Example complaints

“Been having a clunk/bump type sound in the steering when the car is sitting still or at low speed, had a local dealer look at it a year ago and they found nothing, in addition too we are finding drops of oil in our driveway. We have had several people look at it, with no luck at finding the leak. Recently the whole front end has been shaking, with several folks checking, including the local dealer who yesterday told me they no longer work on GM products. …”
NHTSA complaint #10491953, filed 2013-01, 83,000 miles“My car was not responding as it normally was and I took it into my mechanic. He put it up on the lift and discovered that both lower control arms were very worn and needed to be replaced immediately. It took him several days to find the left control arm. Her went on line and could not find any dealer that had the item in stock and was told that it was no longer available. He was told that GM had stopped making the part. He found that part at a parts store for about $70 more than the one part he was able to get at a dealer. …”
NHTSA complaint #10652899, filed 2014-11, 71,800 miles“When bringing the car in for grinding brakes, my mechanic informed me that my rack and pinion was leaking and my rear struts were broken and leaking. (this was later confirmed with a Buick dealership). I was informed that my car would not be able to pass my yearly inspection without the rack and pinion repair. I was also informed that the repair would be quite costly. I was stunned since I have had nothing but complaints and repairs with this car which I am still paying for, the last past two and a half years respectively. I only have the car for four years. …”
