Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Dash cluster display is unreadable during daylight hours depriving the driver of critical information which could present a safety hazard, viz., speed, engine temperature, oil pressure, etc. I notified dealer of this problem a few times and they replaced the cluster; however, the replacement was no improvement. The dash is still illegible during daylight hours. I have followed up with the dealer on this defect and was told that there was no fix for the problem.”

NHTSA complaint #10265937, filed 2009-04, 6,000 miles

“Cannot read the odometer or fuel gauge when driving in sunlight. It is completely dark when it is sunny outside. Dealer suggests tinting windows?? Panel has been replaced, but still same problem. Is Buick going to do any thing about this??”
