2013 Buick Verano

THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT 35 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY AND PARK. THE ENGINE STARTED THE FIRST TIME I PUSHED THE START BUTTON. DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG BUT SUGGESTED IT MIGHT BE THE TYPE OF FUEL. I STARTED USING THE TYPE FUEL THEY SUGGESTED AND KEPT THE GAS TANK HALF FULL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE MAY. AGAIN ON JULY 13TH THE ENGINE STALLED WHEN I PULLED UP AND STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY KEPT IT THREE DAYS AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPENED TWO WEEKS AGO AUGUST 5TH WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT 40 MPH. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE CURB BUT THIS TIME THE CAR WOULDN'T START THE FIRST TIME I PUSHED THE BUTTON. I TRIED A SECOND AND THIRD TIME AND I THEN TOOK TIME TO GET MY PHONE TO CALL FOR HELP AND DECIDED I WOULD TRY ONE MORE TIME AND THIS TIME IT STARTED. DEALER KEPT IT 5 DAYS AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY CALLED THE TECHNICIANS AT GM AND THEY HAD NO ANSWER. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CONTACT PERSON AT GM TOLD ME THEY HAVE NEVER HAD ANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR THE VERANO. THEY MUST NOT BE LOOKING AT THIS WEBSITE!! I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN FRONT OF AN 18 WHEELER AND THIS HAPPENED. I HOPE SOMETHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE UP A SMALL HILL AT 30MPH A BEEP SOUNDED, I CHECKED THE DASHBOARD FOR A LOW FUEL NOTIFICATION OR SOME OTHER ALERT. THE DASHBOARD WAS TOTALLY DARK. THE START/STOP ENGINE BUTTON WAS YELLOW.THE VEHICLE HAD SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PULLED OVER AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK.I RESTARTED THE CAR WITHOUT ANY DIFFICULTIES. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS OF AN ISSUE, SUCH AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE HEADED TOWARDS HARRISBURG ON I 83 SOUTH, AND THE ENGINE CUT OUT, NOT ONCE, BUT 3 TIMES. THE CAR TOTALLY LOST ALL POWER. EACH TIME I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TREMBLING AND PRAYING THAT THE CAR WOULD RESTART. *TR ALL INSTRUMENT PANELS WENT OUT, NO WARNING LIGHTS TO WARN OF WHAT MAY COME NEXT.. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE TO WAIT A WEEK TO GET IN. *TR

THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A BACK UP CAMERA AND SCREEN INSIDE. WHICH I UNDERSTAND WILL SHORTLY BE A REQUIREMENT FOR ALL CARS. HOWEVER THERE ARE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH CAMERA/SCREEN SYSTEM. IF CAR IS PARKED IN A GARAGE THE LIGHT SENSOR SETS THE TV SCREEN TO THE LOWEST LEVEL, AND WHEN YOU BACK OUT INTO THE DAY LIGHT, YOU ARE UNABLE TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN BACK OF THE CAR, AS SCREEN TO DO DARK TO BE VISIBLE. PLUS IF YOU HAVE SUNGLASSES ON, IT IS EVEN WORSE. SOME GM CARS I AM TOLD CAN OVERRIDE THE DARK SCREEN, BUT NOT ON THIS MODEL. ALSO SCREEN DISPLAY IT HIGH UP ON DASH, AND WHEN THE SUN IS OVERHEAD IT OVERPOWERS THE SCREEN AND AGAIN THE BACK UP TV SYSTEM IS UNUSABLE. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED SO THE SAFETY FEATURE IN THE CAR WITH DO WHAT IT SHOULD. I HAVE WRITTEN TO GM ON THE ITEM, BUT NO SATISFACTION FROM THEN ON THE ITEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 BUICK VERANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT ROTOR NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS HAD A RUBBING OR GRINDING SENSATION JUST AFTER MAKING A TURN, AT LOW SPEEDS. IT IS SUBTLE BUT DEFINITELY THERE. THE DEALER DISCOUNTED MY CLAIM DURING THE FIRST SERVICE VISIT AND SAID THAT IT IS NORMAL. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE STEERING ISSUES THAT I HAVE AT HIGHER SPEEDS OR NOT. THIS ISSUE ONLY HAPPENS JUST AFTER MAKING HARD TURNS SUCH AS 90 DEGREE TURNS FROM STREET TO STREET. IT DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN MAKING CURVES. *TR

THIS CAR HAS STEERING ISSUES DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE STEERING GETS VERY STIFF AND APPEARS TO GET STUCK WHEN THE WHEELS ARE IN ONE POSITION FOR VERY LONG SUCH AS ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED A MULTITUDE OF TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LAST JULY. IN THE BEGINNING, I ASSUMED IT WAS BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NEW BUT IT'S TAKING MORE AND MORE EFFORT TO ADJUST THE STEERING DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL. THIS IS A CONCERN BECAUSE ONE DAY IT COULD LEAD TO OVER ADJUSTMENT AND MAYBE A WRECK AT HIGHER SPEEDS. DRIVING IN THE CITY WHERE I LIVE IS NOT A PROBLEM, AS THAT I MAKE FREQUENT TURNS AND THE STEERING DOES NOT HAVE TIME TO LOCK UP. *TR

STEERING WHEEL STICKS AND SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS. HAVE NOTICED ONLY WHEN CAR STEERING IS IN ONE STILL POSITION FOR 4-5 SECONDS AND THEN HAVE TO READJUST STEERING COURSE OR TURN. YOU HAVE TO USE AN ABNORMAL AMOUNT OF FORCE TO GET STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE. CONERN IS FOR OVER ADJUSTMENT. THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS NOW. MAY OCCUR AT LOWER SPEEDS BUT IS NOT NOTICED AS I DRIVE IN THE CITY MORE OFTEN SO AM FREQUENTLY TURNING AND ADJUSTING COURSE. THERE IS ONE OTHER REPORT ON HERE TO DATE ABOUT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER APPROX 30 MINS OF DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, STEERING "BINDS" CAUSES DRIVER TO USE EXTRA FORCE TO TURN THE WHEEL, THEN STEERING FREES UP. THIS CAUSES AN OVER-STEER SITUATION. I AM SEEING IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS ON OTHER SITES SUCH AS GMFOURM.COM. BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO ISSUE WHEN INDEED THERE IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AS CONFIRMED BY OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR VEHICLES. SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRIC STEERING ASSIST ISSUE. *TR
