| Been having a clunk/bump type sound in the steering when the car is sitting still or at low speed, had a local dealer look at it a year ago and they found nothing, in addition too we are finding drops of oil in our driveway. we have had several people look at it, with no luck at finding the leak. recently the whole front end has been shaking, with several folks checking, including the local dealer who yesterday told me they no longer work on gm products. i looked online and found that the 2006 models had the same problems, so i talked to the a dealer and he said there is nothing they could do since there were no service bulletins or recalls for these problems for 2007. then i found your site and found there were several other people who have had the same problem. i told buick this and they said there was nothing they could do that is was only the 2006 models with this problem. i told them there was way to much of a coincident that all these people are having the same problem for it to only be the year before. we are smelling burning oil and driveway full of oil just waiting to get into the local lake, not to mention the recall said it could cause a fire. check service bulletin # 273064 action # 10032192 report date mar 01, 2012 recall # 06v105000 service bulletin # 06v105000 (our vehicle is a v8) from your site: nhtsa # 10022433 & 10032192 & 1020815 odi # 101483409 & 10460626. *tr | |||

| Off and on scraping noise in steering column when turning right or left. usually occurs in cold weather and disappears after driving a short distance. the car often pulls hard to the right making it hard to keep on the road. i have to keep alert so it does not cause an accident. the dash lights have a mind of their own sometimes they work and most of the time they don't. i have had the car in for repair several times for both issues but was told they can not do anything as it doesn't make a noise in the steering when i bring it in. also the dash lights have always come back on after i drive the 35 miles to the dealer where i bought the car. i have a gm 1-year or 12,000 mile warranty on this car it will soon expire. *tr | |||
