Tl*the contact owns a 2007 buick terraza. The contact stated that the brakes are squeaking on the passenger side front wheel. The failure occurs each time the brakes are applied. The manager at the dealer stated that nothing can be done because the brakes squeak on all their vehicles. The purchase date was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 5,600.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 buick terraza. While driving 65 MPH, the passenger side rear door opened on its own. The contact pulled to the side of the road and attempted to close the door, but it would not move. The vehicle was driven with the door open 20 miles to the nearest dealer and they stated that the cable was broken and needed to be replaced. The VIN and engine size were unknown. The current mileage was 7,500 and failure mileage was 1,085.
Drive side power door does not close or latch fully to provide safety to passengers. Several complaints have been issued to service center but since they could not duplicate-no action was done. Service center would not replace random parts as the warranty would not cover. Warranty dollar savings means more then consumer safety. At least eight times this issue was reported to flaherty auto without repair. Still remains issue today with this door. Has been issue since purchased in fall of 2006.
I am having problems with the sliding doors, the passenger side sliding door would not close. After about and hour, got the door closed and now the door alarm stays on. Have an appointment to get it looked at. After reading all the other complaints about these doors, I think they should have a recall to fix the problem.
The ABS traction control is now coming on all the time. I understand this has been a big problem for buick. They have not fixed any problems on these. Wish they would recall them for this problem as this is not safe. It comes on going down the road and makes a funny noise. This van has had so many problems that it should be recalled.
