TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BUICK VERANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN AN ONSTAR REPORT WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CODE, BUT STILL ADVISED THE CONTACT TO HAVE FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE. IT WAS UNCLEAR AS TO WHY THE DEALER HAD NOT ADDRESSED THE DTC INFORMATION THAT THE CONTACT PROVIDED. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON THE DEALER TO PROVIDE A REPAIR SOLUTION AND WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I OWN A 2014 BUICK VERANO. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN MAY 2015. I NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH IT'S BREAKING SYSTEM ON 1/20/2016. I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, APPLYING THE BRAKES WITH MODERATE PRESSURE. BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN SNOWING EARLIER IN THE DAY, I SUPPOSE I WAS PRESSING DOWN HARDER THAN NORMAL. AS I WAS SITTING THERE, I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL SLOWLY MOVING TO THE FLOOR. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND REPEATED THE OPERATION IN A PARKING LOT. INDEED, SITTING STILL, WITH THE CAR IN PARK, THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUES TO SLOWLY MOVE TO A COMPLETELY DEPRESSED POSITION, RESTING ON THE FLOOR. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR 2/22/2016. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WAS DUE TO EITHER THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATION (WHILE SITTING MOTIONLESS?), OR THE BRAKE BOOSTER SLOWLY LOSING VACUUM (WHICH WOULD MAKE THE PEDAL RISE FROM THE FLOOR INSTEAD OF GOING TOWARDS IT). THE DEALER SAID 'THEY CHECKED OUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM', (SOMETHING I DON'T FULLY BELIEVE), AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY NORMAL. I INSISTED THAT THE DEALER BRING ANOTHER VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP, AND THEY COMPLIED. THE NEWER VERANO DID EXACTLY THE SAME THING. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS CAR, BUT I BELIEVE THE DESIGN OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS FLAWED. AT AN EARLIER POINT IN MY LIFE, I DID A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MAINTENANCE TO THE VEHICLES I OWNED. I HAVE NEVER CONSIDERED THE SITUATION WITH THE BUICK VERANO BRAKES TO BE A NORMAL CONDITION. I ASK THAT YOUR ENGINEERS TAKE A LOOK AT THIS SITUATION AND DETERMINE IF IT IS SAFE, OR NOT. I CERTAINLY DO NOT FEEL SAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2014 BUICK VERANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HOOD LID AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FENDER WERE NOT PROPERLY ATTACHED TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED AN OPENING WHERE THE SIZE OF A FINGER COULD ENTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IMPROPERLY DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON JANUARY 2 AT 218 AFTERNOON GOIN 70-74 MILES AN HOUR. AND THE CAR TURN OFF I PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR NOT SURE IF THE CRUISE TURNED OFF CAR WAS OFF I LUCKY WAS ABLE TOO PULL OVER SAFELY I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON I CALL THE ONSTAR OPERATED AND THE RAN DU AGONISTS AND FOUND NOTHING. WHICH I FIND UNBELIEVABLE I AM GOING TO SUBORDINATE BUICK ON MONDAY 1-4-2026 IN TAYLOR MICHIGAN.
