There is a known issue with this model as well as other 2.4 litre GM engines where the PCV valve may become clogged and if it is not fixed it can cause the rear oil seal to be damaged, hence rendering the engine useless. There is a special coverage bulletin that cover this vehicle and others under certain VIN numbers. However my vehicle had the same issue and is over $1`,000 to diagnose and fix. After talking to Buick, even though I am within coverage dates and well below the mileage, my vehicle does not qualify for repair and I must pay for it out of pocket, despite it being a known issue in other vehicles. This should be moved from a special coverage to a recall for any affected vehicles under the 10 year, 120,000 mile threshold.

Constantly been having engine problems. Engine light coming on and off. I was driving it down a highway, coming to a stop due to a red light when the whole front of my car begin to sputter and gave out. It read "stabiltrak" but when taken to the shop it only read a code for the carbon filter. Which, was changed and did fixed the problem for the time being. However, its doing the same thing again.. which is very dissapointing because its a very well kept up with car, never goes without its necessities.. and at this point I'm thinking it could be my braking system due to this problem weakening my brakes but I don't see why because those were changed about 6 months ago. Maybe, even an electrical problem with my traction control.

It its very dangerous and something major is wrong.

When the car had mileage in the mid-upper 30,000 in 2018, we noticed that as the speed coasted down to 30mph, there was a hard downshift. So hard, you thought the engine fell out of the car. At the time we had not realized it only did this when the engine was cold. So, when we took it to the dealer, they could not replicate the issue. In 12/2019, we left it overnite and they "did" replicate the issue the next morning. This is stated on our service bill. They suggested a deep atm flush, even though we had a normal flush 18 months earlier with them. We paid them to do it and the problem persists. Since we slow down every time we approach a stop sign or stoplight, this occurs as we get down to 30mph. Exactly at 30mph!!! once the engine is warm it, we do not notice the issue. But we live in northern Ohio & the nites are cold Oct-April. We drove the car to warm miami fl in 1/2020. It still did it, but only a mild downshift then quickly did not repeat as the temp was warmer there. To reduce the hardness of the downshift, we have reverted to trying to let the car warm up after starting it and applying the brakes as we slow down to 30mph! it is sad that this has to be done, as we have been taking great care of the car & it only has 48,000 miles. And we are not moving to fl!!! we bought the car new from this dealer.

In 2018 the air went out in the vehicle and then the ABS light cane on. A few days later the check engine light was displayed and then the next day the battery completely died. I took it to the shop and had it fixed. They said that battery was missing a cell and they replaced the battery, fixed the air conditioning basically fixed all issues. Fast forward to a year to the date the same issue started again in that order. The car has officially cut off and I searched and there are no open recalls coming up for my VIN number.

I had the car repaired last year around this time with an issue saying that the battery charging system needed to be serviced. At the time I had recently bought a battery but the shop informed it could be due to a dead cell in the battery 1 year exactly and the same issue occurs. It start with the check engine light being displayed then it will start sending the message and battery light comes on. There should not be another dead cell battery. There is definitely an issue with the charging system of these cars. This will cause the vehicle when in eco mode to restart cause power loss whe driving and also cause the radio, navigation ect to loss brightness. The car releases loud sound for the A/C and defrost thumping and ticking also sputtering when accelerator is touched. Even when switching from park to any other gear is when this is heard regarding when A/C heat or defrost is on. This is during driving or after starting car. Originally happened 10/12/18 happening again as of 10/18/2019

Camshaft sensor fails repeatedly, after warranty replacement. This is causing the motor to die at different speed's and loss of vehicle control. The vehicle is unreliable and unstable. It is a liability to operate knowing any minute the csps can fail and render the vehicle useless.

Tamara recall-the car only has 67000 miles on it, and for some reason it is using oil. There is exhaust fumes/smoke coming out of the tail pipe. There have been occasions where it has not started. I took it to the dealership where I purchased it brand new off of the showroom floor in 2014, and they did a diagnostic on it; and inform me that they can find nothing wrong. Why all of the sudden is the oil pressure down so low and my warranty will be up at 70000 miles. I asked the technician to examine the drivetrain and other components covered under the warranty; but they refused. Also the screen on the satellite radio and clock fades out and comes back on. The dealership failed to provide a response to this as well. I need answers to determine the cause of the engine and electrical problems, but if the dealership where I purchased the vehicle cannot answer the questions; what is left to do to get it repaired properly" the car is stationery when the screen fades out and also the inside lights go out periodically as well as the headlights. What can be done" we need assistance. GM needs to know that this dealership is providing less than satisfactory service.
