HELLO, I HAVE A 2005 BUICK TERRAZA CX AWD. MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AND WHEN IT DID THE VEHICLE STARTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES ITSELF PULLING THE VEHICLE TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING. I COULDN'T CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I STARTED READING UP ON THIS, AND IT APPEARS MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE BEEN HAVING THIS SAME UNSAFE PROBLEM OVER THE YEARS AND NO RECALL IS BEEN DONE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE!!! I'M SURPRISE NO ONE HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND BEEN KILLED. I ALSO NOTICE THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES AS WELL TO THE MANUFACTURE AND THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT BUT COME UP WITH EXCUSES TO THE OWNERS LIKE MYSELF. DO SOMEONE HAS TO BE KILLED BEFORE A RECALL IS DONE? I MYSELF IS GOING TO TAKE MY VIDEO I HAD FILMING ON MY WINDSHIELD WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCURRED AND SEND IT TO ALL THE MAJOR NEWS MEDIA GROUPS IN THIS COUNTRY AND PUT IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL. THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING MY COMPLAINT, AND HOPEFULLY THE GOVERNMENT MAKE BUICK THE MANUFACTURE DO A SAFETY RECALL ASAP. I CAN'T UPLOAD MY VIDEO BECAUSE IT'S OVER THE MAXIMUM SIZE ALLOWED TO UPLOAD ON THIS WEBSITE.

BRAKES FELT UNEASY STOPPING DID NOT RESPOND RIGHT AWAY SOMETIME HAD TO PULL A SIDE TO PREVENT ACCIDENT. ALTERNATOR DON'T START AT ALL AND ABS LIGHT STAYED ON MOST OF TIME MANY REPAIRS DONE SAME PROBLEM AT DEALER SHIP.

POWER SLIDING DOOR ALARM WILL SOUND GOING DOWN THE ROAD SAYING THE DOOR IS AJAR EVEN WHEN DOOR IS LOCKED CLOSED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK TERRAZA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND THE "TRACK SYSTEM" AND "STABILITY" INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS TAKEN TO THE ROGERS DABBS CHEVROLET DEALER AT 1501 W GOVERNMENT ST. IN BRANDON, MS WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED. THE DIAGNOSIS RESULTS WERE UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK TERRAZA. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE PEDAL SEIZED. ALSO, THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A FIRE HYDRANT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER (RON SMITH BUICK GMC 1900 AUTO CENTER DRIVE, MERCED, CA 95340), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 84,000.

AT 90,900 MILEAGE ON MY VAN, I STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY STABILITY CONTROL, ABS, AND MY TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. WHEN DRIVING AT NUMEROUS SPEEDS, THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM WOULD KICK IN, WOULD GRAB AT MY DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WHEEL AND MAKE THE VAN SWERVE TO THE LEFT. ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, IT WOULD SAY TO "SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL". THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS TRAVELING AT 40 MPH, AT 20 MPH, AND JUST STARTING TO DRIVE AFTER TAKING A TURN. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME TODAY TO WHERE I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL KICKED IN ON DRY PAVEMENT WHILE I WAS GOING LESS THAN 30 MPH. I HAVE HAD MY 4 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED AND HAS SCARED THEM AS WELL AS MYSELF AND MY HUSBAND. THIS VEHICLE IS OUR MAIN FORM OF TRANSPORTATION.

THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS DISENGAGED WHEN THE VAN HIT A BUMP WHILE IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN NATURAL AND RESTART IT BUT IT WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING ORDEAL. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON STREETS TRAVELING 30 MPH.

WHEN DRIVING, USUALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ONE OF THE FRONT BRAKES WILL AUTOMATICALLY GRIP, MAKING THE NOSE DIVE AND MAKING IT HATS TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE MESSAGE DISPLAYED SAYS TO SERVICE THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, WHICH WE HAVE DONE WITH NO RESOLUTION. WE HAVE NEARLY GOTTEN IN WRECKS.

THE 2005 BUICK TERRAZA IS EQUIPPED WITH A GM STABILITRACK SYSTEM, WHICH COMBINES ANTI-LOCK BRAKE, TRACTION AND STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEMS. I WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT 60 MPH ON A STRAIGHT ROAD DURING A DRY, SUNNY DAY AND FULLY LOADED WITH CAMPING GEAR, CHILDREN, THEIR COMPUTER GAMES AND MY WIFE. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLING A SMALL TRAILER. IN AN INSTANT, THE VAN LURCHED AS THE BRAKES ENGAGED ON THEIR OWN. WE LOST 20 MILES PER HOUR IN A SECOND. WE PITCHED FORWARD IN OUR SEAT BELTS, AND THE VAN SWERVED TO THE LEFT INTO THE OTHER LANE OF THE INTERSTATE. I STEERED AS BEST I COULD, BUT IT FELT LIKE SUGGESTING A DIRECTION MORE THAN DRIVING. EVERYTHING WAS MUSHY AND THE TRAILER WANTED TO KEEP GOING. WE PITCHED LEFT AND RIGHT TWICE. I MANAGED TO STEER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND STOP. I BREATHED AND PRESSED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS. THE KIDS ASKED WHAT HAPPENED, AND I MANAGED TO SAY THAT WE ONLY TOOK A YEAR OFF OF MY LIFE, SAVED THEIRS, AND ENDED THE LIFE OF THIS VAN. A MILE AHEAD, THE INTERSTATE WAS RESTRICTED TO ONE LANE GOING EACH DIRECTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK TERRAZA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, AND ABS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK TERRAZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED STALLING WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE ESC WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 74,953. UPDATED 06/29/16*LJ *TR

HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. I WAS GETTING VERY LITTLE HEAT AND LOTS OF COLD AIR SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED. THEY SAID THERE WAS A BROKEN DOOR ACTUATOR AND THE COMPUTER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. VERY EXPENSIVE. SO THEY FIXED THE DOOR SO IT WOULD STAY CLOSED AND BLOCK COLD AIR. I BELIEVE THEY DISCONNECTED THE MODULE AS WELL. SO, NOW I HAVE A LITTLE HEAT, BUT NO AIR CONDITIONING. THE CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING HAPPEN BEFORE IN ANY CAR, EVEN VERY OLD ONES! I BELIEVE THE PARTS MUST HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE IN ORDER TO FAIL. I LIVE IN NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND I NEED HEAT!

I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS 2005 BUICK TERRAZA CX. AS PER CARFAX THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BEAUTIFULLY MAINTAINED. AFTER A WEEK OF HAVING MY VEHICLE I WILL BE DRIVING AROUND AND THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE WILL SCREECH ON ITS BREAKS AND PULL TO THE RIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR AND A WEEK LATER IT CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY BRAKE WHEN EXCELLERATING, OR EVEN TURNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW. IT IS VERY SCARY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOUR VEHICLE SCREECHES TO A HALT AND HAS THE VEHICLE SWERVE.

WELL IT HAPPENED ON DATE SPECIFIED SLIDE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN NOR WILL THEY OPEN MANUALLY !! THIS IS LIFE OR DEATH ORDEAL SINCE I CAN'T SEEM GET THEM OPEN !!!

AS WE WERE DRIVING HOME IN MAY OF 2014 THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE GRABBED AS IF I HAD APPLIED THE BRAKE,SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD BOTH WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED LOWER BALL JOINTS AND TIE ROD ENDS BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED. IT HAS GRABBED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN,THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER THAT SHOULD BE DEALT WITH, I REFUSE TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE VAN ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE OUR FIVE CHILDREN WITH US BECAUSE WHEN THIS OCCURS IT JERKS THE TO THE LEFT TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR

DURING CRUISE ON HIGHWAY (I-95 IN FLORIDA) WHILE ON VACATION THE LEFT REAR POWER SLIDING DOOR BECAME UNLATCHED AND WARNING CHIMES SOUNDED REPEATEDLY AND INTERIOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, THIS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AGAIN ON THIS TRIP THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION BY THE NHTSA IN 2008 REPORT #EA07019 WHICH DETERMINED NO DEFECT WAS PRESENT WHICH WOULD REQUIRE A RECALL. I BEG TO DIFFER WITH THAT ASSESSMENT THERE MOST CERTAINLY IS A PROBLEM HERE, GM ISSUED TSB #07-08-007 AND #07-08-007 A-D WHICH TELLS DEALERSHIPS HOW TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AGAIN IT IS VERY UNSETTLING TO HAVE MY KIDS RIDING IN THE REAR AND HAVING A DOOR UNLATCH AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK TERRAZA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE WHEELS LOCKED UP WITH OUT WARNING PREVENTING THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE POSITION SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

WHILE TRYING TO SHIFT, THE SHIFTING LEVER DISCONNECTED TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT GEARS. THE SHIFTING ASSEMBLY APPEARED TO COME APART. I AM NOT ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THIS . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK TERRAZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WAS BUMPED AS THE CONTACT DROVE OVER A SPEED BUMP AND THE VEHICLE STALLED.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,499.

WE WERE PULLING INTO WALMART PARKING LOT AND HIT STREET BUMP THAT TURN ONTO WALMART'S PROPERTY AND THE SUDDEN JERK MADE THE KEYS POP OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE THE VAN WAS IN MOTION. THE KEYS WERE ON THE FLOOR BUT THE VEHICLE WAS STEEL IN MOTION. AS WE PARKED THE VEHICLE I PUT THE KEY BACK INTO THE IGNITION LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I TURN THE VAN OF, THEN WAITED A FEW MINUTE AND STARTED THE VEHICLE AND BEHOLD THE KEY WOULD SURELY COME OUT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER SIERRA CHEVROLET IN BARTLET, TN AND THEY CHECKED THE VEHICLE OUT AND SAID IT WAS A BAD CUT IN THE KEY. THAT MEANS A BUMP KEY WOULD START THE VEHICLE. THE IGNITION SWITCH IS FAULTY, AND SEEING GM RECALL LIST, THE BUICK TERRAZA 05 SHOULD BE ON THAT LIST. I'M WRITING BUICK/GM WITH THIS STATEMENT AND REQUEST. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AT 30 MILES AN HOUR I HEARD A STRANGE NOISE AND THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE CLOSED FOR A SECOND WHICH CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO JERK TO THE LEFT. SINCE THAT FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE FROM 15 TO 70 MILES AN HOUR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO DEALERS WHICH FOUND VARIOUS CODES. APPARENTLY THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN CONCERNING THE WIRING HARNESS BECAUSE BOTH DEALERS REROUTED THE HARNESS SEVERAL TIMES AND PUT A SHIELD ON IT EACH TIME. I HAD THE STEERING SENSOR REPLACED ONE TIME FOR $200 AND THE YAW SENSOR FOR $400. AFTER THE YAW SENSOR WAS CHANGED THE VEHICLE DID NOT GIVE ME ANY PROBLEM FOR A FULL YEAR. IT STARTED AGAIN SO THIS TIME I PULLED THE FUSE ON THE ABS BRAKES WHICH GIVES YOU STANDARD BRAKES AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY MORE PROBLEMS. I NOW HAVE 120,000 MILES. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM. IF I KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL I CAN REACT TO THE PROBLEM BUT I AM AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE VAN. I LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE VAN SO I HATE TO GET RID OF IT. I HAVE DRIVEN CARS WITH OUT ABS BRAKES ALL MY LIFE SO I WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT THIS WAY. I FEEL IT IS SAFER THIS WAY THAN LETTING THE BRAKE ENGAGE ON ITS ON. *TR

2005 BUICK TERRAZA WHILE DOORS ARE LOCKED AND YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE SLIDING DOORS DECIDE TO OPEN ALL ON THEIR OWN. YOU HAVE TO STOP THE VAN AND SHUT THE DOORS. WITH THE DOOR BUTTONS ARE TURNED OFF THEY STILL OPEN JUST NOT AS OFTEN. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

BUICK TERRAZA JUST SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING (AT VARIOUS SPEEDS) OR STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN WITH DISPLAY STATING, "STARTING DISABLED, REDUCED ENGINE POWER." I MUST TRY TO GET TO THE SIDE QUICKLY. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS, THE VAN RESTARTS AND CONTINUES FOR A WHILE UNTIL IT DOES THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN. *TR

I WANT TO REPORT A VERY UNUSUAL INCIDENT THAT MY WIFE AND I EXPERIENCED JANUARY 7, 2014 INVOLVING OUR 2005 BUICK TERRAZA AUTOMOBILE. IT WAS A SCARY EVENT OF WHICH I AM STILL TRYING TO FIND THE EXACT CAUSE. WHILE DESCENDING FROM THE COCOA BRIDGE CROWN, AT AROUND FORTY FIVE MPH, I LIGHTLY APPLIED THE BRAKES TO ADJUST TO THE TRAFFIC SPEED. WHEN BAM THE LEFT WHEEL LOCK UP JERKING US TOWARD THE CEMENT RAILS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BRIDGE, THEN THE CAR TRACTION CONTROL' CUT IN AND SLOWED THE VEHICLE. OTHER CAR TIRES WERE SQUEALING AROUND US AS THEY WERE TRYING TO AVOID HITTING US. I WOULD SAY THE WHEEL LOCKUP WAS ONE SECOND OR LESS AND THE WHOLE INCIDENT LASTED FROM THREE TO FIVE SECONDS. THEN THE CAR RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION WITH NO FURTHER HINT OF THIS PROBLEM FOR THE NEXT FORTY MILES. I'VE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS SAME EXACT INCIDENT INCLUDING MANY COMPLAINTS ON YOUR SYSTEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO OUR LOCAL GARAGE AND THEY SAID THE ABS COMPUTER SYSTEM SHOWED NO FAULTS AND FOUND NO MECHANICAL REASON FOR THIS WHEEL TO LOCK UP. MY NEXT STOP WAS THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR TWENTY FIVE MILES AWAY. LANE BUICK GMC CHECKED IT OUT AND REPORTED THE SAME THING EXCEPT THE MECHANIC WROTE 'CORRECTED BY SUSPENSION REPAIR' WHICH SUGGESTS THAT HE FIXED SOMETHING, WHAT EVER IT WAS. YET I UNDERSTOOD FROM THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS UNHEARD EVENT. I NEXT CALLED BUICK IN DETROIT, MI THEY WERE OF LITTLE HELP SAYING IF IT DI

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK TERRAZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING TO CAPACITY, THE FUEL GAUGE ERRONEOUSLY PROVIDED AN EMPTY READING. THE LOW FUEL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTION.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. UPDATED 08/27/13*LJ

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK TERRAZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SQUEAKING NOISE BEING EMITTED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V110000 (SUSPENSION). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

RANDOMLY, WHILE DRIVING THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATES THE BRAKES, PULLING THE CAR TO ONE-SIDE. IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY, IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT. AFTER THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR'S "TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVE" MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. PARKING THE CAR, TURNING IT OFF, AND RESTARTING THE CAR CAUSES THE MESSAGE TO GO AWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 WEEKS AT SPEEDS VARYING FROM 5-35 MILES PER HOUR. I FEAR THAT IT COULD BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS.. THE CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED, PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, BY AN ASE CERTIFIED SHOP AND BOTH FRONT WHEEL HUBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITHIN THE PAST 18 MONTHS, WHICH HAVE INTEGRATED WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. I HAVE READ THAT MOST SHOPS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO PINPOINT ANY REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT I DO PLAN TO HAVE MY MECHANIC INVESTIGATE AND SEE IF THE COMPUTER IS REPORTING ANY ERROR CODES. *TR

AS WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WE HAD TO SLAMMED THE BRAKES AND THEY GOT LOCKED UP. WE TRIED TO UNLOCK THEM AND AT THE TIME WE DID. ABOUT TWO DAYS LATER THEY GOT LOCKED UP AGAIN THIS TIME SMOKED CAME OUT OF THE FRONT WHEELS. WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE TRIED TO UNLOCK THEM WHICH HE DID. THEN AGAIN THAT SAME DAY THAT IT WAS FIXED IT GOT LOCKED UP. THIS HAPPENED WHILE ON VACATION. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK AS IT WAS FOR ABOUT 2000 MILES WITH LITTLE TO NO BRAKES AT TIME. WE KNOW THIS NOT NORMAL AND WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I AM SENDING YOU INFORMATION ON MY 2005 BUICK TERRAZA, I AM ALSO THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THIS INFORMATION IS REGARDING MY REAR BRAKE PROBLEM THAT I FEEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED ON YOUR DEFECT LIST. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ALREADY COVERED UNDER THE NHTSA RECALL ID 05V287000. HOWEVER, GENERAL MOTORS BUICK DIVISION FEELS DIFFERENTLY AND CLAIMS MY VEHICLE ID NUMBER WAS NOT A PART OF THEIR RECALL. CONSEQUENTLY THEY HAVE DENIED MY REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT CLAIM IN THE AMOUNT OF $452.60 TO CORRECT MY BRAKE PROBLEM ON THE VEHICLE. SINCE THIS DISPUTE HAS NOT BEEN SETTLED TO MY SATISFACTION; I AM REQUESTING THAT YOU PUT THIS INFORMATION ON FILE IN THE NHTSA DATABASE AS "UNINTENDED BRAKING WHEN ACCELERATING AND THE CAUSE IS LEVER SLIPPAGE AT EACH REAR BRAKE CALIPER".I HAVE MAINTAINED A FILE FOLDER ON THIS BUICK,TERRAZA BRAKING DEFECT AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE ALL MY INFORMATION WITH NHTSA. BUICK, GM OWES ME $452.60. THIS IS THEIR SAFETY ISSUE THAT I HAD TO HAVE CORRECTED. *TR

MY PASSENGER DOORS WILL NOT LOCK ALSO DOOR OPEN WHY DRIVING AND MY T/C COME ON WHY DRIVING 55 TO 60 MILES A HOUR ITS FEELS LIKE U ON BRAKES SLOW DOWN. *TR

THERE ARE SEVERAL DEFECTS THAT I AM EXPERIENCING WITH THIS VAN. THESE ISSUES ESCALATED THIS WEEKEND, THE TRACTION CONTROL AND SYSTEM STABILITY INDICATORS CAME ON AGAIN AND CAUSED THE BRAKES TO LOCK I CHANGED THE BRAKES BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE CAUSE IT WAS NOT. ALSO THE REAR SLIDING DOORS WILL OPEN WHILE DRIVING ON THEIR OWN. THIS VAN HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LOU FUSZ SAINT LOUIS, MO SEVERAL TIMES AND IT IS STILL NOT OPERATING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE BRAKES LOCKED UP, UNFORTUNATELY THAT IS NOT THE CASE WITH THE DOORS. I CANCELLED A TRIP TO THE ZOO WITH MY KIDS BECAUSE THE DOORS OPENED ON THEIR OWN WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, THEY ARE NOW AFRAID TO RIDE IN THE BACK SEATS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG. ABOUT 20MPH. STARTED TO GO OVER SOME REALLY BAD RAILROAD TRACKS. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. I DIDN'T RUN INTO ANYTHING. AND NOTHING HIT ME. IT WAS JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN. BECAUSE OF THE POSITION MY ARM WAS ON THE STEERING WHEEL I HAD INITIALLY THOUGHT THAT IT SNAPPED MY ARM IN TWO. HOWEVER. IT ISN'T BROKEN. BUT I DO HAVE VERY MINOR BURNS FROM THE CHEMICAL FROM THE AIRBAG. I CONTACTED BUICKS MAIN CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE BUT THEY ACT LIKE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE REAR DOOR ALARM STARTED SOUNDING AND THE REAR POWER SLIDING DOOR BEGAN TO OPEN. PULLED THE CAR OVER SHUT THE DOOR AND LOCKED IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK TERRAZA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL INVOLUNTARILY STEERED THE VEHICLE INTO THE RIGHT LANE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

FOR MONTHS, ALMOST 8 NOW, I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES TO HAVE MY 2005 BUICK TERRAZA SERVICED FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE SLIDING DOORS. I HAVE HAD THE LATCH SYSTEM REPLACED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR BECAUSE THE DOOR WOULD NOT SHUT AND WOULD CONTINUE TO DING. LESS THAN 8 MONTHS LATER I HAD THE ENTIRE POWER DOOR MODULE AND DOOR CONTACTS REPLACED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR. I ALSO HAD THE CONTACTS REPLACED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR, AND NOT EVEN 2 WEEKS AFTER BEING REPAIRED THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE AUTOMATICALLY AND WHEN WE MANUALLY CLOSED THE DOOR IT WOULD DING CONSTANTLY, EVEN WHILE DRIVING! SO ANOTHER TRIP INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND IT SEEMS I NEED TO SPEND ANOTHER $600 DOLLARS TO HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR LATCH SYSTEM COMPLETELY REPLACED, APPARENTLY IT WAS FINE 10 DAYS PRIOR WHEN I BROUGHT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THE FEW TIMES WE USED THE DOOR CAUSED MAJOR LATCH ISSUES. THIS YEAR ALONE I HAVE SPENT ALMOST $2200 ON THE SLIDING DOORS (NOT INCLUDING THE $600 I WILL BE SPENDING ONCE THE LATCH IS ORDERED AND REPLACED), THE DEALERSHIP LOVES SEEING ME WALK IN BECAUSE I HAVE YET TO SPEND LESS THAN $500 THERE AT A TIME. MY FUELS LINES HAD TO REPLACED WHEN THE VAN WAS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD, THAT IS ONLY AFTER THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS A THE FUEL SENSOR THAT NEEDED REPLACING, $375 FOR THAT AND WHEN I GOT THE VAN HOME I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE, COME TO FIND OUT, IT WAS NEV

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED, AND THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

2005 BUICK TERAZZA REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE OR STAY CLOSED. WHEN CLOSED, AN ALARM SOUNDS CONTINUOUSLY. HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SERVICED BY BUICK FOR OVER THREE YEARS. BUICK HAS REPLACED SOME OF THE PARTS, BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS TODAY. *TT

WE ALSO ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OUR 2005 BUICK TERRAZA. ITS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES NOW DUE TO THE ABS/TRACTION/STABILIZER ISSUES...AND WE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. IN THOSE 2 MONTHS ITS BEEN A CONSTANT HEADACHE!! WE HAVE STUCK ALOT OF MONEY IN TO THIS ALREADY, THEY KEPT TELLING ME THE WHEEL BEARINGS ARE OUT, WHICH AFTER 2 SETS OF 2 NEW HUBS, THEY SHOULD BE FINE. I DIDN'T EVEN LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP AND THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I AM A DAYCARE PROVIDER AND CANNOT AFFORD TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT SOUNDS LIKE THESE PROBLEMS THEY ARE HAVING WITH THIS ISSUE ARE LIFE THREATENING...SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP BEFORE INNOCENT PEOPLE START LOOSING THEIR LIVES OVER SOMETHING THAT LONG AGO SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED....IF SOMETHING HAPPENS ON THIS END, LEGAL ACTION WILL BE ADDRESSED AND I SUGGEST ALL OF YOU HAVING ISSUES DO THE SAME!! *TR

IN THE SUMMER OF 2010, I WAS DRIVING ON AN ON RAMP TO THE INTERSTATE WHEN IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKES GRABBED AND WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO ACCELERATE (53604 MILES). THE CAR PULLED TO THE LEFT, AND I HAD TO WORK OVERTIME TO GET THE CAR TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SEVERAL CARS WERE BEHIND ME ' EXPECTING ME TO SPEED UP ' AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY BAD SITUATION. I WAS TOWED TO A BUICK DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY COULD NOT RE-CREATE THE ISSUE. THE MANAGER THEN GOT IN THE CAR WITH ME DRIVING SO THAT WE COULD SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. WE DIDN'T GET FAR BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I SPECULATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS WITH THE ABS SYSTEM, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE SO MY THOUGHTS COULD NOT BE AFFIRMED. FAST FORWARD TO JANUARY 2011, MY ABS SYMBOL AND 'SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM' ALERT COME ON, AND THE CAR GRABS AND MAKES A CRUNCHING SOUND (59287 MILES). *TR
