Body Problems of Buick Lacrosse - part 1

Car doors unlatched (becoming in open position [unlocked and unlatched] before it being completely open). It happened twice, ones when I was driving and the warning buzzer turned on and the instrument panel give me a message telling me the driving door is open, this is happened suddenly after driving for 10 minutes in very good local streets condition. I stopped to check the door and I was surprised to find its been unlatched to the pre open position. Second time happened when was the car parked and looked, after about 30 minutes the car horn starts beeping and the lights flashing, l got a message from onstar on my phone telling me my car doors are in open position. I went out to check the car and I found the driver side rear door is in open position (pre open position, unlocked and unlatched position, if you pull the door it will open completely). This is a safety concern.

Trunk randomly opens. It has happened many times and my key fob is not in my pocket. I keep it on a clip on my purse when not in use. Once I noticed the alert in my car popped up on my display while driving @ 55 mph and I did stop and closed the trunk. Most of the time car has been stationary. Once it must have been opened during the night and it rained. Whole trunk was very wet. Several time while at work and my car was parked in the parking lot--had someone tell my my trunk was open.

The trunk of my vehicle is filling up with water when it rains when it is stationary and moving. When I took a hose to it I started from the moon roof to the back of vehicle and it was filling up with water. The vehicle is in excellent condition. It started in August of 2018.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Buick Lacrosse. While driving 65 mph, the front passenger side fender guard was loose. A screw attached to the guard fell off and caused the rear passenger side tire to flatten. The tire was replaced.

Trunk will release without warning. This can happen while driving or at a stop without engine running. It takes several attempts to close completely. The vehicle was parked in my driveway overnight. I found it open in the morning.

The driver side door won't open. Problem started with the door not locking after closing it. After several attempts of opening and shutting the door it finally locked. Once locked the door would not open back up. The dealership told me that the 2007 year models have defective door latch assembly�s.

The trunk releases and pops open on its own. The trunk opens immediately after it is shut. The sequence of close and release happens several times before the trunk remains latched. The occurrences have been when the vehicle is parked idle and with the engine off.

Sunroof does not close completely. The part that lifts to slide back, opening the sunroof, no longer closes flush. It also appears that the second glass of the panoramic sunroof has moved forward. It will open but will not close. This malfunction occurs in motion, idle or parked.

Trunk randomly opens whether parked or while driving. This has happened many times.

As I was heading out of town for my daily commute to work I heard a loud pop noise. I looked up and noticed my sunroof had exploded above me. I was going about 40 mph and had no traffic around me. I turned around and headed back home where I noticed that the glass was bent upward as if there was too much pressure in the cabin. I took the car to the dealership and they said something had to of hit it which I do not believe because there was no traffic around me and the hole was about 1ft by 1ft with the glass bent upward as if it was something from the inside that caused it to explode. I looked up on line and noticed that the 2015 Buick regal and chevy cruze both had to have recalls where they replaced thin glass in sunroofs. To me it appears this is the case for my 2016 Buick Lacrosse where the glass was too thin.

With no impacts, the car was parked, and when placed in r to back up, the entire front bumper,grill,lights wheel wells and fog light wires dropped off the vehicle. All "rubber connectors to the chassis were fatigued. 30189 miles on the car. A clearly defined defective design to hold the entire front of the car by six flimsy, thin and plastic or rubber connectors. Cost $1300, to me, $500. A flimsy attachment for the front end. A disaster if car was moving at any speed.

There has been an unusual tingling noise (example: tapping sound of an aluminum tin pan) coming from the rear driver left and passenger right sides of the body pillar panels. The sound is noticed while driving on rugged pavement and also with increased speed on the pavement. Service records can be furnished of multiple visits to the dealer addressing my concern/complaint, but there has been no satisfactory resolve. Moss brothers has been very generous in making accommodations (loaners, dollar incentives) for me while my vehicle was being diagnosed and kept under their care, but I also have a complaint about how dealer surveys are structured. Please note for the record, I have completed and submitted to the dealer many surveys giving them praise for their service, only because I had to pick and choose which battle I wanted to fight to get what I needed to have done. There were a few times where praise was in order but more times when it was not. One time when I wrote a complaint last year, I was verbally scalded in a phone conversation about that and was told that all they did to assist with loaner provisions, that my negative survey affects the dealership's rating and employee bonus/recognition. I felt at that moment, "voiceless" and like their "unwanted step-child". With that said, I tread gingerly on how my real opinion is expressed when completing dealer surveys now. I would love to continue buying Buick vehicles as this is my second Buick Lacrosse that I have purchased from moss brothers, but I feel there is much work yet to be done to improve the integrity of how surveys are structured so as to not jeopardize the customer's loyalty to the brand, assistance services being provided and dollar incentives being given to keep customers as a satisfied and long-term customer.

The chrome is peeling off the interior door handle on the drivers front door, causing a razor sharp edge, that cuts my finger. It is a safety hazard that should be addressed.

Trapped inside of 2006 Lacrosse with a door lock that would not open. Dealer could not replicate the problem nor fix it. Gm executive offices claim the door lock is a wear item. It is unacceptable for a door lock to trap a person inside a car that has 83,000 miles and 9 years old. Enough such occurrences are discussed on various sites on the internet. This combined with a faulty passenger seat airbag sensor and executive managament's lack of concern is enough to stay away from all gm products.

I purchased this vehicle a year ago with 66,100 miles. One previous owner. The passenger side rear door would not open. It's still inoperable. I do not know when the door stopped working, just that it was prior to 66,100 miles. It has made the vehicle un-safe to exit from the rear seat when parked street-side.

The posts on the front right and left side restrict visibility to a serious degree. Because of the post on the front right side of the car blocking visibility I have had near misses, and actually caused me to hit a curb and get a flat tire. Other times I haven't seen people on the right side of my car. The post and mirrors size and location makes it a very dangerous.
