2015 Buick Verano

UPON STARTING THE CAR WE HAVE NO WORKING GUAGES. THE TEMPERATURE AND GAS LEVEL DON'T WORK. AND THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGES SHOW UP ON THE DASH. SERVICE AIR BAG, TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM, FRONT CAMERA, PARKING ASSIST, SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM, AND THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM. THE CAR IT BASICALLY UNDRIVEABLE. THE BLINKERS DO NOT WORK, HEATED SEATS (THOUGH THAT IS MINOR) RADIO STOPS WORKING. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TEMPERATURE OF THE ENGINE IS, HOW MUCH FUEL WE HAVE AND HOW FAST WE ARE GOING. THERE IS ONLY 68,800 MILES ON IT. WHEN I CALL THE DEALERSHIP (THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES WITH THE TECHNOLOGY TO LOOK AT THIS AND TROUBLESHOOT) THEY TELL ME IT'S A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS JUST TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE CAR IS THIS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BUT I HAVE TO PAY TO DIAGNOSE IT. THEN I FIND OUT JUST TO REPLACE THE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM WILL COST ME LIKE $700. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO FIX THIS BIGGER ISSUE. I'M FORCED TO PAY TO HAVE DIAGNOSTICS RUN AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I CAN'T HAVE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER DRIVING AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE WHEN IT'S THIS UNSAFE. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO I CAN UPLOAD IF NEEDED. BUT FOR NOW I TOOK SCREENSHOTS OF THE VIDEO AND WILL UPLOAD THEM. WHAT CAN BE DONE ON STUFF LIKE THIS? I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, JASON

2015 BUICK VERANO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SUDDEN ACCELERATION ACCIDENT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN SHE SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, SHE REMOVED HER FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF WITHOUT HER APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR. SHE ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKE, BUT IT FAILED TO SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE. INSTEAD, THE VEHICLE PICKED UP SPEED AND THE STEERING BECAME LOOSE AND DELAYED AND THEREFORE, SHE WAS UNABLE TO ACCURATELY STEER THE VEHICLE, WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO STOP OR CONTROL THE SPEED, THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO GO THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND CROSSED OVER A MAJOR HIGHWAY, JUMPING A CURB ACROSS THE ROAD. SHE CONTINUED TRYING TO STOP AND STEER AND FINALLY THE VEHICLE TURNED LEFT AND CROSSED BACK OVER THE HIGHWAY AND INTO HER NEIGHBOR'S FRONT LAWN. THE VEHICLE STRUCK A LAMP POST, DROVE THROUGH A SMALL WOODEN FENCE, A BICYCLE, LAWN FURNITURE AND HIT A TREE HEAD-ON. WHEN THE CONSUMER HIT THE TREE, HER HEAD WENT THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD, HER RIGHT HAND WAS FRACTURED AND HER LEFT HAND WAS BROKEN. *JB
