“On 1/22/2020 when I was driving down the road my stabilitrac light came on causing my car to slow down to 25 MPH. Wouldn't go faster than that..I took the battery cables off for about 20 min. And the stabilitrac light came off so I drove the care home and right before I got home it came on again. Also in 1/20/2020 my left headlight. Does not work. I put a knew light bulb on and it worked for a few days and it went out again.”
NHTSA complaint #11301407, filed 2020-01, 112,000 miles“I believe the vehicle has something that may or may not ever be found by a test drive at dealer by service mechanic. I also believe this started before the posted mileage above but I do not have all paperwork from dealership that serviced it. Vehicle will bog down after you start to accelerate on hills, around curves, at take off. Sometimes this enables traction control light but not always. …”
NHTSA complaint #10545554, filed 2013-09, 43,337 miles“I noted the exact same problem reported on the NHTSA site for this same make and model of car. It's included under the heading vehicle speed control. I just purchased this car in the past month and now notice that each time I try to move my foot from the foot feed to the brake pedal my foot catches on the side of the brake pedal. It seems to me to be an obvious safety risk in that it takes another movement of my foot to get it on the brake pedal slowing my response to brake. …”
NHTSA complaint #11021073, filed 2017-09, 344,000 miles“Takata recall I have a recall letter on the throttle sensor and if I have any issues please take into a dealer right away I did this in november of 2016 and they said code did not show up, so 3 months later I have same issues with the car not going over 40 m.p.h and my engine power is reduced. I have 3 diagnostic test that show the throttle sensor is bad I also have documentations of this. I have paid a dealer $100 dollars twice for them to tell me the code still did not show up so they won't replace the recall. …”
NHTSA complaint #10968780, filed 2017-03, 82,000 miles“On friday, july 1, 2016 I was traveling down a 2 lane road with my cruise control set when my car suffered a loss of power. The engine still was running, but apparently my transmission lost the ability to power the car. I was able to park on the shoulder of the road, and eventually, towed to my mechanics shop. Yesterday I was told the problem was a faulty transmission control and it will cost me $1060 to repair. I was also told that this is a common enough problem that Buick dealers keep the part in stock.. …”
