EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY KEEPS MELTING AND THEN THE HEADLIGHTS (LOW & HIGH BEAM) DO NOT COME ON. I REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS ABOUT 6X UNTIL I CALLED THE GM DEALERSHIP AND THEY EXPLAINED THIS IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FROM GM FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. I DID FILE A COMPLAINT WITH GM BUT THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO AND I NEED TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED MYSELF. THE LIGHTS GO OUT COMPLETELY WHEN DRIVING AND THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. I DON'T WANT TO HURT MYSELF OR ANYONE DUE TO HAVING NO HEADLIGHTS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON GOOGLE FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE YET GM WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. PLEASE HELP. I AM ON A BUDGET AND SIMPLY CANT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED WHEN IT SHOULD BE GM'S RESPONSIBILITY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHEN STARTING MY CAR, POWER STEERING SERVICE ESC WAS SHOWN ON MY MESSAGE CENTER AS MY CAR BEEPED TO ALARM ME OF THE MESSAGE AS WELL AS I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND COULD NOT TURN MY WHEEL. I LOOKED UP ON THE INTERNET WHAT THAT MESSAGE MEANT AND SAW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUES ON PREVIOUS YEARS OF THE SAME VEHICLE BUT THAT 2010 ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. ONLINE IT STATED TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THEN TRY AGAIN. I DID SO AND MY CAR STARTED AND THE MESSAGE WAS GONE AND MY POWER STEERING WAS BACK (AS NORMAL). EVERY TIME I START MY CAR THE SAME MESSAGE COMES ACROSS. ALTHOUGH, IT'S BEEN ABOUT A WEEK SINCE THIS ORIGINALLY STARTED AND IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW AND TAKES 4 OR 5 TIMES FOR ME TO SHUT MY CAR OFF AND RESTART IT BEFORE IT "GOES BACK TO NORMAL". ALSO, WHEN I'M DRIVING MY CAR VEERS TO THE LEFT PRETTY BADLY AND I HAVE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL CROOKED TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. THERE'S ALSO A KNOCKING NOISE ON THE DRIVER SIDE THAT ALSO WAS STATED TO BE APART OF THE RECALL ON PREVIOUS YEARS. MY CAR STARTED SMELLING LIKE IT WAS BURNING TODAY AND I'M WONDERING IF IT'S PART OF THE ELECTRICAL/STEERING ISSUES THAT MY CAR IS HAVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. :(

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING, UNEXPECTEDLY, AN ERROR WILL APPEAR STATING THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING. AT THIS TIME, THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING WHICH MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. AT THE SAME TIME, A "SERVICE ESC" CODE APPEARS ALSO AND IT AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEEDS WHICH POSES A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL INFORMATION AT THIS TIME FOR THIS VEHICLE. SOME INSTANCES HAVE INCLUDED THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY OR THE TAIL LIGHTS NOT ILLUMINATING WHILE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON. THIS IS ALSO A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE IS PAID OFF AND EXPENSES HAVE BEEN INCURRED BY THE OWNER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE ISSUE IS RECURRING. THE REPAIR CENTER CANNOT SEEM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT DUE TO THE LARGE SAFETY CONCERNS THAT THESE ISSUES POSE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE OWNER SHOULD CONTINUE TO ACCRUE COSTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN THE PROBLEM ULTIMATELY IS NOT MITIGATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

POWER TRAIN
SHIFT CABLE TAB BROKE CAUSING CAR TO BE STUCK IN DRIVE. 460000 WERE RECALLED BUT MY WAS NOT. THEY SAID IT IS BECAUSE I HAD A 3SPEED INSTEAD OF 4SPEED. THE PART IS THE SAME. DICK NORRIS BUICK SAID THEY KNEW ALL ABOUT THIS AND HAD SEVERAL REPAIR KITS ON HAND. ITHEY APPEARED TO BE ANNOYED BY RECALL WORK. WHEN STOPPING TO PARK AND PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK THE CAR STAYED IN DRIVE I CANNOT RESTART THE CAR WITHOUT MANUALLY MOVING THE SHIFTER UNDER THE HOOD. MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE INITIAL RECALL.

STEERING
THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON THE CAR HAS FAILED NUMEROUS TIMES AND ILLUMINATED A MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY STATING "POWER STEERING". WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU LOSE ALL POWER STEERING ASSIST WHICH REQUIRES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STRENGTH TO MANEUVER THE CAR. GM HAS RECALLED MANY OF THE OTHER VEHICLES AROUND THIS MODEL YEAR, BUT THIS VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED VEHICLES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
INCREASINGLY OVER THE LAST MONTH THERE HAS BEEN A STRONG SMELL OF GAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. IT'S STRONGER WHEN STATIONARY. ONE MORNING THE SMELL HAD ENTERED OUR HOME FROM THE GARAGE WHICH IS NEXT TO MY DAUGHTERS ROOM. THE CAR HESITATES OR MAY NOT TURN OVER AT ALL WHEN TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS TYPE BUT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT WAS ALSO PURCHASED AND IS STILL REGISTERED IN FLORIDA. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD CREATED BY GM SPECIFICATIONS.
