I own a 2015 buick verano convenience with only 28,000 miles. about a month ago i noticed the right side detection indicator on the mirror acting sporadic. coming on when there was no vehicle in my blind spot, and not coming on as it should. after noticing that, the service side detection message displayed on the center counsel. i contacted the dealer i bought the car from and they basically told me it's a very common problem because of the placement of the sensor modules in the bumper that collect water, snow, salt and causes corrosion. a very poor design for a safety feature! approximately $1,000 to fix! i did purchase an after market warranty with the vehicle, but i believe it will not cover this because they have a clause about corrosion. i decided to just turn off the feature from the setting panel and just call it a day, seeing i have been driving for 50 years and never had to rely on a side detection system to view my blind spot. now i get two messages when i start the car'side detection system is off, and service side detection system. well anyway, yesterday while i was driving, the indicator light on the right-side mirror came on, but the system was off. the light still stayed on even with the car shut off. after a while of driving and turning on and off the system from the settings, the light finally went off. why would that light come on when i manually turned off the system? do i need to pull the fuse for the side detection system? i am just afraid that this is going to create other issues with the vehicles electrical system and become a safety problem. there was a special program gm initiated in april of 2019 to fix this problem, but only for the chevy cruze. the buick verano and chevy cruze are basically the same car. is there anyway the buick verano can be added to this gm program? bulletin #n172097060 thank you!
Gear shift release switch cover broken causes car to 1)not go into park mode 2)goes into physical park mode but ignition switch is locked and does not release key please compare to recall number 16v50200 or buick recall numbers 50490 and 50491 for 2013 - 2014 and 2016 - 2017 buick veranos, why was my model year vehicle skipped?
Car failed to start with remote key. when tried to start with the key the cd ejected, and it wouldn't start. i used a battery pack to jump start the car. i then had a error message displayed saying "service theft deterrent system"
I purchased my buick verano on 12/29/2017. during the first while driving my eletrical system just shut down about 2-3 times. in the second year it started happening more often while making a turn or just going aroun another vehicle. from july to august the electrical system shut down about 5 times in about a 5 week span which made it very hard to steer the vehicle and all of the radio screen shut down also. this issue has me worried because at high speeds if this happens it will be very hard to control the vehicle. i have noticed that this is a common problem with this vehicle. has the car dealers acknowledge this issue and what do they recommend to do?
The lights on the dashboard work, and nearly every service light and message pops up. none of the gauges on the dashboard work including the speedometer and gas meter. the turn signal works but doesn't show it inside the car. the radio has to be turned on manually when getting in and out of the car. the radio will randomly shut off when driving. i've been sent away from dealerships before with no answer claiming that all modules are giving a reading so they do not know what the problem is. my cruise control has shut itself off a couple of times while driving. this car is a 2015 and is far to new to be dealing with a safety hazard like this.
Side view mirror warning system stopped working.
The left side blind side alert failed.when driving home the light on the passenger side mirror stayed on.when i got home it was on.the next day it was off and no longer worked.
Blind side alert failed.water sand and dirt gets inside.
Certain systems of my car while i am driving will shut down. for example i will be taking a turn and the power steering will go out. other things that seem to shut down either at the same time or separately are the radio/ screen, the cruise control, blinker, ect. this has been an issue especially when i am turning and the power steering goes out. i looked online to see what may be the problem and noticed plenty of other people have had these issues as well with no one being able to find a solution.
