Entire dash cluster has gone out. screen completely black. including after update in june 2019. car was in motion, happens at various speeds. almost cause an accident. dealer unable to source issue after 3 visits to date in 2019. gm technicians unable to solve issue. gm and dealer does not believe this to be safety is and keeps allowing car to be returned to service.
Rear tailgate requires manual operation to open, close, and lock. the vehicle is equipped with automatic lift gate controls on the driver door and also by swiping foot under rear bumper. i have documented four times in the past month that the tailgate will not operate properly. each time however that i bring the vehicle to the dealership, the tailgate works properly. the mechanic said it is probably the actuator, but until i can bring it to them when it's not working there is nothing they can do. there was one instance were the tailgate wouldn't lock even when manually operated. i had to drive the vehicle with the tailgate unlocked and opening when i slowed down. the dealer sales personnel did a temporary adjustment by turning the vehicle on and off and adjusting the selection knob on the driver door. your help here is appreciated. the dealership is being very helpful, but can only fix something when they verify that the item needs repair.
Auto stop function would not restart in traffic - stopped at signal light; had to push vehicle into a parking lot. wouldn't restart for over 20 minutes. two additional electrical issues (we believe are releated) previously that have not been fixed.
Computer screen display frequently goes very dim and sometimes completely out several times there has been no display showing when we were backing up plus the warning beeper didn't come on. we have had 2 minor accidents when we were backing up because of the failure of the computer screen and warning beeper. i have complained to our dealership holm automotive in abilene , ks for at least 2 years and they do not seem to think it is a problem. i have many photos and videos plus a handwritten log of this issue. i have also been in contact with buick.
Instrument cluster lights go out while driving ( #pic6333c ). as me are driving the instrument planal go blank for a few seconds to a minute, it is a driving hasard and can couse and acsident. i built an alarm syste for you ( 1980's ) that had a like problem, it turn out to be the clock rewind motor spiking the computer & re-booting the computer it need a fix now
When vehicle does automatic software updates from gm, it "blows up" the personalization menu. i am in physical therapy now from car seat that automatically went to position 1 when i opened car door. easy exit had been turned on by update. i had it turned off because it never worked right with memory seats. now after another update and menu was skewed again. easy exit turned back on as well as seat heaters on start up. both had been turned off in menu.
Car has electronic child safety door locks activated when using the hard button that typically locks only windows. wife took a nap in back seat on lunch break at work, didn't realize window lock button was accidentally engaged, locked with remote from back seat while car was running. door remote would not allow the back doors and passenger door to remain locked and door handles would not open from inside even when using the remote. she was trapped in the back. with a very bad back and knee it was not easy to climb to front driver side door to unlock from there, the only place this would work. if locking with the remote, unlocking with remote should be possible and was not. literally trapped in back seat and only way out is to get to the front seat to unlock from there. what if grandma was back there when something happened like car shut off? very bad situation and a life safety issue. i've never owned a car that had electronic child locks tied to window lock switch. should not be allowed to be trapped in car. *tr
Tire pressure monitoring system, or 'tpms' notified me of a flat tire. it showed loss of tire pressure in the rear passenger rire, however, the driver rear tire was the one that was flat.
The infotainment center goes blank and at times cant shut the radio off. restarted car, opening doors and pressing buttons doesn't shut radio off. car is at dealer for 7th time. shown dealer videos and they have been unable to figure out source.
Takata recall if the car is already running, it will allow you to switch out of park and into gear without the key fob inside the car.
