Example complaints

“The side detection system has failed so I no longer have mirror blind spot protection. The problem is also causing problems with the instrument cluster failing. The issue is exactly like the one covered by bulliten 16-na-178 for other GM vehicles of the same model years which use the same system. Gm should recall all the cars that used this system, not just some as it is a serious safety issue as the whole cluster can go dead while the car is being driven.”
NHTSA complaint #11197331, filed 2019-04, 44,000 miles“A Service Side Detection Error is causing multiple electrical issues in the front dash: prevent defrost and heat from working in the middle of a Vermont winter. This prevents me from seeing where I am going. This has also caused erratic problems with any function/feature on my electric panel, and erratic errors that come and go. There is a VERY HIGH NUMBER of Buick drivers who have had this error with the SAME EXACT issues. The sensors in the back wheel wells are not water proof. They get corroded. …”
NHTSA complaint #11464438, filed 2022-05“The contact owns a 2014 Buick Verano. After approximately thirty minutes of driving, the vehicle was parked and the rear window suddenly shattered. The contact noticed a round burned spot in one of the rear window defrost filaments. The vehicle was driven to the dealer (lou fusz Buick/gmc in saint louis, missouri) where it was diagnosed that the rear defrost shorted out and the window needed replacement. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.”
