Example complaints

“Possible electrical short? Fuel gauge dropped over an eighth of a tank when just filled it up and drove 2 miles home. Next time I started it up it displayed the aforementioned. Has done this a few times now. Also service airbag light has come on intermittently prior to fuel gauge issue and now is on every time. Called Buick and they acknowledge that it has been a problem for that model and even year just not my VIN. Perhaps expansion of vehicles affected??? 77,000 miles”
NHTSA complaint #11187386, filed 2019-03, 77,000 miles“Service airbag warning light was on for 4 days. Took car into Buick dealership, they said the light wasn't on and couldn't find a problem. The light was on when I dropped the car off that day. They had my car for 2 days. Got the car back on friday evening, 2 days later the light is back on. There is a recall for this issue in 2013 models, but since this is a 2014 I wanted to make this known that it is a problem and may require a recall for the 2014 Buick Enclave.”
NHTSA complaint #10648661, filed 2014-10, 17,000 miles“Airbag warning light started coming on intermittently and now remains on. According to the local dealer (chevrolet of canton, ga) the airbag warning light is coming on due to a faulty wire. This appears to be the same issue that resulted in a recall for 2008-2013 Buick enclaves. Car has approximately 54,000 miles and we are the original owners.”
NHTSA complaint #11388872, filed 2021-01, 50,000 miles“Service air bag notification and warning light have come on at approximately 100,000 miles while driving on city street. No accidents noted at time of notifications. An auto repair mechanic noted code b001e - driver side inboard side airbag deployment loop resistance above threshold. Airbag code has TSB to solder connection pins at connector x333 and x332 which should be under warranty. Pins were found to be damaged.”
NHTSA complaint #11325499, filed 2020-05, 100,000 miles“One day, service airbag text just came up on the screen in the dashboard along with the airbag shaped light. Nothing happened to the car, I just have been driving it normally. It just came on with no reason. It has 62,400 miles on it. 2014.”
