Ok, so the problems with this car started at 2000 miles (you can see a previous post on this forum from me which details the nightmare of owning this horrible piece of crap). In September of last year at 52000 (a few hundred miles out of warranty) the check engine light came on and the car wouldn't start - again detailed in a previous post. The dealership had it for over two weeks. They first said the batter had a bad cell. They put in a new battery. That didn't fix the problem so they put in a new starter and ignition switch.

Here we are just a month shy of ONE YEAR later and THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING! My car wouldn't start but the radio and everything else works fine. Car clicks but will not turn over. Bad starter AGAIN? I think there is an ELECTRICAL ISSUE AT THE CORE of this car that is the cause of this problem, but Buick will just tell you that it's perfectly normal for a car to be this HORRIBLE, so I guess I'll just have to replace everything EVERY SINGLE YEAR that I have this car.
