2012 Buick Verano

WHILE DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY GOING AT 65 MPH. THE LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND IT SAID, SERVICE AIRBAGS. WHEN I GOT HOME AND I TURNED OFF MY CAR THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND I THOUGHT THAT IT COULD OF BEEN A GLITCH IN THE CAR. TWO DAYS LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER TRYING TO FIND ANSWERS BUT THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY CAR. BUT YET I SEE SO MANY ISSUES WITH HE AIRBAGS ON BUICK VERANOS.

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO GO I STARTED TO DRIVE AND REALIZED MY CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING, I HAD THE GAS PEDDLE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AS A TRACTOR TRAILER WAS FASTLY APPROACHING MY REAR BUMPER, LUCKLY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO MEDIAN. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A SWITCH THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY ENTIRE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND RADIO WENT OUT, WHICH DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE TWICE. MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT, IT WAS RAINING AND DEFROST WAS NOT WORKING, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHICH THEY STATED IT WAS MY BATTERY, PAID $200 FOR A NEW BATTERY. MY CAR JERKS AND STALLS WHEN I AM GOING FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND BEGIN TO PICK UP SPEED. I WAS BACKING OUT A PARKING SPOT TODAY AND MY CAR SHUT OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I RESTARTED MY CAR WHICH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND THE STALLING AND JERKING CONTINUES. THESE ISSUES CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND IF SEVERE ENOUGHT CAN BE LIFE THREATENING. IF I AM REQUIRED TO HOLD UP MY END OF THE BARGAIN BY PAYING MY CAR NOTE THE MANUFACTURERS NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR END OF THE BARGAIN WHICH IS PROVIDING THEIR BUYERS WITH A SECURE AND RELIABLE VEHICLES FOR FAMILIES.

HUSBAND WAS DRIVING CAR HOME ON A 6 HOUR ROAD TRIP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. EVERYTIME HE WOULD SLOW DOWN TO A STOP OR NEAR STOP THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF. ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IT IS MISSING. I HAD ONSTAR RUN THEIR DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY SAID ISSUE WITH TIMING SYSTEM, ERROR CODE P0010. WHAT IF HE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED ON HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THIS. READING OTHER COMPLAINTS IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO HAD THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 BUICK VERANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 112,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 BUICK VERANO. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED, THE BRAKES MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

10/26/15 - CAR WOULDN'T START; RECV'D JUMP, REPLACED BATTERY ($169.40). 11/6/15 - CAME OUT OF RESTAURANT, CAR WOULDN'T START. GOT JUMP TOOK TO DEALER. DEALER REPLACED STARTER AND ISSUE RESOLVED. 11/12-11/21: CAR STALLED 8-10 MORE DOCUMENTED TIMES BOTH WHEN BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT IN REVERSE AND AT VEHICLE SPEEDS VARYING FROM 35MPH TO 67MPH ON 5 LANE INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR. TOOK TO DEALER AND CALLED GM. REPLACED TWO SOLENOIDS AND SOME HOSE, KEEPING CAR SO TECH CAN DRIVE FOR 2 DAYS TO SEE IF PROBLEM CAN BE REPLICATED. I CAN'T DETERMINE A CAUSE OR PATTERN AND DON'T GET ANY PRIOR WARNING, SO HOPING IT DOES OCCUR IN THEIR POSSESSION DURING TESTING. THIS VEHICLE IS UNRELIABLE AND VERY DANGEROUS. I ALMOST CAUSED A MULTIPLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE AND RISK INJURY OR DEATH BY OPERATING THIS VEHICLE. MY FAMILY IS AT RISK, MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORISTS. GM SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM BUT AFTER SEEING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA.GOV AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHER ONLINE FORUMS, IT IS CLEAR THAT GM IS TRYING TO AVOID ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES. I HAVE OWNED GM PRODUCTS SINCE TURNING 16 AND THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE BEEN PROVIDED WITH A DEALERSHIP LOANER AND WILL REFUSE TO TAKE MY VERANO BACK AS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING OR OWNING THIS VEHICLE. CURRENTLY HAVE OPEN COMPLAINT WITH GM BUT DO NOT HAVE RESOLUTION AT THE TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT.

TODAY I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 BUICK VERANO AND WITHOUT ANY ADVANCED NOTICE (IE.. LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON DASHBOARD) MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND JUST STARTED TO CREEP TO A FULL STOP. THE DASHBOARD WAS BLACK NOTHING TO TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THANK GOD THEY HAVE CREATED A LARGE PULL OFF ON THE HIGHWAY OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY HURT. I TRIED SEVERAL TIME TO RESTART MY VEHICLE THE RESTARTING PROCESS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM IT WAS PUTTING THE CAR IN GEAR EVERY TIME I TRIED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR IT WOULD SHUT OFF AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 BUICK VERANO. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE STEERING COLUMN FAILED AND JERKED WHILE THE VEHICLE MOVED ACROSS DIFFERENT LANES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF WARNING INDICATOR , MY STEERING WHEEL FELL OFF. I MANAGE TO REATTACH IT AND MANEUVER OUT OF TRAFFIC TO SAFETY. ONCE I MADE IT TO SAFETY THE STEERING WHEEL AGAIN FAIL COMPLETELY OFF. MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON IT, THAT WAS REPAIRED A FEW WEEKS AGO DEALING WITH THE AIRBAG. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS A MANUFACTOR PROBLEM OR NEGLIGENCE ON THE DEALERSHIP ON REATTACHING THE STEERING COLUMN.
