“I have had two failure incidents with the jack and the lug wrench that came with my vehicle from Buick. Approximate 1 year ago I was using the jack for the first time and it came apart with the vehicle raised on it. Buick replaced the jack. I was using the replacement jack for the first time last week and the original lug wrench split at the socket end. This was the second time this wrench was used. I am concerned there is something wrong with the jack/wrench design or metal it is made out of. I have contacted Buick about the problem but have not heard back from them.”
NHTSA complaint #10395998, filed 2011-04, 17,765 miles“The power door locks do not work either with door switches or the remote fab. Only way to lock or unlock doors is to manually lock or unlock doors, except drivers door which will lock and unlock with key. Remote start doesn't work because door can't be locked with fab. Took to dealer and was told that all 4 doors needed to have the actuators replaced. Priced over $1000.00. They offered to pay $350.00. It seems to me that there are problems with the control unit that sends signals to actuators, both by door switches and the fab. …”

I have tried resetting and/or personalizing keys & fob through dic center. Car will sound horn to show it has been reset properly, but isn't. …”
