“The A/C was working intermittently until it didn't at all. I had recharged it, simple stuff first. Again, worked intermittently. Finally, had it looked at for leaks, compressor, etc. The mechanic found 2 aluminum pieces that crossed (original vehicle design) and had worn a giant whole into each other. Hence, my leak! I feel this is an Buick issues. And would like a response. Thank you”

NHTSA complaint #11076227, filed 2018-03, 6,300 miles“Rear liftgate opens randomly, liftgate failed to stay open and closed while getting things out of back, would then go up and down on its own and was unable to close manually. Reviewed complaints and see this was problem with a campaign number of 15v415000 but when we check the VIN of our car says there are no recalls.”
NHTSA complaint #11101589, filed 2018-06, 192,000 miles“When it rains, water leaks inside of my vehicle. The leak is on all panels, wetting the upholstery on the driver and passenger side windows, as well as surrounding the sunroof. Water leaks from the sunroof area, rear view mirror, and side panel onto the driver while driving. I contacted GM recalls, and they advised there is no recall related to this issue on my vehicle. It occurs during driving and when the vehicle is sitting in the rain.”
NHTSA complaint #10865754, filed 2016-05, 136,000 miles“I was driving and upon trying to press the brake the car jolted almost causing me to hit another car. The car said traction control off. I cautiously drove home with the same issue occurring but realize that the traction control kept going on and off constantly. When I read online about this issue I realized a lot of people with the same model and year are dealing with this issue no matter the mileage.”
