A car was coming over into my lane from the left lane cut me short, I tried not to hit the car turn my car to the right but the car hit my car and made my car go out of control went to the left and hit the center concrete barrier with the left front portion of my car, then I veered across both lanes and struck the east rock embankment…

Reported at 97,978 miles, June 2014 CrashInjury

Purchased the car in march of 05, have had it in a total of 24 days for service, on about 10 different occasions. The front doors leaked badly in the rain. They have since been adjusted, had new seals put in, bondo applied at a body shop. Then buick replaced both doors with new factory doors. These also leaked. They were adjusted and bondo was applied to the new doors. They required multiple adjustments as well. Now the doors feel like they drop a quarter inch when you open them and there is a lot of wind noise.
