2015 Buick Verano

My vehicle was rear ended and when the wire connection was detached there was signs of corrosion cause by moisture. The insurance company wont pay for it because the Buick mechanic said this is a common issue with Buick Verano's. When moisture gets into the connectors all instruments on the dashboard goes haywire. it's my belief that this may cause the car to stall and if that happens no power steering or no power breaks.

The Service Side Detection System (SSDS) maintenance light appears on my dashboard and remains unless I cancel it out by pressing the menu button on the turning signal. Both sides of the vehicle cannot accurately detect when vehicles are approaching and passing…the SSDS indicator lights in the side mirrors come on and off randomly. Currently, my left mirror indicator light remains lit even when the vehicle is turned off. The problem started with my fan…it stopped blowing air. I made a stop and when I restarted my vehicle the fan started again. This problem started about 6-8 months ago. Now…it is getting worst…I am getting errors on all my systems when I start my car. Yesterday, I couldn’t turn my car off…finally when I did, I couldn’t start it. I was not able to engage the brake pedal and couldn’t turn over the vehicle. I remote started the vehicle; however, when I tried to actually start the vehicle by pressing the Engine start button it would not turn to green…now, unable to turn over the car completely and again unable to turn off the car I utilized the remote to shut the engine off. This morning, engine turned on and only the SSDS light came on and Theft Detection…fan blower going off and on randomly. A recall is needed.

THE CAR CONSTANTLY HAS THE SAME ERROR STATING THAT THE AC IS OFF DUE TO HIGH ENGINE TEMPS. EVEN WHEN FIRST STARTED IN THE MORNINGS. LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR SHOWED AN ERROR STATING THAT THE STABLITRAK NEEDED SERVICED. IT THEN JUMPED LANES AND LEFT THE ROAD. I LOST STEERING CAPABILITY AS WELL AND MY SCREEN FOR THE RADIO AND SUCH KEEP BLACKING OUT AND REBOOTING OVER AND OVER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 BUICK VERANO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HER VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TODD WENZEL BUICK GMC OF DAVISON (1146 S STATE RD, DAVISON, MI 48423, (810) 515-8778) WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER BLIND SPOT DETECTION DOES NOT WORK AND "SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM" ERROR MESSAGE NOW APPEARS ON DASHBOARD. UPON REVIEW THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE THAT AFFECTS THE CHEVY CRUZE OF SAME YEAR FOR WHICH CAMPAIGN #N172097060 WAS ISSUED IN APRIL 2019. THE SENSOR MODULE SEEMS TO HAVE FAILED DUE TO POOR DESIGN THAT ALLOWS WATER TO GET IN EASILY. (THE VERANO IS VIRTUALLY THE SAME CAR).

IT ALL STARTED WITH THE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM. TOLD ME TO HAVE IT SERVICED, AS I WAS ON THE HIGH WAY THE ELECTRICAL STATED GOING CRAZY. GAUGES GOING BACK AND FOURTH CONSTANTLY, RADIO TURNED OFF, FANS TURNED OFF, AND BLIND SPOTS KEPT BLINKING. THE MECHANIC FOUND A CORROSION ISSUE. THEY WERE ABLE TO UNPLUG IT BUT IT ALSO MADE IT SO MY REAR BRAKE LIGHT ON THE RIGHT WOULD NOT WORK (WHICH IS ILLEGAL). IT WOULD COST ME OVER $1,000 TO FIX THIS ISSUE SINCE THE CORROSION ISN'T COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THIS VEHICLE WAS MADE WITH A FAULTY ITEM GOING OUT OF THE FACTORY THAT WAY. I AM APPALLED IN GM FOR LETTING A VEHICLE GO OUT ON THE STREET THIS WAY.

UPON STARTING THE CAR WE HAVE NO WORKING GUAGES. THE TEMPERATURE AND GAS LEVEL DON'T WORK. AND THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGES SHOW UP ON THE DASH. SERVICE AIR BAG, TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM, FRONT CAMERA, PARKING ASSIST, SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM, AND THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM. THE CAR IT BASICALLY UNDRIVEABLE. THE BLINKERS DO NOT WORK, HEATED SEATS (THOUGH THAT IS MINOR) RADIO STOPS WORKING. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TEMPERATURE OF THE ENGINE IS, HOW MUCH FUEL WE HAVE AND HOW FAST WE ARE GOING. THERE IS ONLY 68,800 MILES ON IT. WHEN I CALL THE DEALERSHIP (THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES WITH THE TECHNOLOGY TO LOOK AT THIS AND TROUBLESHOOT) THEY TELL ME IT'S A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS JUST TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE CAR IS THIS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BUT I HAVE TO PAY TO DIAGNOSE IT. THEN I FIND OUT JUST TO REPLACE THE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM WILL COST ME LIKE $700. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO FIX THIS BIGGER ISSUE. I'M FORCED TO PAY TO HAVE DIAGNOSTICS RUN AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I CAN'T HAVE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER DRIVING AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE WHEN IT'S THIS UNSAFE. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO I CAN UPLOAD IF NEEDED. BUT FOR NOW I TOOK SCREENSHOTS OF THE VIDEO AND WILL UPLOAD THEM. WHAT CAN BE DONE ON STUFF LIKE THIS? I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, JASON
