| I first noticed the problem with the speedomoter a couple of years ago, in 2009. the weather was cold, and i attributed it's disfunction to the cold. then the other guages started to show malfunction. when it got to the point that none of the guages were correct, i went to two gm dealers and received no concern from either of them. they did not even acknowledge that they knew of a problem. i had to pay $400 to replace the dash cluster. about this time i received a letter from chevrolet regarding the relay resistor or wiring connector on my silverado, saying they could overheat and the hvac blower might not function. i was given 10 years from date of purchase or 150,000 miles, whichever occurred first, to have this corrected if necessary. i called gm and asked why they would extend the warranty on the truck but would not even acknowledge the problem with the buick. again, no concern was shown. the person i spoke to was in the philippines! why would she care? we're askedto buy american, but we have to talk to someone in the philippines when there's a problem! also, i've had nothing but problems with the lights, all of them, inside and out. couldn't tell you how many i've had to change! at the present time, we have no radio and heater lights. goodbye gm, hello honda! | |||

| I went to good year 3594 rt 31 baldwinsville,ny today around 4:00pm for a oil change they moved the milage from 44,000 to 71,000 and messed with the speed thing that tells you how fast your going.when you take your car some where for what you need done you dont expect them to act like kids and play with things like that.if any thing else goes wrong i will believe it was them and expect them to pay for what ever needs to be fixed i had the car for few months now never had a problem.they where in the garge laughing and saying do you think he will find out what we did if this cost money to fix it will be paid by them and i want my oil change money back and i want those guys in the garge to be drug tested.the manager that day was joseph d and tech was patrick w.theres also the sticker for the next oil change to proof what they did.thier phone number 315-652-6673.thank you | |||

| I bought this car may 2010 from gregory automotive group in new castle de. i immediately had a propblem with the speedometer the day i bought it, took it back to the dealership and was told that it wasnt a big deal, this problem was covered by by warranty and i would just need to pay a $100.00 deductible. i took it to my local buick dealership and they told me that it isn't covered under the warranty i bought from the dealer and i would have to pay out of pocket for the repairs. my next issue is the gas gauge started to mess up; wrong readings and gas levels left me out of gas and very upset. i will be taking this back to buick to see if i am at all eligible to recieve recall benefits or something because the amount to fix these issues are greater than i can afford within the year and some change of owning the veh. and i also want to say i did research and do a carfax on the car and it came back with accurate mileage, one owner and no accidents and i jumped on it, only to have a nice car without a working speedometer and gas gauge. i thought buicks were good solid cars...... | |||
