STEERING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, TIRES
BRAKES PULSATE WHEN BRAKING. CAR VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO HAS A DESIRE TO PULL TO RIGHT. FEELS LIKES WHEELS ARE OUT OF BALANCE ALL THE TIME. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN AND HAD THE BALANCE CHECKED AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS FINE. THEY SAY IT IS THE MAKE OF THE TIRES AND GOODYEAR IS AWARE - THEY HAVE MADE A GOODWILL REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRES DUE TO HISTORY OF MY CAR.... THE ENGINE BLEW AT 1500 MILES!!! STILL NO BETTER. EVERY DAY I GET MY FILLINGS RATTLED LOOSE ON THE WAY TO WORK. THE PULL TO THE RIGHT WAS FIXED WHEN THE REPLACED THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT - BUT I HAD TO GO BACK BECAUSE THE DEALER DID NOT DO FRONT END ALIGNMENT AFTER REPLACING THE STEERING SHAFT "NOT NECESSARY - IT'S NOT THE STANDARD PRACTICE WITH THE JOB" WHEN THEY FINALLY PUT IN ON THE MACHINE, IT WAS OUT OF TOE BY .18 DEGREES. I AM STILL WORKING ON GETTING THE BRAKES FIXED. LAST TIME THEY TURNED THEM DUE TO "HARD SPOTS". WHEN I GO BACK FOR THE INSPECTION IN NOV. I HAVE TO HAVE THEM WORK ON THEM AGAIN. THIS TIME I WILL FIGHT TO HAVE THE ROTORS REPLACED AS I AM TERRIFIED THAT I WON'T STOP WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKES BECAUSE THE PULSATING HAS GOTTEN THAT BAD. *TR

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT CHECKED NHTSA'S CRASH TEST RATING FOR THE VEHICLE AND FOUND IT TO BE VERY LOW.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT GM DID NOT SEND THE RECALL INFORMATION IN THE MAIL , AND WAS INFORMED TO CONTACT THE LOCAL BUICK DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REPAIR ORDER STATED THAT ONLY A PARTIAL REPAIR FOR THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED. THE REPAIR SHOP'S REASON FOR NOT PERFORMING THE ENTIRE REPAIR WAS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE SIDE AIR BAGS.

THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL THE DEALER TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM, AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER.
