2015 Buick Verano

CERTAIN SYSTEMS OF MY CAR WHILE I AM DRIVING WILL SHUT DOWN. FOR EXAMPLE I WILL BE TAKING A TURN AND THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT. OTHER THINGS THAT SEEM TO SHUT DOWN EITHER AT THE SAME TIME OR SEPARATELY ARE THE RADIO/ SCREEN, THE CRUISE CONTROL, BLINKER, ECT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM TURNING AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE WHAT MAY BE THE PROBLEM AND NOTICED PLENTY OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES AS WELL WITH NO ONE BEING ABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 BUICK VERANO. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO RESTART WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE THEFT DEVICE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DEALER WAS CHARGING $596 FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

PROBLEM WITH THE SIDEWALLS OF YOUR LOW PROFILE CONTIPROCONTACT TIRES. THESE CAME EQUIPPED ON MY WIFE'S 2015 BUICK VERANO AS OEM ' P235/45 R18. IN THE PAST 60 DAYS, SHE HAS HAD 3 OF THESE TIRES BECOME DAMAGED, GO FLAT AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED DUE TO DAMAGE TO THE SIDEWALL. ADDITIONALLY, MY MOTHER-IN-LAW HAS ALSO HAD TO REPLACE ONE OF THESE TIRES ON HER 2015 VERANO. MY WIFE'S TIRES HAD BETWEEN 18,000 AND 22,000 MILES ON THEM WHILE MY MOTHER-IN-LAW'S HAD 7,500 MILES. MY WIFE'S ' SHE IS 61 ' IS DRIVING BACK AND FORTH ON THE INTERSTATE TO WORK AND HOME ABOUT 50 MILES PER DAY. OF THESE 50 MILES, 5 IS NOT INTERSTATE AND SECONDARY SURFACE ROADS. MY MOTHER-IN-LAW IS 83 AND DRIVES TO CHURCH, DOCTOR, AND STORE. NEITHER ARE SPEEDING, DRIVING RECKLESSLY OR CAUSING MORE THAN NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THESE TIRES. BOTH VEHICLES ARE ALSO GARAGED WHEN NOT BEING DRIVEN. IN EACH CASE, THE SIDEWALL WAS DAMAGED AT THE EXACT SAME LOCATION AND THE DAMAGE WAS IDENTICAL. A CUT IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE ABOUT AN INCH LONG AT A 60-DEGREE ANGLE TO THE TREAD. WITH THE FIRST AND SECOND TIRES, I THOUGH MY WIFE HAD POSSIBLY HIT SOMETHING. HOWEVER, AFTER THE 4TH, THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ALL FOUR TIRES TO HAVE THE SAME DAMAGE IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE NOTICED ON SEVERAL BUICK FORUMS, A LARGE NUMBER OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS THE COLD WEATHER OR WHAT, BUT SOMETHING IS WRONG. *TR

I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY, SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME. I COULD NOT TURN AT ALL. I WAS IN A LANE OF TRAFFIC AT THE TIME BUT FORTUNATELY ON A PRIVATE STREET. I CALLED THE BUICK DEALER AND THEY SUGGESTED GM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. I CALLED GM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND IT TOOK 2 HOURS FOR A TOW TRUCK TO PICK UP THE CAR. I HAD THE FLASHERS ON THE WHOLE TIME AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER TRIED TO START IT. HE JUMPED IT AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STILL LOCKED. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE PIN FELL WHEN IT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO. THEY ARE CHECKING OUT THE CAR NOW. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY OR ANYWHERE ELSE AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. *TR

WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR, THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE CAME ON CAUSING THE CAR TO COME TO AN UBRUPT STOP ON A CITY STREET. IT DID NOT TURN OFF UNTIL MY WIFE TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, RESTARTED IT AND SHIFTING THROUGH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GEARS. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT HENRY BROWN BUICK IN GILBERT, AZ FOR OVER A MONTH AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. GENERAL MOTORS HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING FURTHER ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A LIFE-THREATENING ISSUE WITH POTENTIAL GRAVE CONSEQUENCES IF THE BRAKE CAME ON AGAIN ON A HIGHWAY OR IN TRAFFIC.
