In august of 2011 i purchased what was supposed to be a certified pre-owned buick superior buick. i had numerous problems that i tried to get fixed under warranty(suspension, thermostat, air bags, steering etc.) or good faith (only brakes) just to name a few, and tried to get a refund under my warranty or different car within the first 72 hours/150 miles of resigning my contract and was denied. i made numerous trips to the dealership to get these problems serviced and was told every time that nothing was wrong, they found debris here a screw there, tightened this, blamed it on this etc. they never fixed or replaced anything but a water pump and a couple of electrical bulbs (the same ones). after at least 5 attempts to get it fixed( per laws set forth) i had a couple of face-to- face meetings with the g.m./part owner louis faller. during these meetings, he tells me everything from you got a lemon, that he believed the car was wrecked prior, to that he fired a couple of employees for putting bad cars on his lot and not fixing them properly under warranty, amongst other things. so after no luck with a refund i began to get opinions which uncovered everything from prior damage to several things wrong with the suspension in late 2012 etc. so in late 2013, after all the things progressed to really bad and i got my x-mas bonus i began fixing it and reached out to hendrick corporate. they lied to me and said they would give me at least the money for fixing what i already fixed and that i had to get rest from dealership. they later took it back cause i wasn't signing over no rights because i still had several thousand in damages. so i reached out g.m. customer service and executive branches. they were like automated puppets. please refer to attachments. the right front bearing, was replaced. there was an issue with the anti-lock brakes the right front strut shield was sticking and making a clicking sound, the tires were cupping, creating a rumbling sound, tie rods needed to be replaced, the pressure line from the powe

While driving at 55 m.p.h. going downhill at a 6% grade vehicle's front end and steering column started vibrating violently. pulled over and let car sit for 30-45 minutes, then traveled on. took car to buick dealer and found rotors severely warped. rotors were turned(machined) and car brakes were ok for next 2-3000 miles. driving at 55m.p.h. noticed pulsation/vibration when applying brakes. took car to local dealer and they did not seem it was anything to worry about. drove car at 55 m.p.h. on highway and vibration and pulsation became worse. took car to a national retailer and had to have rotors replaced with heat dissipating rotors. car should have had these type rotors to begin with due to size and weight. this problem could cause a fire or the inability to stop when needed, causing possible serious accidents. *kb

There is a clunking of the driverside front brakes followed with a scraping sound in the engine compartment accompanied with a hesitation in maintaining driving speed. the car will then show a warning to service the stabilitrack system. when this occurs brakes feel like there is something loose that is between brake pad and disc. dealership said it needed to reprogram the module. they did but problem persists. now module needs replacing. the vehicle is a hazard should brakes fail or lock up. *tr
