We have a 2007 Buick terraza cx with 11,000 miles, which was our worst mistake. It was a program vehicle. We have continually had problems with the automatic door malfunctioning. It has been taken apart and everything replaced and still it does not want to shut. The service traction light comes on along with the pump at a time when it wants to. Usually when the dealer is closed. Then it goes off without throwing any codes. The engine is riding rough but the computer shows nothing. The gas mileage is really down. We have been in contact with bbb autoline and illinois attorney general. There is a serious problem with this door. It is a matter of time before it decides to open while I am driving with my children. I have had it into the dealer probably over 30 times or more. The

Rear sliding doors will not remain closed, then open while driving and continue to alarm when closed. I've taken it in for repairs three times on both doors, yet, now that my warranty is no longer in effect, I must pay out of pocket for an issue that is an obvious safety issue gm is ignoring. My grandson's car seat sits by those doors, thank god hasn't fallen out!!! I've googled and have seen hundreds of the same complaints ignored. Why is it somebody has to die before this problem is addressed?! There are several incident dates!!! *kb

I have had nothing but trouble from the start with our car's stability system. The back end was making a terrible thumping and grinding sound every time I would go over the slightest uneven surfaces. There have been multiple repairs made including replacing right rear bushing, rewelding of an unknown part on the right rear and the stabiltity/ABS systems repaired multiple times. Yet, the car continues to have suspension problems. It has a unstable, wobbly ride especially on the interstate. Among other things I've also had a wheel senor replaced. We bought a Buick terraza conversion van and have come to find out that they have a problem with the rear end that affects the stability of the car. I called braun mobility about a recall for the suspension problems and informed them of the multipl

Rear shocks do not perform correctly. Braun raised the body 2" when making this an entervan. The rear shocks never dampened movement during the first 2" of travel. Wheel hop caused the rear tires to cup and become out of balance. When rotated to the front during normal tire rotation, the van became very difficult to stop and handle. This happened in less than 12,000 miles. After replacing rear shocks, and all four tires at my expense, the van drives smooth and safe will no problems stopping. *tr

2007 Buick terraza. Stability system/traction control/ABS causes front brakes to engage without warning. This has occurred no less that 25 times. Speed at time of incident has been from 10 to 55 MPH. Ratcheting sound occurs (same as when traction control applies in slippery conditions); front tips down as left brake applies; vehicle pulls hard to the left. The only way I can drive is to pull the fuse, leaving ABS, tc, and ss off. Dealer has tried to fix, gm customer service became involved briefly, but I still drive without major safety features, or take my chances on abrupt speed changes, and lane changes. Not something I enjoy on the dan ryan in chicago, when the flow of traffic is above speed limit and chicago drivers use 5 feet as a following distance. I have found from the internet t

The automatic doors will not close properly and at times just open up. If I am able to close the doors, the door alarm continues to sound and will do so for several hours. I have had it looked at by the dealership and have been told it is fixed several times. I bought this vehicle new and it has less than 30000 miles on it. This is an outrage and no one will stand behind the vehicle. *tr

Purchased a 2007 Buick terraza in 2008 with 10000 miles on it. One owner. Now I know why. I am on a first name basis with the service department that tries to fix my problems. The power sliding doors are unsafe and a nightmare. Have stood in pooring rain,freezing temps,and snow trying to get a door to close. Has been in the shop at least a dozen times which isn't much fun with 4 kids and 4 carseats.have been stuck along highways and interstates with a door that wont close.not safe!!!!!! I am also on my 3rd or 4th radio in this van. Everytime it goes out the dvd player wont work so I have to take it back again to have this fixed.time is way past due for a recall on these vehicles. If anyone knows anyone looking for a slightly used vehicle I have a 2007 terraza for sale...lol. *kb

Sliding side doors will not close and lock, will open when driving down the road, at red light , night times lights dim and alarm goes off ,nothing lights up on dash , drains batt- in shop 4 or 5 x"s when talked to corp. Office about the danger of grandkids in back, stated due to living in florida, being wet, there is nothing they can due. So until someone gets hurt or dies, it is more or less oh well... By the way still under warr. Dealer stated the same thing... Yes I have all paperwork to this, put in shop not even one week after bought with smoking under hood. *tr
