2013 Buick Verano owner complaints

I was driving through a construction zone when my steering wheel locked up. It surprised me and caused me panic somewhat. The lane was very narrow and started to turn, but my steering wheel did not respond the way it should. It took a lot of effort to turn the wheels. The car got too close to the cement guardrails and collided with them on the passenger side up by the front wheel. The car has damage at the site of impact and now the stabilitrac system has a fail light on. Also, the car shakes when driven, and there is a general loss of control when steering now. *tr

On 10/6/2020, I was riding as the front passenger in our 2013 Buick verano. We were traveling on the highway (70 MPH) and hit a bump at the start of a bridge. A warning light illuminated, the engine RPM suddenly increased as if the transmission downshifted, the car decelerated and my wife pulled to the shoulder. We stopped, checked the gear shift and it was still in drive, the warning light disappeared, and everything seemed normal.

Between 8 & 17 MIL the trans has a deed spot, when the trans catches the car jumps. *tr

Airbag system failure and warning constantly on the vehicle. GM knows of the issue but will not offer a recall, instead only an expired special coverage adjustment. The part involved is the passenger present sensor (PPS)module. That reference number is : N15202352 Release date November 2016. Airbags on Buick veranos will not deploy with this well known issue. Gms own words. Force a recall, my family could die in this car.

1) warning icon to check air bag keeps coming on while the car is in motion 2) cannot lock front passenger seatbelt

Periodically the driver 'service air bag' light comes on for no reason. It only stays on for a few moments up to a few minutes. Sometimes when I honk the horn the light goes off. Took it to the shop and the tech said if the light is not on he couldn't check the problem. I noticed there was a recall notice on my make and model, but not on my VIN number for the same problem. Tech said if the service light is on then the airbag would not deploy. Please advise.

Radio shuts off for no reason and come back on either driving or in park and the problem with the turn signal sometimes

At start of car blower heater didnt come on or blow first heavy snow.

In checking, my oil found that the oil was low but I’ve had no leaks concerned about where the oil is going and the oil consumption. I change my oil about twice a year. The car only has 45,000 miles on it..

Just recently purchased a 2013 Buick verano with less than 15,000 miles on it. I've already had to replace two tires before hitting my two week mark. Each time I was driving 30mph and under each time a blow out occurred. Researched and found out that these continental tires have been not only been recalled but the continental procontact 235/45 18 have had many issues blowing out at moments notice. But not yet recalled along with previous continental tires. These tires need to be recalled again and taken off the market before a tragic injury occurres if it hasnt happened already. *tr

I was driving in vernon bc and coming to a stop light when the engine quit. I had to stop put car in park and restart. The problem occured in a parking lot about ten minutes later. I called the dealer and they said if no engine light on there was nothing that could be done. I drove for over 2000 miles and the fuel pump became noisy and that was changed. All was well until dec.1 2014 when driving in florida the car stalled while slowing for a stop light. Put in park and started again. Called dealer and they can't help. The only other thing was the temperature was about 85 f all three times. *js

The car had seemed a bit "sluggish" or "draggy" but I thought it was possibly from the cold weather. After about two days of this, we were traveling out of town for thanksgiving. At a stoplight, as I was slowing to a stop, my car just died. The radio and heat went off and the car just coasted to a stop. I put the car in park to start it but just got an awful grinding sound. I tried again and it started but was very jerky. I thought maybe I got some bad gas as it happened again that day. The next day I added some drygas and filled the tank with a better grade gas. It behaved for two days but it happened again today although I only slowed down to get off of a highway when it did it. Luckily it was early on sunday with very little traffic or it could have been bad. Is this going to be anoth

Paint on hood, top, and trunk lid fading off. Car was manufactured in lake orion michigan. Heard many of the same complaints from this same assembly plant. Is there a class action lawsuit on this matter, very angry and concerned.

I purchased this vehicle and the next day the front seat belts began to rattle, and there is an air noise on the passenger side window. We told the dealership and they said they would have to have the car for several days. We told them we were on our way and that we would just have it fixed when the oil required changing. We finally took the car into the dealership and the next day we were told the car was ready. When we went to pick up the car they said that they could not fix the seat belts nor could they fix the air leak. They said it was a designed flaw. We called GMC and they stated they could not fix it and that all veranos had the same problem. *tr
