Buick Lacrosse Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | July 30, 2013
Reported on July 30, 2013
| I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY 2012 BUICK LACROSSE, IT STARTED SOONER THAN THIS WITH MY AIR DEFLECTOR FALLING OFF AT 75 MPH AND ALMOST FLIPPING MY CAR. THIS TIME ON JULY 30TH MY VEHICLE WENT COMPLETELY OUT FROM THE MEMORY LOSS, THE TRANSMISSION JUST STOPPED WORKING AND I WAS STALLED IN ONE OF THE BUSIEST INTERSECTIONS IN MY CITY. AS I WAS TRYING TO GET MY VEHICLE TO MOVE AGAIN THE LIGHT TURNED RED AND AN 18 WHEELER ALMOST BROADSIDED ME. I FOUND OUT THAT BACK IN MAY A SAFETY RECALL WAS SENT DOWN ON MY VEHICLE. THE ONES WITH EASIEST THE BATTERY IN THE BACK CAN CATCH FIRE AND CAUSE PROBLEMS. I DID NOT EVEN GET MY NOTICE UNTIL I HAD PICKED MY VEHICLE UP AND GM SAID THEY WEREN'T GOING TO SEND NOTICES UNTIL THEY HAD A PROBLEM WELL PARTS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER DUE TO THE PROBLEM SEEMS LIKE A HUGE PROBLEM. GM KEEPS GIVING ME EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE AND DOES NOT WANT TO HELP ME IN ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD. MY AIR DEFLECTOR FALLING OFF THEY SAID COULD NOT HAPPEN, I SAID IT DID AND IT IS GONE, CAN'T REPRODUCE SOMETHING WITH NOTHING THERE. IN FRONT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD A CADILLAC ESCALADE DROPPED HIS AIR DEFLECTOR TOO, SAME SIDE DROPPED, SAME SIDE TWISTED OFF, NOTHING IN THE ROAD TO CAUSE THE PROBLEM AND I HAVE THE PROOF YET GM DOESN'T CARE AND STILL SAYS IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. MY MECHANIC SAID IF IT IS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY THEY WILL JUST FALL OFF, THE AIR DEFLECTORS ON GM PRODUCTS ARE HELD ON BY ONLY 2 BOLTS, THE OTHER SPOTS HAVE NEVER BEEN BOLTED ON, NOW I HAVE A DAMAGED VEHICLE AND GM SAYS IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN KILLED THREE TIMES AND MY DAUGHTER ONCE IN THIS VEHICLE, HOW NORMAL IS THAT? PLEASE HELP!! *TR | |
