Summary

On June, 4th, 2021 in the morning I went to Markham Park with my 13 year old daughter for the covid vaccine. We arrived and right after the shot on her we stopped our Tesla in a line where we should wait for about 15/20 minutes to see if everything was fine with my daughter. While the car was stopped in the line, I was talking to my daughter and the car started moving in the direction of the car in front of us and it hit the car many time till I turned the steering wheel to go away from there. Everything was very fast and confusing. I`m still trying to understand what happened with the car. The car was out of control and the car never tried to break or stop. I think it has stopped because I pressed the P button. I am so frightened and scared about what happened. My daughter and I, the passengers in the car in front of us and the people in the park could have been seriously injured. I opened a report at Tesla in the same day.

Summary

I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY WITH OPEN FIELDS ON BOTH SIDES. THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS OR TRUCKS ON THE ROAD. CLEAR BLUE SKY AND THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 50 DEGREES. NO WINDOWS WERE OPEN IN THE CAR. I WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 62 MPH. THERE WAS WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS AN EXPLOSION SOUND SOMETHING CLOSE TO THE SOUND OF A 45ACP PISTOL DISCHARGE.. LUCKILY I HAD THE SUN SCREEN CLOSED OR I WOULD HAVE HAD GLASS EVERYWHERE. THE FRONT SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED AND THERE WAS A 18" HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. THE FORCE OF THE BREAK WENT UP, MEANING THE EDGE OF THE BROKEN GLASS WAS RAISED ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF ABOVE THE REST OF THE GLASS AND WINDOW FRAME. THAT KIND OF A BREAK IS CAUSED BY STRESS NOT FROM SOMETHING LIKE A STONE HITTING IT.. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN AUGUST SO THE CAR IS ONLY 4 MONTHS OLD. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE THE CAR TO BERGSTROM MOTORS IN GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN, FOR THEM TO FIX IT. THEY TOOK PICTURES. SERVICE MANAGERS NAME IS [XXX]. HE HAS ALL THE INFORMATION. THERE IS NO POLICE REPORT. [XXX] GOT BACK WITH ME TODAY, DECEMBER 10, 2020, AND TOLD ME BUICK WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS BECAUSE IT'S GLASS. I WAS TOLD THE REPAIR WOULD BE ABOUT $1000. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

Summary

I BOUGHT A 2020 BUICK ENCLAVE, (OWNED BY GMC) WITH 6 MILES ON IT, 1 WEEK AGO. YESTERDAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED JERKING ANYTIME THE TRANSMISSION SWITCHED GEARS. I CALLED TO TRY TO GET IT IN TO A CERTIFIED BUICK DEALERSHIP TO BE LOOKED AT AND NOWHERE CAN GET IT IN FOR 3-5 DAYS AND NONE OF THE DEALERSHIPS WILL GIVE A LOANER CAR UNTIL THE TIME OF THE VEHICLE APPOINTMENT. I CONTACTED BUICK DIRECTLY REGARDING THIS AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING, THAT WE CAN'T GET A SAFE DRIVING VEHICLE, UNTIL THE ONE WE HAVE CAN BE LOOKED AT BY A DEALERSHIP AND IF WE TAKE IT TO AN UN-CERTIFIED SHOP THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. SO NOW I AM STUCK WITH EITHER DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR 50 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS OR NOT BEING ABLE TO GO TO WORK. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR DRIVEN STRAIGHT OUT OF THE FLOOR ROOM! BUICK IS PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIFE AT RISK BY INSISTING THAT WE DRIVE THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY UNTIL WE CAN GET IT LOOKED AT! LOOKS LIKE A HUGE LAWSUIT IN THE MAKING!!!!! *TR
