What owners wrote
Newly purchased delivery of 2014 Buick Verano. from Auto Deal Makers in Chantilly, Va. Not even 5 miles driven, car was hesitant at 20mph, felt like it was going to stall out at 40mph, my left upper lip started tingling, my kids felt sick as we all experienced a heavy taste & smell of burnt oil in the cabin of the car. Two hours later my kids & I still could not get the taste of burnt oil off our tongues and back of our throats even after eating.
Same issue I see multiple GM owners having. Service side detection system malfunctions after multiple repairs. Have had sensors replaced multiple times. I have had to every year at least if not every six months. Initially under warranty, but now no longer under warranty. I understand vehicles have issues, but the same issues over and over again is not okay. I have had where it shorts out my entire electrical system while driving. I literally feared for my life.
