I've had plenty of Buick in the bay over the years, and the tire-related complaints on these don't surprise me. 62 on the NHTSA record across 13 model-year entries (2005–2019) is not a fluke. The 2013 Buick Verano leads the list but the pattern shows up across multiple years and models. Not a one-off. 2 crash reports on file. Not a high count, but the failure mode has put owners in the position to file. Repair cost runs around $150 on average — relatively low for an aggregated category. Drive it across the conditions it will actually see — heat, cold, highway, stop-and-go. Pattern complaints surface under load, not in the dealer parking lot.
