Complaint
2011
SUSPENSION
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OVER A BUMP, A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE CONTINUOUSLY EMITTED FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER ENCOUNTERING UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES OR BUMPS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FRONT END SUSPENSION AND THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.
2013 BUICK LACROSSE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE REAR VIEW CAMERA PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN REVERSE, THE IMAGE ON THE NAVIGATOR SCREEN WAS SUPPOSED TO SHOW A YELLOW GUIDELINE TO ASSIST IN ORIENTING THE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS BEING BACKED UP. THE GUIDELINES WERE A CRITICAL FEATURE OF THE REAR VIEW CAMERA. THE VEHICLE WAS MISSING THOSE GUIDELINES. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE LOCAL AND NATIONAL GM REPRESENTATIVES AND THEY REFUSED TO CORRECT THE SAFETY PROBLEM. A FULLY FUNCTIONAL REAR VIEW CAMERA IS A SAFETY NECESSITY WITH THE VEHICLE, SINCE IT HAS A VERY SMALL NARROW BACK WINDOW. COMPOUNDING THE PROBLEM WAS THE UNRELIABILITY OF THE NAVIGATION SCREEN. THE CONSUMER HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM FIXED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. WHEN THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WENT BLANK, THE REAR VIEW CAMERA DID NOT WORK.
