BUICK RAINIER 2006 car safety problem was reported on May 02, 2011.BUICK RAINIER 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . the fuel gauge on my 2006 buick rainier is malfunctioning. the problem started about 6 months ago and is now continual. it does not give accurate fuel levels. sometimes when the tank is full, the gauge reads empty, and vice versa. this is most definitely a safety issue !!! i was on the freeway the other day and ran out of gas (even though the fuel gauge showed nearly half-a tank.) this could've resulted in serious injury or death to myself and/or others. as i understand it, there are many instances of fuel gauge malfunctions on gmc cars of this vintage. there needs to be a government mandated recall of affected vehicles before lives are lost because of this component failure. my buick dealer wants over $500 to correct this problem, which is not the result of wear and tear or carelessness or misuse on my part, but rather the failure of a critical safety device. the consumer should not be required to bear this financial burden. *tr.Mileage was 56000 miles.

BUICK RAINIER 2006 car safety problem was reported on Apr 10, 2010.BUICK RAINIER 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . the gas gauge began reading empty when it was actually full. this started in spring 2010 with the odometer reading about 65k. when the tank is initially filled the gauge will read full, then go down until the gauge read empty. this continued for several days after fill-up and fluctuated between full and empty. after driving approximately 15 to 20 miles the gauge would return to full and back to empty again. there needs to be a recall on this vehicle. i already paid my buick dealer over $500 to correct this problem, which is not the result of wear and tear or carelessness or misuse on my part, but rather the failure of a critical safety device. the consumer should not be required to bear this financial burden. *tt.Mileage was 55000 miles.

Buick Rainier 2006 Power Train Review #10544981

BUICK RAINIER 2006 car safety problem was reported on June 14, 2013.BUICK RAINIER 2006, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i would like to start by saying i love my 2006 buick rainier and do not want this experience to break my commitment to gm products. my problems began when my rainier started having problems turning at low speeds and backing up. my 2006 rainier only has a little over 56,000 miles, so as you can see my suv has very little wear and has had all the regular schedule maintenances. i did experience the bumping noise periodically which i understand now is a precursor to the transfer case going out. i have written to gm about the problem with the transfer case to see if there was any way they could provide assistance with this problem as it has caused a financial hardship with the replacement of the transfer case costing a little over $2400. gm responded that there wasn't anything they could do about the matter. the service dealer has been very gracious with me and working with me to arrange payments each month, however, as with any business they are a business and must continue on. i have seen on the edmonds car blog that there are almost 300 entries of this very same problem with the transfer case going out in this particular vehicle. i am pleading with you to investigate this issue as it isn't only about the financial hardship it has caused me but mainly the safety issue it could have caused when i couldn't turn or back up appropriately which i could not when the transfer case went out. i purchased my rainier originally because i had a trailblazer ltz and saw how the rainier was a better kind of version or more luxury version of the trailblazer ltz. i am beginning to wish i had kept my trailblazer of almost 200k miles to my rainier of only 56k miles. your assistance in this matter is greatly anticipated and appreciated. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 56482 miles.

BUICK RAINIER 2006 car safety problem was reported on Apr 13, 2011.BUICK RAINIER 2006, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR . i bought my 2006 buick rainier in march of 2011 and about 3 months later the right rear passenger door handle broke because it is plastic and can't be opened from the outside. then a week later the child lock decided to lock itself on the same door and now the door can't be opened from either the inside or outside. then about 6 months later the front passenger door handle broke and now it won't open from the outside and i have to reach clear across the truck to open the door for any passengers to get in on that side. this last weekend the left back passenger door is now broke and can't be opened from the outside and is self locking the child safety lock now on this door as it did on the other back passenger door. luckily i got the door opened just once to unlock the child safety lock on this door and so it is still able to open for now from the inside until it locks its self again. once it locks it's self again i won't be able to get the door open again to unlock the child safety lock cause the door no longer opens from the outside. at this point i have one door left that functions properly and that is the drivers door if that handle breaks i won't be able to open any of my doors from the outside and will only be able to open the two front doors from the inside. who makes plastic door handles anyway what a stupid design for a car part that is used many times throughout the course of one day let alone for the life of the vehicle. i don't know if it is a safety issue but my daughter can't get in or out of the back passenger doors and has to crawl up through to the front seats and get out through the drivers door. i can't believe i have a fairly new car and can't properly use 3 doors on it. i too have issues with my gas gauge and will be taking it in to have fixed very soon. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 80000 miles.

Buick Rainier 2006 Exterior Lighting Review #10759500

BUICK RAINIER 2006 car safety problem was reported on Oct 15, 2013.BUICK RAINIER 2006, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . while driving at night, the headlights go out. leaving only the brights or fog lights operatable. they some times will come back on, but other times not at all. this is sporatic, with no rythme or reason. driving at night for over a half hour with only your brights is extremely dangerous. other motorists flash their lights at you if you have your brights on, or if only the fog lights are on, other motorists will flash their lights also. driving with only the fog lights in rural areas, then being blinded by on coming vehicles is a nightmare. i drive to work at 5:30 am, always in the dark, on rural roads with no streetlights. when the head lights go out, while i am on a curve, and i have a semi barreling at me at 60mph, all i can say, is i'm thankful i can tell the story. i can only hope, the next time i have my brights on, because nothing else is working, the motorist coming towards me has had a good day, and doesn't come after me with a road rage mentality..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 101000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5GADT13S262. Buick Rainier 2006 problem was reported in SEBRING, FL. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 60 mph.
