Summary

After buying car from Car dealer named Carizona in Mesa Arizona. 1 week later car needs new engine. Initially message appeared stating Engine Performance reduced after leaving the car dealer. How is it that a car dealer purchases a car not ensuring safety of its vehicles. Was there even a safety check. What if I or someone else got hurt after driving that vehicle. There are multiple safety reports but they are still selling cars.

Summary

AFTER COLD START THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS WEAK TO NON EXISTENT. WE HAVE A SLOPE OF APPROXIMATELY 25-30 DEGREES AND THIS CAUSED US TO GO INTO OUR NEIGHBORS YARD WHEN THE BRAKES ONLY SLOWED THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT BRING IT TO A COMPLETE STOP. WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED, HOWEVER DIAGNOSIS IS PROBLEMATIC DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT ONLY OCCURS ON A COLD START AND THEN BECOMES A NON ISSUE. CURRENTLY YATES BUICK IN GOODYEAR AZ HAS BEEN DISMISSIVE AND UNHELPFUL WITH THIS PROBLEM AND BUICK CUSTOMER CARE LINE IS EQUALLY UNHELPFUL. I WILL UPDATE IF I CAN FIND A MECHANIC THAT CAN DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

Summary

MY BUICK PURCHASED NOVEMBER 2019 HAS THE MISFORTUNE OF HAVING THE 2.0 LTG 4CYL TURBO. THROUGH RESEARCH I HAVE LEARNED THAT CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WITH THE PISTONS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ACROSS THE GM PLATFORM WITH SAME ENGINES. THIS IS LIKELY CAUSED BY A MISFIRE OR PREIGNITION IN THE CYLINDER WHICH WHICH FEEDS ON ITSELF AS IT GETS WORSE. ALSO THE PCV SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR A NATURALLY ASPIRATED ENGINE NOT A TURBO ENGINE. THIS SYSTEM FUNCTIONS ONLY WHEN THERE IS NO BOOST FROM THE TURBO. THIS CAUSE GUNK TO BUILD UP EVENTUALLY BACK FLOWING INTO #1. SINCE LIQUID WILL NOT COMPRESS IT CREATES PRESSURE IN THE CYLINDER DAMAGING THE RINGS. I PURCHASED MY CAR USED WITH NO WARRANTY AND EXACTLY 100K. EVEN ON THE TEST DRIVE I FELT A MISFIRE BUT WAS TOLD IT'S NOTHING. MAYBE MY FOOT SLIPPED. FIVE DAYS LATER THE PREIGNITION HAPPENED AGAIN. CHANGE THE PLUGS AND WIRES AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR AWHILE. THREE WEEKS LATER WHEN I COLD START THE ENGINE IN THE MORNING TO WARM UP. IT WAS EXHIBITING THE SAME MISFIRING ALONG WITH A FLUCTUATING IDLE AND EXCESSIVE FUEL BEING BLOWN OUT THE EXHAUST. PULLED THE CODES ALL IT SAID WAS MISFIRE IN #2. BROUGHT IT IN TO SERVICE SHOP. THEY PULLED THE CODES WITH NOTHING REPORTING. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A NORMAL SITUATION IN THE BUICKS. BEING NAIVE AND UNFAMILIAR WITH THE MOTOR I BELIEVED THEM. I DID FIND A GM SERVICE BULLETIN THAT DID SUPPORT WHAT THEY SAID. CLAIMED IT WAS DOUBLE IGNITING TO HEAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTOR UP FASTER. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO EXHIBIT THE SAME ISSUES ALL ALONG IM BEING TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. FAST FORWARD TO LAST WEEK THE PROBLEM EXPONENTIALLY INCREASED. BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER. THEY COULDN'T "FIND" ANYTHING THOUGH THEY AGREED WASN'T RUNNING RIGHT. MARCH 7 ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. YEP SOMETHING IS WRONG BUT THE CAR IS NOT SAYING ANYTHING. THE TECH WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND THE MOTOR FAILED. A BORE SCOPE REVEALED SEVERE PISTON DAMAGE.

WHOLE CAR SHUT DOWN, NOT EVEN REMOTES WOULD WORK. GOT THE HOOD OPENED AND DISCOVERED A MELTING WIRE CONNECTED TO THE NEGATIVE SIDE. THANK GOD I WAS HOME WHEN IT HAPPENED. COULD THIS HAVE CAUGHT FIRE INSIDE MY GARAGE? MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT TURNER TOYOTA IN MONTROSE COLORADO. WAS INQUIRING IF THIS IS A MALFUNCTION WITH WIRING HARNESS. SO FAR ITS COSTING US 800.00 DOLLARS IN REPAIR, WHICH I DONT HAVE MY CAR BACK AS OF TODAY.

Summary

OFF AND ON OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS, THERE WAS A LOSS OF BRAKES DIRECTLY AFTER STARTUP. AFTER 30 SECONDS OR SO, THE BRAKES WOULD FUNCTION NORMALLY. THIS CAR IS NORMALLY GARAGE KEPT. WALKING TO THE CAR AT NIGHT TO LEAVE, I NOTICED OIL ON THE GARAGE FLOOR COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR. AFTER OPENING THE HOOD, I NOTICED OIL IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. AFTER REMOVING THE PLASTIC ENGINE COVER, I SAW THAT THE OIL WAS COMING FROM WHAT I LEARNED IS THE VACCUM PUMP. THERE WAS A VISIBLE BREAK IN THE PUMP HOUSING. I WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT GETTING THIS SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY STARTED THAT THIS PART IS ONLY COVERED UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND NOT POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THE VACUUM PUMP IS DIRECTLY MOUNTED TO AND CONNECTED TO THE INTAKE CAMSHAFT. MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED 3 1/2 MONTHS OR 219 MILES PRIOR, YET THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNWILLING TO HELP AND QUOTED ME $104 FOR A NEW AC DELCO VACUUM PUMP. I WAS ABLE TO ORDER A NEW AC DELCO VACUUM PUMP FROM ROCK AUTO FOR $43. AFTER RECEIVING THE NEW PUMP, A MECHANIC FRIEND WAS HELPING ME TO REPLACE THE PUMP. WHEN THE OLD ONE WAS REMOVED, IT WAS SHOWN TO HAVE DISINTEGRATED. THE INSIDE OF THE PART WAS IN MANY PIECES. THE PART THAT ENGAGES THE CAMSHAFT WAS ALSO BROKE INTO PIECES AND AT THIS POINT I BELIEVE THAT SEVERAL OF THOSE ARE NOW INSIDE THE ENGINE. AT THIS POINT I AM GOING TO TAKE THE OLD PART TO THE DEALERSHIP, ALONG WITH PHOTOS OF THE ENGINE AND DEMAND THAT THIS IS NOW FIXED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, AS THE POWERTRAIN IS DIRECTLY AFFECTED. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, THE LOSS OF BRAKES COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC.

Summary

WHILE NORMALLY DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPTING TO PASS A SEMI TRUCK, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT OUT OF CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WENT TO MAXIMUN ACCELERATION AND THE BRAKES AND STEERING BOTH FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A SPIN AND CRASHED INTO THE SEMI TRUCK'S REAR TRAILER WHEELS. THE TRUCK RAN OVER THE LEFT FRONT PORTION OF THE VEHICLE, BLOWING BOTH OUTER TIRES ON THE TRUCK AND CRUSHING THE FRONT, LEFT PORTION VEHICLE IN THE PROCESS. THERE WAS NO TICKETS ISSUED BY THE POLICE AGENCY THAT INVESTIGATED THE ACCIDENT. THE INSURANCE COMPANY INVOLVED SETTLED ALL CLAIMS AND TOTALED OUT THE VEHICLE. I REPURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY BECAUSE I WAS DETERMINED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED. IT TOOK ME 3 MONTHS TO FIGURE IT OUT, HOWEVER I HAVE. THE MAIN CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT WAS GM'S FAILURE TO INSTALL AN ELECTRICAL GROUND STRAP FROM THE ENGINE TO THE CHASSIS. NOW THERE IS NO PATH FOR THE ELECTRICITY TO GET BACK EITHER TO THE ALTERNATOR OR THE BATTERY. WHILE THERE ARE SOME SMALL GROUND RETURNS IN THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS, NOTHING LARGE ENOUGH FOR THE REQUIRED AMPERAGE TO GET BACK. WHEN IT CAN'T FIND A PATH, IT LOOKS FOR ANOTHER WAY THROUGH THE BODY OR THE SMALL RETURNS IN THE CABLE. THE WIRES IN THE CABLE GOT HOT AND MELTED THE INSULATION OFF AND SHORTED OUT THE OTHER WIRES. THIS DROPPED THE VOLTAGE ON THE MAIN BUSS WHICH FEEDS THE COMPUTER. THE COMPUTER CONTROLS THE POWER SETTINGS TO THE ENGINE, THE BRAKING SYSTEM, AND THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING,ALL FAILED. ONLY GOOD THING THAT THEY HAVE A COMPLETELY SEPARATE SYSTEM FOR THE AIR BAG CONTROLS AND SEAT BELT RETRACTORS. THEY ALL WORKED PERFECTLY, OTHERWISE MY WIFE WOULD BE DEAD. UPDATED 07/11/17*LJ *CN

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
If a vehicle's shift cable disengages from the transmission shift lever, a driver may be unable to shift gear positions and the indicated shift position may not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. Should a disengagement occur while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the driver may be able to shift the lever to the "PARK" position, but the vehicle transmission may not be in the "PARK" gear position. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
