, LINE, OR R & P. WHY HASN'T GM RECALLED THIS PROBLEM, SINCE THEY KNOW ABOUT IT?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR HAS RECENTLY HAD REDUCED BATTERY POWER AND STRONG BURNING SMELL IN THE BACK SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEMS WITH RECALL 13V173000. HOWEVER, MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS INSPECTED AND THE PART WAS DETERMINED TO BE FINE, HOWEVER, NOW IT WOULD SEEM AS THOUGH MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED, AS IT IS NOW EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I DON'T HAVE TANGIBLE EVIDENCE BECAUSE I DIDN'T DRIVE IT LONG ENOUGH FOR THE TRUNK TO CATCH ON FIRE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2008 BUICK WAS RECALLED BY BUICK FOR SAFETY RECALL 14291 AS INSTRUCTED I MADE AN APPOINT AT CENTRAL BUICK IN NORWOOD MA FOR 08:00 1/11/17 ON ARRIVAL THEY TOOK MY PAPERS AND DECIDED THEY COULDN'T DO THIS SAFETY RECALL ON THE HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THE CAR HAD A "BRANDED TITLE". I BOUGHT THIS CAR 5 YEARS AGO AND IT DOES HAVE A RECONSTRUCTED TITLE IN MASS DUE TO A PRIOR ACCIDENT THAT WAS FIXED AND INSPECTED PRIOR TO MY BUYING THE CAR. I DON'T SEE WHY BUICK REFUSED TO REPLACE THIS RELAY. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS REFUSE TO WORK DUE TO THIS DEFECTIVE RELAY. I HAVE TWICE REPLACED THIS RELAY WITH STANDARD REPLACEMENT PARTS ONLY TO HAVE THEM AGAIN FAIL. PLEASE REVIEW AND ADVISE UPDATED 07/13/2017*JS
