Tl* the contact owns a 2012 Buick verano. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled while driving various speeds. The contact was able to push the start engine button and regain normal function. Also, the engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to patrick Buick GMC & used car supercenter (4700 w henrietta road, henrietta, ny 14467, (585) 359-2200). The dealer performed a diagnostic test and replaced an unknown part in the engine.

The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 Buick verano. While inspecting the vehicle, it was discovered that the engine oil was very low. The contact indicated that the oil was last changed in october of 2017. There was no warning message displayed indicating that the oil was low. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The local dealer (axelrod Buick in parma, ohio) and the manufacturer were both notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 66,256.

Ses light periodically keeps coming on beginning at 49,000 miles in 2015. It is always regarding problem camshaft position actuator solenoid/sensor code: p0014. It came on again last year at around 82,000 miles and then came on again 10 days later. Last year dealership mechanic at least knew something about engines and some parts to change instead of just letting a computer tell him what parts so changed timing kit and water pump kit for loose chains. Human fix was not the end of the problem either as same problem happened this year nov-13-2018 at 92,000. Usually when it happens vehicle runs rough when idling or stalls out on accel, blocking the roadway until you can get the vehicle in motion again. This year did not stall out but made funny tapping noise on accel/decel and almost all of t

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 Buick verano. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled intermittently several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. However, the technician was not able to replicate or diagnose the failure. The vehicle was to be taken back to an authorized dealer for further inspection and diagnosis. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was not available.

Extreme oil consumption without warning. Oil level was still at 60% and oil change was not yet indicated by the mileage. I noticed the engine was running roughly and took the car to my mechanic. The dipstick was dry.

My car has started to burn oil quickly in the past and I was bringing my car to get oil changes more frequently than the sticker was saying at the dealership. Recently my car showed no oil on the dipstick after my car stopped running. 2 quarts of oil was added and the oil only showed at the tip of the dipstick. My engine was tapping a few weeks prior to my car no longer running. I brought the car to the dealership and they informed me that there was not a recall on my vehicle, but upon checking there was a recall in 2016 for this exact matter. My car is still not running and has been down since October 22, 2021. The dealership is stating that they cannot fix my car because there is not an open recall, but this recall was in 2016 and I was never made aware of the recall nor was I said any c

While pulling into my home driveway, when I applied brakes . And the car started to accelerate causing me to hit my other vehicle and then the car proceeded into the side of my house . I just 2 days prior had my car inspected at firestone, I also just had new brakes and rotors replaced less than 5 months prior, also the airbag light came on earlier that day, I was coming home from firestone and noticed the car was accelerating and deceleration while driving which was less than 10 mile from my home .

I was driving home around 6: 55pm going west on 152 when a car coming n the opposite direction headlights blinded me n I went up on the divider in the middle of the road. I felt that I hit the divider so I came off trying to avoid hitting other vehicles n continued driving out of fear. My on star came on letting me know that they knew I had an accident and checking to see if I was alright. I told them I smelled smoke and a funny smell they informed me that smell was from my air bags deploying which they did not. I told them I didn't need help my car was still operable so they informed me to get my air bags checked and hung up. I called home because I was scared and realize my seatbelt had me pinned to my chair and couldn't move. My son had to get me out of my driver seat with force. If m

There was a recall with special policy on the passenger air bag. I want to know why I didn't receive a recall form in the mail. Gm told me that it expired september 2019. I am now having problems with a message on my car stating service air bag. I take to get diagnostic and was told it needed a new module and sensor light which will cost me $1600 that is not a fault of mine, but is a factory defect and I have a child that ride's in the vehicle with me daily.

This Buick verano has cascading electrical system problems. While driving at highway speed the engine stopped and would not restart. This left my wife with only a few seconds to steer the car to the shoulder. It was a dangerous situation just past the crest of a bridge. The car was towed to the dealer and we were informed that a frayed wire had shorted out and blew a fuse. Two days later the car was "repaired" and died in a similar fashion. After a week's consultation with gm we were informed the car was "fixed". The service manager stated he would not want his wife to drive this car. So we won't either. This followed a repair a month before which was caused by the battery being installed over a portion of the wiring harness. These problems started at 11 months and 11,237 miles.

10/26/15 - car wouldn't start; recv'd jump, replaced battery ($169.40). 11/6/15 - came out of restaurant, car wouldn't start. Got jump took to dealer. Dealer replaced starter and issue resolved. 11/12-11/21: car stalled 8-10 more documented times both when backing out of parking spot in reverse and at vehicle speeds varying from 35mph to 67mph on 5 lane interstate during rush hour. Took to dealer and called gm. Replaced two solenoids and some hose, keeping car so tech can drive for 2 days to see if problem can be replicated. I can't determine a cause or pattern and don't get any prior warning, so hoping it does occur in their possession during testing. This vehicle is unreliable and very dangerous. I almost caused a multiple vehicle accident on the interstate and risk injury or d

The vehicle is unreliable, unpredictable and dangerous to drive, since you do not have any warning or know when and where the engine will die. The engine died while driving 60 MPH on a two lane highway, leaving only a few seconds to steer onto the shoulder. The car would not restart. This was following an earlier electrical system problem four weeks before in which multiple warning lights stayed on after starting the engine and the transmission would not go into gear (we were told this was caused by the battery being installed over a portion of the wiring harness and eventually cutting the wires). This was repaired by replacing several computer modules and portions of the wring harness. The earlier repair, was double checked by another Buick dealership and we were assured that the vehicle

Corrosion and faulty connection to positive cable I have had to replace battery 2 times in the past year. The battery bracket is corroding and the computer. Positive cable terminal

On 10/11/2017 I was driving my car attempting to make a right turn and my car steering wheel locked on me and my power steering light came on I took it in on 10/12/17 to my local Buick dealer service but light came on again 10/13/17 I took it back on 10/14/17 they said my computer program was not reprogramed but my light came on again 10/23/17 I am so scared to drive my car

While driving at 65 MPH in the right lane of a 4-lane divided highway, my engine quit, and all gauges went dark. I had steering, brakes, turn signal and hazard lights, and telephone. I was losing speed, and was unable to accelerate. However, I was able to coast to the shoulder of the highway. I was not able to restart the car. I put on the hazard lights and used my cell phone to call the dealer. After 10 - 15 minutes of waiting, I was able to restart the car. A representative from the dealer had just arrived and followed me to the dealership. They kept the car overnight. They could not duplicate the episode, so they reset the computer. I am suspicious that the computer activated the engine immobilizer feature. The engine stall was preceded by several instances of the intellilin

I was pulling into a parking spot and started hitting the brakes the car accelerated by itself and hit a pole. No my foot was no where near accelerator. This is the second time I have had this happen thank good the first time I didn't hit anything. I have done research online and I am not the only one this has happen to. I bought this car with 44,000 mile on it an it has been in the shop more then out. This defect almost killed me and my family, because I almost hit a wall

Today I was driving my 2012 Buick verano and without any advanced notice (ie.. Lights illuminated on dashboard) my vehicle lost power and just started to creep to a full stop. The dashboard was black nothing to tell me what the problem was. Thank god they have created a large pull off on the highway or I would have been really hurt. I tried several time to restart my vehicle the restarting process was not the problem it was putting the car in gear every time I tried to put the vehicle in gear it would shut off and the engine light is now on.
