Steering makes a clicking noise when turning the wheel. The vehicle makes a clunking noise when hitting minor bumps in the road and intermittently the steering wheel shakes at highway speeds. The vehicle has a rattling noise when first started and recently the abs/traction control service light comes on when first started. Also the vehicle has decreased horsepower and the mileage lcd screen has been acting up and not always showing the prndl and also the transmission acts up when shifting into 3 and 6 gear.
This car has a whinning noise coming from the steering column that gets louder the more drive it. I have contacted the Buick care dept and they indicated it is a known problem but they will not fix it. They had me take my car to the Buick place where I purchased the vehicle and they come up with about 1900. 00 to fix this and say that it is a known problem with the Buick steering that some housing is too close to the steering column and it creates the noise and steering problems and that Buick and everyone else is aware of it and that they should issue a recall but do not. In addition I have engine stalling problems where there is lack of power upon sudden acceleration. This happens frequently.
