NEITHER BUICK NOR THE DEALER WILL DO ANYTHING TO COMPENSATE ME FOR MY LOSS OF SECURITY IN THIS VEHICLE. IT THE LAST AND BIGGEST PROBLEM WAS WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY ON A CROWDED SATURDAY AFTERNOON, THE STEERIN

AFTER HAVING MY CAR REPAIRED & RETURNED ON 9/21/2010 MY VAN STARTING REPEATING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN ON 9/24/2010. THE PROBLEM IS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE ABS ENGAGES CAUSING THE VAN TO JERK & LURCH NARROWLY AVOIDING A WRECK. RETURNED THE VAN TO THE DEALER FOR DAYS, WAS TOLD IT WAS THE YAW RATE SENSOR WHICH WAS REPLACED LESS THAN A WEEK BEFORE. DEALER AGREED THAT IT COULDN'T BE THAT BUT WAS NEVER ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY CLEARED THE CODE AND RETURNED THE VAN ON THE 10/1/2010 WITHOUT ANY REPAIR BEING DONE. THIS THE THIRD TIME WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH GM. THERE MUST BE A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. ALL REMOVED PARTS WERE RETAINED BY THE DEALER. *TR

WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN THE ABS ENGAGED ON ONE SIDE. THE CAR JERKED AND LURCHED. MY CHILDREN & I WERE FORTUNATE WE DIDN'T CRASH. ONCE THE ABS RELEASED, THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGED AND THEN TRIPPED OUT. "SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM" MESSAGE WAS THEN DISPLAYED. THIS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY WHILE AWAITING THE LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE TIME WORK ON VAN, I WAS TOLD THEY WERE TOO BUSY TO LOOK AT IT EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS AN URGENT PROBLEM. WHEN THEY WORKED ON THE VAN THEY STATED THE YAW RATE SENSOR NEEDED REPLACING. ITEM WAS REPLACED AND VAN RETURNED ON 9/21/2010, COST APPROX. $500 ON 9/24/2010 SAME PROBLEM PRESENTED. *TR

THE VEHICLE STARTED TO FLASH STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE AND AT ANY GIVEN TIME, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE (ON IT'S OWN) WILL ENGAGE THE ABS AND SLAM ON BRAKES WHILE PULLING TO THE LEFT. AFTER THIS HAPPENS, IT FLASHES SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND IF WAS RAINING, WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR HEAD ON COLLISION. *TR

BUICK TERRAZA DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR FAULTY. DOOT SENSOR KEEPS CHIMING SENSING THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT'S NOT, YOU CAN'T MANUALLY SHUT IT SINCE THE SENSOR UNLOCKS IT AND THE DOOR OPENS. YOU HAVE TO FORCE IT SHUT AND DEAL WITH THE CHIMING- J=HOPEFULLY I CAN GET THE SENSOR DISCONNECTED. *TR

THE REAR DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE STARTING TRYING TO OPEN ON ITS OWN THE WEEK OF MARCH 15. THE SOONEST WE COULD GET AN APPOINTMENT AT THE MECHANICS WAS MARCH 19. WE TRANSPORT GRANDCHILDREN DAILY TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND OTHER ACTIVIITES AND THEY ARE ALWAYS IN CHILD SAFETY RESTRAINTS. IT IS A GOOD THING BECAUSE MARCH 18 AS WE WERE DRIVING TO DINNER WITH THE CHILDREN, THE DOOR COMPLETELY OPENED AS WE WERE TURNING A CORNER AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE PARTS HAD TO BE ORDERED. WE ARE NOT DRIVING THE VAN WITH THE CHILDREN AS WE WAIT FOR REPAIRS. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND GM DEALERS DO NOT SEEM TO BE TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY ASPECT. WE ARE!!

DURING RECENT PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE, OIL CHANGE, TIRE ROTATION, AND INSPECTION. TECHNICIAN REPORTED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR HUB BEARING WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE REAR STABILIZER BAR WAS IMPROPERLY INSTALLED. THE LINK WAS INSTALLED THROUGH THE SPRING AND WAS RESTING ON THE SPRING INSTEAD OF BEING WRAPPED AROUND THE SPRING. THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT, HAD NEVER BEEN WORKED ON, OTHER THAT PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AND MANUFACTURER RECALLS. WEAR TO BOTH THE SPRING AND THE STABILIZER LINK WERE NOTED. THIS IMPROPER INSTALLATION MUST HAVE HAPPENED AT THE FACTORY. *TR

MY 2005 BUICK TERRAZA HAD DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT COMING ON WARNING TO HAVE IT SERVICED. THE DEALER PUT IT ON HIS COMPUTER AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AFTER THEY REPLACED THE TRACTION CONTROL MODULE. THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WITHIN A WEEK. AFTER THE LIGHT CAME ON WITHIN A FEW MILES THE BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY SLAMMED ON SLOWING THE VAN CONSIDERABLY. IT HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 MORE TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICING. AFTER SEVERAL HOURS I WAS TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY THE ABS SYSTEM HAD FAILED AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE IT. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE BUT WANTED TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION IN CASE IT MIGHT HAPPENED TO SOMEONE ELSE. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING REAR DOOR ON MY 2005 BUICK TERRAZA BECOMES LOOSE AND OPENS WHILE DRIVING. THE DOOR IS LOCKED WHEN I START DRIVING, BUT THEN BECOMES UNLOCKED AND I RECEIVE A WARNING THAT THE PASSENGER DOOR IS UNLOCKED. IF I AM NOT ABLE TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY TO CLOSE THE DOOR IT WILL COME OPEN BECAUSE OF THE AIR LOAD OR THE G FORCES WHILE TURNING. THIS LOCATION HAPPENS TO BE WHERE WE HAVE ONE OF OUR CAR SEATS FOR OUR FOUR CHILDREN. *TR

THE SLIDING DOORS ON MY BUICK 2005 TERRAZA DO NOT WORK RIGHT AND HAVE CAME OPEN DURING DRIVING AT 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES TO FIX THE DOORS AND THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 TERRAZA WITH ABOUT 79,000 MILES ON DRY, SMOOTH CITY STREETS WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR STARTED BRAKING ON ONE SIDE AND, I BELIEVE, TRIED TO CONTROL THE STEERING. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES ON THREE DIFFERENT STREETS ON THE SAME TRIP ACROSS TOWN. EACH TIME WITH THE MESSAGE "STABILITY CONTROL ACTIVE" . I DRIVE THESE ROADS REGULARLY AND THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY WHEN AT THE FIRST OCCURRENCE AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STOPPED. THE SECOND TIME I WAS PROBABLY AROUND 40 MPH AND BECAUSE I WAS FIRMLY GRIPPING THE WHEEL WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VAN ONTO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED. BY THE THIRD TIME I WAS PROBABLY UNDER 20 MPH AND TERRIFIED. I WAS AGAIN ABLE TO GET THE CAR STOPPED SAFELY. I PARKED IT AND TURNED IT OFF. IT HAS DRIVEN FINE FOR ABOUT 150 MILES SINCE WITH NO RECURRENCE. THE DEALER HAS DRIVEN IT OVER 100 MILES WITH THEIR SPECIAL SENSOR ON AND FOUND NOTHING. THERE ARE NO CODES. THEY HAVE CHECKED THE CONNECTORS FOR TIGHTNESS AND CORROSION, AGAIN NOTHING SUSPICIOUS. THEY HAD TURNED THE ROTORS, PUT ON NEW BRAKE PADS, AND DONE OTHER MAINTENANCE WORK ABOUT 50 MILES BEFORE THE OCCURRENCE. THEY DO NOT FEEL THIS IS RELATED. THEY ARE NOW PLANNING TO REPLACE THE YAW SENSOR ALTHOUGH THEY DO NOT HAVE EVIDENCE THAT THIS IS THE PROBLEM. THEY DON'T KNOW IF THEY WILL EVER BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAD FRONT END DAMAGE. THE AIR BAG SENSOR AND LIGHT ARE ON INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED; HOWEVER, IT DID NOT. WE HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AS WELL WITH THE VAN. THE SLIDING DOOR CHIME COMES ON RANDOMLY WHEN I WE ARE DRIVING. WORK HAD TO BE DONE PREVIOUSLY ON THE WIRING. OCCASIONALLY I HEAR RATTLING NOISES FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WHEN I DRIVE. THE VAN ALSO SHAKES EXCESSIVELY WHEN APPROACHING SPEEDS OVER 45-50 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I PUT ON THE BRAKES. *TR

DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT UNLOCK, THEY JUST CLICK. WAS ABLE TO JIMMY FRONT DOORS BUT THEN THEY WOULD NOT LOCK. HAD BABY BEEN IN BACK SEATS THERE WAS NO WAY TO GET THEM OUT WITHOUT SOMEONE VERY SMALL CLIMBING OVER THE FRONT SEAT INTO THE FAR BACK, VERY DANGEROUS. ON STAR COULD NOT REMOTE OPEN VEHICLE EITHER. DROVE TO DEALERSHIP AND DISCOVERED THE REMOTE FOB THOUGHT IT WAS LOCKING THE CAR AND STARTED IT. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR CONSTANTLY WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING. IT WOULD ALSO NOT SHUT AND EMIT A WARNING BELL EVEN WHEN NOTHING WAS OBSTRUCTING THE DOOR. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST OVER $1000 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR AND THAT MIGHT NOT EVEN FIX IT. I FINALLY HAD THE DEALER DISCONNECT THE AUTOMATIC DOOR. SO WE NOW OPEN AND CLOSE IT MANUALLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE THE LOCK/UNLOCK WOULD OCCUR WHEN IN DRIVE AND DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

POWER SLIDING DOORS IN THE REAR FAIL TO CLOSE ON A REPEATED BASIS, OFTEN HAVING TO TRY AND CLOSE THEM 10 TO 12 TIMES. AFTER READING ABOUT THIS KNOWN ISSUE AND HOW OTHERS VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE DOOR(S) OPENING ON THEIR OWN WHILE DRIVING, I FELT I NEEDED TO REPORT MY MALFUNCTION WITH THE DOOR SENSORS. *TR

THIS IS THE WORST VEHICLE THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED! ALSO, THE FIRST NEW CAR I HAVE EVERY HAD AND I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!!! I HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN GM CARS AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY GM DOESN'T RECALL AND OF THE 2005 BUCK TERRAZA'S AND GIVE PEOPLE A REFUND OR A NEW CAR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 30 TIMES SINCE FEB. 2006-MAR 2008. PROBLEMS FROM TIRES, FRONT END PROBLEMS, DOORS, CD/DVD PLAYER, HEATED SEATS, ELECTRICAL, BRAKES, ROTORS, YOU NAME IT, IT'S BEEN DONE. NOW I AM HAVING A SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAD IN MARCH 2007 AND IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND BECAUSE I NO LONGER HAVE A WARRANTY I WILL END UP PAYING FOR IT! I DON'T THINK THIS IS RIGHT. I WISH I COULD JUST GIVE THE VAN BACK AND MAKE THEM GIVE ME SOMETHING ELSE. I HAVE HAD BUICK'S IN THE PAST AND HAVE NEVER! HAD PROBLEMS. I ACTUALLY BOUGHT A BUICK BECAUSE OF THE HIGHER STANDARD, NOW I WISH I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT SOMETHING ELSE. *TR

BOTH SETS OF KEYLESS ENTRY FAILED ON THE UNLOCK OPERATION. ONE SET WAS USED AND FAILED IN 2 YEARS, THE OTHER SET WAS THEN USED AND FAILED IN TWO YEARS. MUST HAVE SOMETHING WRONG IN THE MAKEUP OF THESE KEYLESS TRANSMITTER. EVERYTHING WORKS EXCEPT THE UNLOCK. REPLACEMENT QUOTED AT $345. *TR

THE TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITY, AND ABS WARNINGS RANDOMLY APPEAR AND CAUSE THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN AND THE DRIVER TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION TO APPROPRIATELY STEER THE CAR. *TR

PREMATURE TIRE WEAR @ 18,819 MILES. *TR

WE HAVE '05 BUICK TERAZZA VAN - TIRE WEAR HAS BEEN UNSATISFACTORY - CUPPING NOTICED AT 18,000 MILES AND ONGOING. DEALER RECOMMENDED ROTATING TIRES - DONE TO NO AVAIL. CUPPING CONTINUED AND BECAME WORSE. ACTUALLY CUTTING TIRE. DEALER REPORTED THAT IT WAS THE MANF. PROBLEM WITH VAN HAVING UNEVEN WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION ON FRONT END. I HAVE LOCATED 5 OTHER PEOPLE IN AREA WITH SAME PROBLEM. HAVE BEEN A GM CUSTOMER FOR 60+ YRS. NEVER HAD TO REPLACE TIRES AT 25,000 MILES. OTHERS ARE HAVING TO DO THE SAME. TIRE DEALER REPORTS FREQUENT REPLACEMENT ISSUE IS APPEARING WITH THIS MODEL VAN. IS THIS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT? TIRES WERE ROTATED APPROX. EVERY 10,000 MILES INITIALLY THEN AT 5000 AND THEN AT 1000 MI. THIS MUST BE DEFECT IF OTHERS ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEMS. WE HAVE A BUICK RENDEZVOUS - 04 - TIRES ARE ROTATED IN SAME FASHION - HAS 45,000+ MILES AND TIRES ARE SHOWING NOT WEAR. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU. *TR

ALL 4 TIRES ON MY 2 1/2 YR OLD BUICK TERAZZA ARE BAD. ONE TIRE IS SPLIT ON THE REAR AND ALL 4 ARE UNEVEN BULGING TREAD AND ACTUALLY THIS ALL STARTED TO HAPPEN LAST SUMMER WHEN CAR WAS ABOUT 26000 MILES. NOW WE HAVE 41K MILES AND THE CAR TIRES ARE SHAKING BADLY AND WAS TOLD TODAY THAT ONE TIRE COULD EXPLODE ANYTIME. THESE ARE GOODYEAR TIRES AND ARE THE ORIGINAL FROM THE DEALER AND GM. I AM APPALLED THAT ALL 4 ARE BAD THIS EARLY. THIS COULD RESULT IN A MAJOR BLOWOUT OR AN ACCIDENT. NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE THE BLAME. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED SO NEW A CAR. *TR

CONTINUED PROBLEMS WITH 2005 BUICK TERRAZA MINIVAN AUTOMATIC DOORS THAT OPEN ON THEIR OWN. CAR HAD PROBLEMS IN WARRANTY AND NOW AT 32000 AND OUT OF WARRANTY SINCE FEBRUARY, GM WILL AS A GRACIOUS GESTURE PAY FOR PARTS BUT NOT $500.00 LABOR. THEY CLAIM NO LIABILITY FOR THIS SAFETY FAILURE. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT SCORES OF OTHER CONSUMERS ARE HAVING WITH THIS CLASS OF MINIVAN FROM GM. *TR

EVERY TIME THE WHEELS ARE REMOVED FROM MY 2005 BUICK TERRAZA, THE ROTORS GO OUT OF ROUND, AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. I AM WONDERING IF ANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THIS COMPLAINT. WE HAVE HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED THREE TIMES IN LESS THAN THREE YEARS. THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED NOW. THAT MAKES IT FOUR TIMES IN LESS THAN THREE YEARS. IT IS DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE ROTORS OUT OF ROUND. THE MECHANICS BELIEVE IT IS BECAUSE THE TIRES ARE TORQUED TOO TIGHT. WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING? IT IS GETTING PRETTY EXPENSIVE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK TERRAZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY, WHICH CAUSES IT TO SPORADICALLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND A TECHNICIAN REPROGRAMMED THE DOOR. FIVE TO SIX MONTHS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REALIGNED THE DOOR. MONTHS LATER, THE DOOR FAILED AGAIN. SINCE THE FIRST FAILURE, HE HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SEVEN TIMES REGARDING THE DOOR FAILURE. ON EACH OCCASION, THE ENGINEERS HAVE FAILED TO SUCCESSFULLY REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 81,204.

2005 BUICK TERRAZA SERVICE ABS SYSTEM MESSAGE APPEARS RANDOMLY. ROAD CONDITIONS ARE GOOD. *TR

UPPER BUSHINGS ON BOTH REAR KNUCKLES ARE VERY LOOSE-2005 BUICK TERRAZA. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK TERRAZA. THE CONTACT TOOK HIS VEHICLE TO AN AUTO SERVICE CENTER FOR A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIE ROD ENDS WERE WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE TOOK HIS VEHICLE TO BUICK AND THE TIE RODS WERE REPLACED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 33,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,464. UPDATED 04/29/08 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE OF THE PLASTIC SEAL ON THE TIE ROD WAS THE PROBLEM.

SLIDING DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR OPENED WHILE I WAS FUELING THE CAR. MY WIFE PUSHED THE OPEN DOOR BUTTON. A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION DEVELOPED AS THE SLIDING DOOR SLID BACKWARDS TOWARD THE GASOLINE HOSE. I JAMMED THE DOOR WITH MY BODY AND ATTEMPTED TO PRESS THE DOOR BUTTON BUT THE DOOR KEPT TRYING TO SLIDE BACK. I SQUEEZED THE HANDLE AND YANKED THE HOSE OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILLER. I SPLASHED QUITE A BIT OF GAS ON THE SIDE OF THE CAR. THERE SHOULD BE SOME SAFETY SWITCH THAT WOULD PREVENT THE SLIDING DOOR FROM OPERATING WHEN THE GAS TANK DOOR IS OPEN. MY WIFE WAS DISORIENTED AT THE TIME BECAUSE OF A DIABETIC SUGAR LOW AND FELT SHE NEEDED AIR. I HAD VISIONS OF THE SLIDING DOOR STRIKING THE GAS HOSE AND STARTING A FIRE. THE DOOR HAS A SAFETY SWITCH THAT PREVENTS IT FROM CLOSING IF AN OBJECT IS IN THE WAY. BUT THERE IS NOTHING TO PREVENT THE DOOR FROM OPENING EVEN WHEN IT IS HELD OR STRIKES SOMETHING. *JB

SINCE OCTOBER 2006 I HAVE TAKEN THE '05 BUICK TERRAZA TO MOSSY PONTIAC BUICK GMC OF NEW ORLEANS FOR THE FOLLOWING ISSUES: DVD STATIC NOISE, UNUSUALLY LOUD, EXHAUST NOISE ON TAKE-OFF, BRAKES, ABS LIGHTS COME ON, ONSTAR, AND IGNITION/STARTER CONTINUES TO TURNOVER AFTER RELEASING THE STARTER KEY. AFTER 10-15 VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUES THEY SAY THAT THEY REPLACED THE MUFFLER AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND THAT ANY NOISE I HEAR IS INHERENT TO THE VEHICLE. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE DVD NOISE I HEARD WAS INHERENT TO THE VEHICLE UP UNTIL MY LAST VISIT ON APRIL 10, 2007 AT WHICH TIME I WAS INFORMED OF A BULLETIN THAT DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM I HAD BEEN HAVING SINCE OCTOBER 2006. EITHER WAY, THAT ISSUE WAS STILL NOT FIXED AFTER LEAVING MY VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 HOURS. ALSO, ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THE ABS LIGHT ISSUE AND THE IGNITION/STARTER ISSUE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THEREFORE , THEY ARE LIKELY INHERENT TO THE VEHICLE. *AK I PLACED A COMPLAINT WITH BUICK CUSTOMER CARE ON APRIL 10 AFTER NOT HAVING ANY RESOLUTION TO MY PROBLEMS, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO OTHER THAN OFFER ME A $1000 REBATE FOR BUYER LOYALTY TOWARDS A NEW GM VEHICLE. MY CAR CURRENT HAS 38,600 MILES, BUT I PURCHASED IT WITH 23K (CERTIFIED WHICH SUPPOSELY EXENDED THE WARRANTY TO 39K) AND HAVE BEEN TAKING IT TO THE DEALSHIP FOR ISSUES SINCE THE DAY OF PURCHASE. ANY HELP THAT YOU ALL CAN GIVE ME TO HELP RESOLVE THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPREC

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK TERRAZA. ON THREE OCCASIONS THE KEY FOB IN THE CONTACTS POCKET PRESSED AGAINST SOMETHING AND UNLOCKED ALL OF THE DOORS, INCLUDING THE SLIDING DOOR. THE SLIDING DOOR REMAINS OPEN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE KEY FOB WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 4,268, AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,258.*AK UPDATE 05/04/07*TR

HARNESS DAMAGE CAUSING REPEATED STABILITY CONTROL FAILURE. FAILURE CAUSES THE FRONT BRAKES TO ACTIVATE WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AT ANY TIME. TAKEN IN 4 TIMES FOR REPAIR BETWEEN 4/21/06 TO 1/13/07. HARNESS REPAIRED AT LEAST TWICE ALONG WITH OTHER COMPONENT REPLACEMENT. *NM

I HAVE A 2005 BUICK TERRAZA WITH 20,000 MILES ON IT. RECENTLY WHEN THE TEMP HAS GOT COLD (30 DEGREES) THE SERVICE STABILITY AND THE SERVICE TRACTION LIGHTS HAVE CAME ON. AFTER I DRIVE THE VAN, THE NEXT TIME I START THE VAN THE LIGHTS ARE USUALLY GONE BUT THEN WHEN I HAVE BEEN DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A DRY ROAD AT ABOUT 45 MPH OR SO AND HIT A BUMP THE VAN WOULD PULL, DECELERATE AND SWERVE FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THE SERVICE STABILITY LIGHT WOULD COME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND 5 CODES BUT THEY SAY THEY CAN'T HELP THEM FIGURE WHAT IS WRONG AND ALL THEY CAN DO IS DRIVE MY VAN AROUND UNTIL IT DOES IT AGAIN AND HOPE THEY GET A CODE THAT WILL HELP THEM. THE CODES WERE C0253/C0870/C0460/C0196/C0187. I FOUND OTHER PEOPLE ON LINE WHO HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES AND PRINTED SUGGESTIONS FOR THE DEALER TO CHECK(STEERING WHEEL SENSOR AND FRAYED WIRES). THE DEALER THEN FOUND A GREEN AND BLUE WIRE FROM THE FORWARD ENGINE HARNESS ROUTED FROM THE EBCM UNDERNEATH THE INLET AIR BOX WERE COMPLETELY RUBBED THROUGH. THEY RUBBED AGAINST THE TRANSMISSION BOLT. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. I GUESS YOU GOT TO GIVE SOME DEALERS HELP FINDING THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR VEHICLE. THIS IS COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE TYPE OF GM VANS AND IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS DEPENDING ON WHAT WIRES ARE FRAYED AND WHEN THEY MALFUNCTION THE STABLE TRAK SYSTEM COULD THROW THE VAN OUT OF CONTROL WHICH COULD LEAD TO A DEADLY ACCIDENT. *JB

TL* - THE CONTACT COMPLAINED ABOUT A VARIETY OF VEHICLE PROBLEMS. FAILURES. THE HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM DID NOT CONSISTENTLY PROVIDE HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 7 TIMES FOR THE HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM FAILURE. HOWEVER, SHE STATED THAT SHE HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH SYSTEM WORKING ON AT LEAST 15 OCCASIONS. THE LAST TIME THAT THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR HEATING AND COOLING FAILURE WAS DECEMBER 27, 2006. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EACH TIME SHE HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR IT WAS REPROGRAMMED. THE REPAIR WORKED FOR A WHILE AND THEN BEGAN FAILING AGAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRANK SEAL WAS LEAKING AND REPLACED 01/02/07. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SWAY BARS FOR THE STABILIZERS WERE REPLACED 07/2006. ALL 4 BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND THEY WERE REPAIRED, BUT NOT REPLACED 07/2006. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 20,000 MILES BECAUSE THEY WERE ALL CUPPED, AND SHE HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR OF THEM 10/16/2006. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BACKUP ASSIST DIDN'T WORK FOR 3 OR 4 WEEKS. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE IS A CONSTANT DINGING NOISE SUCH AS WHEN YOU HAVE LEFT A CAR DOOR OPEN, HOWEVER, A CAR DOOR IS NOT OPEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IF SHE TURNS THE CAR OFF AND LETS IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES THE DINGING STOPS, BUT IF SHE DOESN'T TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAITS IT KEEPS DINGING. THE CONTACT STATED THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES TO DATE. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN 0-60 MPH. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SALES/SERVICE DEALER, THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE RECREATED. THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THE LIGHTS FAILED TO REMAIN BRIGHT ENOUGH TO SEE WELL AT NIGHT. THE COMPUTER PROGRAMMING WAS REFLASHED. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE STARTER, SLIDING DOOR OPENING BY ITSELF WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OR WHILE IDLING IN PARK. ON ONE OCCASION, THE CHILD PASSENGER FELL OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE DOOR OPENED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHICH RESULTED IN THE CONTACT SIDE SWIPING A MAILBOX POST ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AT A LATER DATE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THERE WERE NO REPORTS TAKEN BY THE POLICE OR FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE SERVICE DEALER TOWED THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP.

WHERE TO START! THE HORN IS VERY HARD TO WORK, THE POWER SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR OPENS RANDOMLY AND HAS BEEN WORKED ON COUNTLESS TIMES, THERE ARE VIBRATIONS IN THE FLOOR, THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN WORKED ON COUNTLESS TIMES: FRONT ROTORS TURNED TWICE AND REPLACED ONCE, REAR BRAKES TURNED TWICE. INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS RANDOMLY AND CONSTANTLY DIM AND BRIGHTEN. TIE RODS REPLACED AND ALL THIS WITH ONLY 20000 ON IT! I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALL PROBLEMS AND I GUESS THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS WITH BUICK! *JB

AT APPROX. 15,000 MILES THE BRAKES SQUEAL OR CHIRP ALMOST EVERY TIME THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS HAS LEFT EMBARRASSMENT AS WELL AS WORRY AS TO WEATHER THE BRAKES ARE GOING TO GIVE OUT. ALSO HAVE NOTICED A SLIGHT FADE AND INCREASED BRAKING DISTANCE OR HAVING TO PUSH HARDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED TWICE, STOP SQUEAL WAS APPLIED TO THE PADS AS WELL AS SANDING THE EDGES OF THE PADS AND NOTHING HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. *NM

CONSTANT VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. PULLING AND SEVERE VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING FROM SPEEDS OVER 25 MPH. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO FIX. *NM

FOR THE SECOND TIME, MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND MY "SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM" LIGHT APPEARED. LUCKILY, THIS TIME I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND NOT DRIVING AND WAS ABLE TO HAVE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, UNLIKE THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED. UPON EXAMINATION AT THE DEALER, FOUND TO HAVE A "MISSING" TRACTION CONTROL FUSE, WHICH WAS REPLACED, AND REGARDING THE "SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM" ALERT - FOUND THE YAW RATE SENSOR HAD AN INTERNAL FAILURE, WHICH WAS REPLACED. HOW MANY TIMES DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE BUICK WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND REALIZE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE? BUICK TELLS ME TO TALK TO THE DEALER; THE DEALER REFERS ME TO BUICK. APPARENTLY NO ONE CARES THAT I AM DRIVING AROUND IN A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE, UNLESS AN ACCIDENT AND PERSONAL INJURY OR WORSE OCCURS. THIS TIME I HAD A FRIEND AND HER SON IN MY VEHICLE. I HATE TO EVEN THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN MOVING WHEN THIS LATEST FAILURE OCCURRED. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS HORRIFIC ENOUGH, AND I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS FIXED, OBVIOUSLY IT WASN'T. THE ONLY THING I WOULD LIKE FROM BUICK AND THE DEALER IS MY MONEY BACK SO THAT I CAN PURCHASE A SAFE VEHICLE. FOR NOW, THIS WILL SIT IN MY DRIVEWAY, AS THERE IS NO WAY THAT I WILL EVER GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. NEVER AGAIN WILL I PUT MY CHILD, MY FRIENDS OR MYSELF AT RISK. IS SAFETY TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR IN A $30,000.00 VEHICLE? I HAVE HAD 14 REPAIRS MADE TO THIS VAN IN 18 MONTHS, WITH ONLY 13,000 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT THIS

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKES ACTIVATED AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THIS OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS, BUT THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE A PROBLEM.

NOTICED A GRINDING OR RUBBING NOISE IN THE REAR OF MY 2005 BUICK TERRAZA CXL. HAVE NOTICED TWICE THAT THE MESSAGE DISPLAY INDICATES SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND THE COMPUTER HAS NOT REGISTERED ANY INCIDENCE. WHAT, IF ANYTHING, CAN OR SHOULD BE DONE TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION? *JB

FOR THE SECOND TIME THE STABILITY TRACTION MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING MY TERRAZA. THE BRAKES SLAMMED ON BY THEMSELVES AND THE STEERING WENT OUT. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR. AFTER THE FIRST MALFUNCTION, BUICK WOULD NOT LET ME TERMINATE MY LEASE AND GUARANTEED ME THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. RELUCTANTLY, I AGREED TO KEEP THE CAR. GUESS WHAT, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I REFUSE TO EVER LET MY DAUGHTER OR I TO BE IN THE CAR AGAIN. EVEN THOUGH I PLEADED WITH BUICK'S CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT I AGREED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AFTER THE FIRST MALFUNCTION, ALTHOUGH VERY FEARFUL, WITH THEIR GUARANTEE IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN, IT DID. THEY WILL NOT TERMINATE MY LEASE THEY TOLD ME I WAS STILL OBLIGATED TO PAY FOR THE LEASE UNTIL THE TERM WAS UP AND IF I WAS TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT, THAT WAS MY PROBLEM. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE FROM THEM TO RECALL? *JB

VIBRATION AT 50+ MPH. PULSATING, VIBRATING WHEN BRAKING. UNEVEN WEAR ON TIRES (FEATHERING) NOTICED AT 3,000 MILES. HORN TAKES A LOT OF PRESSURE TO MAKE IT WORK. 2 METRO BUICK DEALERS SAY ALL ABOVE IS NORMAL AND CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ONE DEALER PRINTED 2 SERVICE BULLETINS TO SHOW ME GM SAYS IT IS NORMAL. HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS DIM AND BRIGHTEN ON THEIR OWN. HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ONCOMING CARS BLINK THEIR HIGH BEAMS AT ME THINKING MY HIGH BEAMS ARE ON. I WAS DENIED IN MY REQUEST FOR A BUICK OFFICIAL TO GET INVOLVED. VAN IS NOW 9 MONTHS OLD AND ONLY 8,000 MILES BECAUSE IT IS UNBEARABLE TO DRIVE WITH ALL THAT SHAKING. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKES ENGAGED THREE TIMES WHILE GOING 60 MPH. EACH TIME, THIS HAPPENED THE ASC (AUTOMATIC STABILITY CONTROL) LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE'S ABS ENGAGED ONLY AT SLOW SPEEDS. TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A NEW COMPUTER IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE PROBLEM RECURRED, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE SENSOR WILL BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE TYPE OF SENSOR. UPDATED 7/5/2006 - *NM

VIBRATION IN CAR AT SPEEDS OF 45-TO-70--STEERING WHEEL VAN HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALER 6 TIMES, HAS ONLY 5900 MILES DEALER HAS REPLACED 2 TIRES, FORCED BALANCED ALL FOUR TIRES SEVERAL TIMES. THE TOW HAS BEEN SET AT ZERO AND ALIGNED 2 TIMES. JUST RECENTLY, THEY PUT 4 NEW MICHELIN TIRES ON VAN AT 5700 MILES, PROBLEM IS STILL THERE, AND IT STILLS GOES TO RIGHT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD AGAIN BY GM, THIS IS JUST THE WAY THE VAN IS AND THEY CAN NOT FIND A FIX, THEY OFFERED A 10 YEAR 100000 EXTENDED WARRANTY ON TOP OF THE 3 YEAR 36 MILE FACTORY WARRANTY. I TOLD THEM WOULD YOU DRIVE THIS VAN LIKE THIS FOREVER, THE PERSON AT GM SAID NO. SO I TOLD HER THAT IS MY ANSWER TO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. ALSO, THEY HAVE TAKEN A 2006 ON THEIR LOT FOR A RIDE, AND IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE. I HAVE ALSO CALLED OTHER BUICK SERVICE DEPTS. AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT GM HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND STILL HAS NO FIX. MY WIFE AND YOUNG FAMILY NO LONGER FEELS SAFE IN THIS 2005 BUICK TERRAZA CXL. *NM

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT FROM A FIELD TRIP WITH MY DAUGHTER AND HER GIRL SCOUT BROWNIE TROOP, THE STABILITY TRACK SYSTEM WENT ON IN ERROR AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. IT WENT FROM 40 MPH TO 5 MPH WITHIN A SECOND. THE STEERING WOULD NOT WORK, EITHER. VERY, VERY SCARY! I CONTACTED ONSTAR IN THE CAR AND THEY COULD NOT SEE A PROBLEM, BUT SENT A TOW TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A SHORT-WIRE AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. BUT COULD IT HAPPEN AGAIN? ALSO, MY AUTOMATIC DOORS NEVER WORK PROPERLY. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR FAMILY TRIPS AND FIELD TRIPS, BUT NOW I'M TOO SCARED TO TAKE IT ON TRIPS OR FIELD TRIPS THINKING THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN ON THE EXPRESS WAY LIKE IT DID TO OTHER TERAZZA OWNERS. WE LEASED IT SO I CAN'T GET RID OF IT. INSTEAD I MAKE A HUGE PAYMENT EVERY MONTH ON A LEMON. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR LOCKED BY ITSELF AND WOULD NOT OPEN BY THE KEY OR POWER CONTROLS. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY A DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE POWER DOOR LOCK MOTOR. ALTHOUGH THE DOOR LOCK PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED, THE DOOR RATTLED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AWAITING FURTHER INSPECTION BY THE DEALER. *AK UPDATED 5/10/2006 - THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACK WHILE ON HILLS. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE HORN WILL NOT SOUND WITHOUT APPLYING A LOT OF PRESSURE. UPON RECOMMENDATION OF GM, THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A REDESIGNED KIT TO TRY AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE KIT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

2005 BUICK TERRAZA LEFT SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN EITHER ELECTRONICALLY OR MANUALLY. DOOR LATER OPENED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. *TS THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY DID UPDATE THE SLIDING DOOR MODULE PER SERVICE BULLETIN 05-08-64-013 BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *NM
