1 Equipment problem of the 2006 Buick Terraza

Failure Date: 12/26/2014

While making a left turn onto another street at approximately 12 mph, the left rear ball joint pulled completely unseated. This caused the wheel to no longer spin and pushed the top against the frame causing damage to the following: upper control arm, upper pivot bushing, and knuckle on the left rear wheel. I did have the ball joint replaced and currently am in need of replacing the bushing and knuckle. All in all, these repairs will have cost ball joint replacement and labor approximately 267. 00, bushing and knuckle 165. 00, and upper control arm 65. 00, plus tool rentals. Luckily I was not driving any faster at the time of incident, but still it caused loss of function and steering based on that. There is a recall in canada for this issue but has not been issued in the u. S. I'm seriously considering a lawsuit against gm for this as it is used not only as my working vehicle for my job, but also to transport my family.

3 Equipment problem of the 2005 Buick Terraza

Failure Date: 06/28/2014

During cruise on highway (I-95 in florida) while on vacation the left rear power sliding door became unlatched and warning chimes sounded repeatedly and interior lights illuminated, this occurred several times again on this trip there was an investigation by the NHTSA in 2008 report #ea07019 which determined no defect was present which would require a recall. I beg to differ with that assessment there most certainly is a problem here, gm issued TSB #07-08-007 and #07-08-007 a-d which tells dealerships how to repair this problem. Please look into this matter again it is very unsettling to have my kids riding in the rear and having a door unlatch at highway speeds thank you for your time and consideration.

4 Equipment problem of the 2006 Buick Terraza

Failure Date: 05/15/2013

In 2013 had my passenger slider door fixed for not opening half the time or it would just open. I took it in and got it fix cost me 800. 00 and the same day got it fixed the driver door did the same thing and the dealer finally got it to shut but still having problems with it opening all my it self and then we have a hard time getting it to close. I seen alot of complaints about these doors just wondering if any problems are with a recall.

5 Equipment problem of the 2006 Buick Terraza

Failure Date: 08/10/2011

The automatic sliding doors won't colse. It opens up again when the closing slide door touches the frame. This happens every a few days!! very frustrating. And I saw there are 4 or 5 similar compliant reports on this already. So looks like it does happens on a number of vehicles already, not an isolated incident.

6 Equipment problem of the 2007 Buick Terraza

Failure Date: 07/23/2010

I have had nothing but trouble from the start with our car's stability system. The back end was making a terrible thumping and grinding sound every time I would go over the slightest uneven surfaces. There have been multiple repairs made including replacing right rear bushing, rewelding of an unknown part on the right rear and the stabiltity/abs systems repaired multiple times. Yet, the car continues to have suspension problems. It has a unstable, wobbly ride especially on the interstate. Among other things I've also had a wheel senor replaced. We bought a Buick Terraza conversion van and have come to find out that they have a problem with the rear end that affects the stability of the car. I called braun mobility about a recall for the suspension problems and informed them of the multiple repairs. Superior mobility inspected the car again and has been my ongoing contact for problems with the car. They referred me to beck auto service who has done must of the repairs. Early on, shortly after we purchased the car, there was some sort of wiring problem that caused the "check engine" light to continually come on which was repaired by andy mohr gm dealer. To add insult to injury, I've had trouble lately with the van not wanting to start because the key won't turn in the ignition. In addition, we've had ongoing problems with the automatic doors malfunctioning; both power doors on the vehicle have failed to close on several occasions. The power door on the driver's side ocassionally requires multiple attempts to close and often the door warning chimes will not go off, even when the door is closed. I am still having suspension problems and would like to have a solution that works. This vehicle is used to transport my diabled husband and the ongoing problems have been extremely frustrating. The car is a 2007 Buick Terraza with less than 44,000 miles!!!.
