I BOUGHT THIS CAR MAY 2010 FROM GREGORY AUTOMOTIVE GROUP IN NEW CASTLE DE. I IMMEDIATELY HAD A PROPBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER THE DAY I BOUGHT IT, TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WASNT A BIG DEAL, THIS PROBLEM WAS COVERED BY BY WARRANTY AND I WOULD JUST NEED TO PAY A $100.00 DEDUCTIBLE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL BUICK DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY I BOUGHT FROM THE DEALER AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIRS. MY NEXT ISSUE IS THE GAS GAUGE STARTED TO MESS UP; WRONG READINGS AND GAS LEVELS LEFT ME OUT OF GAS AND VERY UPSET. I WILL BE TAKING THIS BACK TO BUICK TO SEE IF I AM AT ALL ELIGIBLE TO RECIEVE RECALL BENEFITS OR SOMETHING BECAUSE THE AMOUNT TO FIX THESE ISSUES ARE GREATER THAN I CAN AFFORD WITHIN THE YEAR AND SOME CHANGE OF OWNING THE VEH. AND I ALSO WANT TO SAY I DID RESEARCH AND DO A CARFAX ON THE CAR AND IT CAME BACK WITH ACCURATE MILEAGE, ONE OWNER AND NO ACCIDENTS AND I JUMPED ON IT, ONLY TO HAVE A NICE CAR WITHOUT A WORKING SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE. I THOUGHT BUICKS WERE GOOD SOLID CARS...... *TT

I HAVE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK FILLER NECK AS IT CRACKED. MY CAR HAD 45,000 SOME MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. ($473) BUICK SAID IT WAS THE RESULT OF FREEZING/ THAWING TEMPERATURES IN WINTER. THEN MY ASHTRAY DOOR BROKE - IT WON'T STAY CLOSED ON IT'S OWN. BUICK WANTED $300 - 400 TO FIX THAT. I'M USING VELCRO. THEN MY ODOMETER NEEDLE STOPPED WORKING AND JUST HANGS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE EVERY LIGHT BULB IN THE CAR AND THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH HEATING/AIR PANEL AREA HAVE GONE OUT. I HAVE LESS THAN 55,000 MILES ON THE CAR NOW AND ALL THIS HAPPENED BEFORE IT HIT 50,000 MILES. THIS IS A $35,000 CAR RETAIL -COME ON BUICK - LETS DO BETTER. *TR
