| I purchased a buick lacrosse in may 2010. i began having issues with the vehicle june 27, 2011. i've had multiple machanical issues with the car. the electric heater in the seats have gone out 3 times and been repaired and is now not working again. the last repair on the heater in the driver seat was january 2012. on august 1, 2011 the car was towed to the dealership due to the battery leaking acid all over the wires and several other parts. the was kept for almost 10 days. the visor for the moon roof started malfunctioning and had to be repaired. the engine had a knocking sound and i was told that's how he care sounds. the door handle had to be replaced, the car has had ongoing electrical issues and gm has not worked openly and honestly with me. gm has repeatedly told me the care is not eligible to be bout back but will not give a explanation why. i repeatedly requested to speak with a supervisor and was denied opportunity by a gm rep name donald for several weeks. i have repeatedly asked for something in writing and gm refuses to put anything in writing. when i explained that i wanted them to buy the care back due to the ongoing electrical issues and not to just extend the warranty i was told by the gm rep that i was trying to play a all or nothing game and may end up walking away with nothing. after that comment i felt bullied into excepting a offer of two car payments and a extention of the warranty to 45,000 additional miles. i later withdrew my acceptance of the offer due to the seats malfunctioning again and feeling as though i was forced to take the offer with the gm rep denying me athe ability to speak with a supervisor for weeks and making the statement that he made during a conference on 2/24/12. this is the second gm vehcile that i bought in the past 4 yrs that had electrical issues. my 07 saturn aura had electrical issues lost $9000. | |||

| The battery goes dead. when it was taken to the dealer, we were told that we did not drive enough. the second incident occurred in 12/2010. this time there were 21 low voltage hits when the dealership was troubleshooting. i also submitted a complaint to gm. it appears that their solution is to place a trickle charge on the battery to ensure the battery is at full capacity. i am in the process of purchasing a solar powered battery charge at this time. in order for my wife to drive this vehicle, she will always have to deal with the charger. to have this problem on a state of the art automobile is extremely frustrating. | |||

| I was driving the 2010 buick lacrosse in rush hour on a very busy street in our town and while stopped an electrical malfunction occured where all of the dash board lights and warning lights started flashing and the car would not move. i put it in park and then it would not come out of park and went into anti theft lock down. i made several attempts to turn off the car and restart it to try and reset of clear the issue and it remained locked down and not able to move. it was very strange how the key in the ignition was vibrating and buzzing at a high frequency and they would stop. after a few minutes the engine shut down. now stuck in the middle of the busy road and cars nearly rear ending me and honking at me i thought i would be hit. my son was in the car and i had to wait for the light change to let him flee to safety. worse yes the saftey flashers would not work and the trunk would not open to signal a stalled car. i called on star and they were not helpful as i indicated it was an emergency and they sent a tow truck that arrived an hour later. the police showed up 20 minutes later to protect me and the car from accident. the police called a tow truck that arrived in 15 minutes. the car was towed to the dealer and they are being generally non responsive. i had this problem a few weeks before not in traffic and took into the dealer and they said there did not find an error code. this is a complete random failure and represents a serious safety issue. | |||

| (01) your advertising agency gave your radio adv account to an idiot. (02) this idiot discusses generations, and cites some named by william strauss & neil howe in their book generations. clearly their reading was during a quick lunch. (03) s&h cite as follows: in the great power cycle and followed by the millenial cycle; both comprising a time segment from 1860 to 2003 and ??? (04) the list is as follows.: missionary lost g.i. silent boom thirteenth millennial. ----------------------------------------------- academically your child seat psa is a joke! however, the advice is valid. your citations would earn you a demand rewrite if you expected to pass my class. i know you paid big $$$$$$ for the creation of this psa. you as an agency were overcgarged, disrespected and some of the citations come from common parlance. consistency of parallell structure are essential! ! frankly among the literati, your psa is a joke and in advertising it is used as an example of inept supervision, bad management, incompetent advertising and the waste of the people's money. i pay taxes for this? informations regarding a specific motor vehicle and other informations are filled in simpl to complete this form. they have no relevance to the complaint | |||
