2016 Buick Verano owner complaints

- The side detection module became corroded, blew a fuse and stopped functioning. This was reported in a service bulletin and extended warranty protection for some GM vehicles, but not the Buick Verano. [XXX] - This happened while driving. The vehicle would still drive, but lost all gauge functions (No speedometer, tachometer, fuel, or temp gauges). -The side obstacle detection system does not work. -The system also interferes with the passenger side airbag and leaves it turned OFF with a passenger in the seat. These obviously all create a serious safety risk and have not been covered by a recall for this vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The intake cam solenoid value failed without any warning. No light came on to warn me. The car would not accelerate and almost completely stop. I was entering a very usy interstate I - 20 and the car was stalling as other cars were speeding behind me. I could not accelerate at a safe speed. I made it to an exit. The car shut off . I put gas in because I was on a half tank. I thought it was gas related. I tried to leave the gas station the car cut off again. I had the car tolled to the dealership. I was told they didn't know why that happened. This was very dangerous to me with no warning that something was wrong. I could have been injured. Please explain to me what happen. I consider this a major safety issue. The vehicle was in motion on an interstate and stationary trying to go

Beginning in may, I started noticing odd declines in accelerations, randomly, even when using cruise control. Then, I almost stalled out on the road & lost power steering. This is dangerous & scary. I took it to the dealership & reported a hard shift from 1st to 2nd gear and my radio shutting off randomly, too. After looking over my car, I was told they could not 'replicate the issue' of losing power, and that they needed a code or an error message & to bring it back when I had that! I guess, it's ok with gm if I'm in an accident (or die) in the meantime, & I was told that the hard shift is just how the car runs. These answers are unacceptable. If a car is dangerous, you don't send a person back out on the road because you can't 'replicate' the issue. Furthermore, a serious hard shi

With regard to my complaint # 11040554 filed on line last month. Please be advised that so far no serious action have been taken to fix the problem in spite as per the gm adviser mr craig to check the car with two different Buick dealer mechanics who failed to address the problem to fix it. The problem still exist and the danger of the pass whatever he/she ia a boy or adult cannot be avoidable . So please advise me to avoid any possible danger and the car still under the manufacture warranty. Awaiting your help . Thanks

Pass air bag light was off most the time when a pass is there. Reported the problem two times to gm dealer near to me. But the dealer was unable to fix it. Call gm and reported it, with a case # [xxx] on 10/26/17, without any response till now. Please advise me about situation. Thanks VIN# [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Buick issued a Special Coverage Adjustment notice for the passenger prescence sensor Reference Number: N15202352 Letter was sent to all customers, I did not ever receive it. I recently started experiencing error messages with my airbags. Upon taking it to the dealer, the airbag sensor issue is related to the notice listed above. Because I never received the notice, I wasn't on alert for issues. I had to pay the full amount for the fix. My bigger concern is that with the airbag service error going off - if I had been in an accident, the airbag might not have deployed. This known issue should have been a recall and fixed in this car.

The contact owns a 2016 Buick Verano. The contact stated while starting the vehicle and driving at an undisclosed speed, the front passenger's side seat sensor failed to detect a passenger in the seat. The “Air Bag Off” and “Service Air Bag” messages were displayed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact related the failure to Special Coverage Adjustment: 23520 Passenger Presence Sensor (PPS) Module; however, the VIN was not included in the Special Coverage Adjustment. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 134,700.

While driving home from work, my car, lost power a few times. Though, the maintenance malfunction light did come on, it was while the issue was occurring. I mention this because, in the car’s manual, it states that the light will come on BEFORE the malfunction takes place. I finally made it home, however, the car did continue to lose power while driving. The next morning I took the car to my mechanic, who experienced the same issues, then did a diagnostic test and found these results: P0011; CAM Position; RCTISATOR BNK 1; TIMING OVER ADVANCE. Today while reading over all of the complaints, it is evident that this is a SERIOUS ISSUE! This malfunction is extremely dangerous and can prove to be fatal, due to losing driving power/car cutting off while driving. I am surprised that this potentia

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 Buick verano. While driving approximately 80 MPH, the gear shifted so hard that the vehicle jolted and caused the front passenger to strike the dashboard. There were no injuries. The service air bag warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (hirning Buick GMC, pocatello, id, 208-232-8900) where a road test was performed, but the failure was not duplicated. The failure recurred and the vehicle was taken to another dealer (wackerli Buick, idaho falls, id, 208-522-606) where it was diagnosed that the air bag sensors needed to be replaced. The sensors were replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximat

After consulting with a certified technician, I’ve learned this model uses the same 6-speed transmission (6T40) found in several GM vehicles, and that it’s widely known to fail prematurely—many as early as 100K–117K miles. There are dozens of similar consumer complaints filed with NHTSA and discussed online. These are not isolated incidents but part of a consistent pattern of early, costly failures.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 Buick verano. While attempting to make a left turn, part of the subframe connected to the windshield obstructed the contact's vision. The issue made it difficult to effectively complete the turn. As a result, the contact drove over a curb. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,500. The VIN was unavailable. Updated 12/23/16*lj

The paint has severely faded, chipping, and it is not from environmental factors- I have less than 30,000 miles on a 2016 Buick Verano. There are multiple websites confirming other consumers have had the same issues with their 2015/2016 Buick Verano.

I purchased my 2016 Buick verano on july 23, 2016. That evening while visiting friends, my wife and I left after it became dark. As we started to drive we noticed we could only see out of the lower quarter of the windshield. If I put the high beams on viewing becomes better. But you cannot drive around with the high beams on, all the time! I cannot drive this vehicle at night for fear of having an accident and hurting my family or another family in another vehicle. Tried to trade but they wanted to deduct $10,000.00 of my vehicle. Gm has no concerns for their customer's complaints as I even sent a letter directly to ceo of gm. In one communications with gm they told me, there was no fix for this and case was closed.

When I get on the highway the left front wheel shakes like it is getting ready to fall off. After I've been on the road for a while it stops. I've had front end alignment, balancing and tire rotation. It still does it every morning.

Fuel Sending Unit. Yes. Loss of power and control of vehicle due to no fuel. Mechanics have confirmed it as a common problem with GM fuel sending unit/pump No. No warnings, no lights, no indication of problem. I received a second pump and sending unit from GM and had the same problem for a 2nd time of fuel reading inaccurately and causing me to lose vehicle functionality.

Head lights are not bright enough and pose a very significant danger. Dealer says that it is standard.I have complained on 2 warranty service visits including today.

The a/c turns off due to high engine temperature. There is a loud fan noise. Sounds like my car is still on. The alert turns on and off randomly.
