9 reportsTAKATA RECALL I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON OCT 16, 2018. I WAS ON THE STREET SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WHEN A VEHICLE HIT ME FROM THE REAR WHICH MADE ME HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.
TRUNK RANDOMLY OPENS WHETHER PARKED OR WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES.
TRUNK WILL RELEASE WITHOUT WARNING. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING OR AT A STOP WITHOUT ENGINE RUNNING. IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. I FOUND IT OPEN IN THE MORNING.
SUNROOF DOES NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY. THE PART THAT LIFTS TO SLIDE BACK, OPENING THE SUNROOF, NO LONGER CLOSES FLUSH. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THE SECOND GLASS OF THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF HAS MOVED FORWARD. IT WILL OPEN BUT WILL NOT CLOSE. THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURS IN MOTION, IDLE OR PARKED.
THE TRUNK RELEASES AND POPS OPEN ON ITS OWN. THE TRUNK OPENS IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT IS SHUT. THE SEQUENCE OF CLOSE AND RELEASE HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE TRUNK REMAINS LATCHED. THE OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IDLE AND WITH THE ENGINE OFF.
THE CHROME IS PEELING OFF THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVERS FRONT DOOR, CAUSING A RAZOR SHARP EDGE, THAT CUTS MY FINGER. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED

Official recalls
221V00F000 · Suspension:rear
Dec 22, 2021
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2010-2013 Buick Lacrosse, 2012-2013 Buick Regal, and 2013 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles sold or ever registered in Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, or Wisconsin. These vehicles may have rear toe links that received an improper amount of electrocoating (e-coat) corrosion protection, which could cause the e-coat to become brittle and break away when contacted by road debris. Over time, the e-coat may chip away, exposing the metal toe link and making it more susceptible to corrosion. Corrosion may eventually cause the toe link to thin and ultimately fracture.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A rear toe link fracture may reduce the driver's ability to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the rear suspension toe links and adjuster fasteners, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 27, 2022. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N212346640. This recall is an expansion of NHTSA recalls 20V-764 and 21V-633.
