Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While making a right hand turn I heard a pop noise simultaneously vehicle dipped harshly with the handling and steering control compromised. After inspection the fractured and broken sway bar was discovered. Sway bar ends cracked both sides with right side completely severed. Car was used in normal driving conditions-mechanic suggested I report this safety issue because this should not happen.”
NHTSA complaint #10917373, filed 2016-10, 105,200 miles“The steering is almost impossible to turn at slow speed or idle. It has 64,000 miles on it. Please help, it's not a safe care to be driving and as many of the same problems others have with the same year and supposedly fixed by Buick in 2008 I think they need to upgrade our steering gear.”
NHTSA complaint #10882835, filed 2016-07, 64,000 miles“I have a clunking sound coming from the steering wheel/shaft assemble when turing either direction or when hitting a bump. There is a Buick TSB that describes the problem for the 2005-2007 years and the parts were upgraded in 2008 to fix the problem. Buick will not replace the part free but I notice that this is a common problem for these years. There doesn't appear to be any sort of recall, or least I don't see any on line and I have not been notified. The dealership wants $250 to replace the needed parts.”
NHTSA complaint #10485001, filed 2012-11, 47,000 miles“Original owner of a 2007 Buick Lacrosse cxl. Power steering pump failure at around 85,000 miles. Power steering pump failed because of leaking hoses. Primary reason for leak is due to lines incorrectly crimped around the metal line that adheres to rubber hose. Lines cannot withstand pressure and start leaking intermittently until they completely fail. I have replaced power steering pump and rack and pinion due to faulty lines damaging the whole system. I have seen many instances online about people having to replace a couple months later after initial replacement. …”
NHTSA complaint #10702424, filed 2015-03, 85,000 miles“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. …”
