2007 Buick Lacrosse Problems & Complaints

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2007 Buick Lacrosse. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a dealer sale. The mileage at the time of the purchase was 77,000. It was later discovered that the actual mileage was 131,000. The Carfax Report mileage was not available.

Car refuses to relearn the app sensor. Throttle body and sensor is good, always changed the EVAP Purge valve. Still throwing codes and reduce engine speed stays on..

Low beam headlights randomly turn off while driving at night and day. Causing not to be able to see the roadway at all. Very dangerous!!! They give no warning at all. Only the low beams do this. Bright lights are not affected. There was a recall for this issue but they said my car was not affected. But it is 100% affected by this recall. Ot seems like the Headlamp driver module is overheating. It gets extremely hot. This issue almost caused a very serious accident .

Taken car to dealership for computer analysis and was told that the issue was caused by P0420cataylic converter needed to be replaced. I had cataylic converter replaced elsewhere and noticed that wasn't the problem. After doing some research I found that ignition switch is the reason my car stalls while driving. There was a Product Safety Recall (14299) Ignition key rotation and replaced on 10- 8-20 but I'm having the same problem.

The contact owns a 2007 Buick LaCrosse. The contact was made aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V355000 (Electrical System). The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer and had the recall repair performed. The contact stated that in May 2022, while driving 25 MPH, the engine seized. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated the key failed to turn in the ignition. The contact stated he waited approximately 5 minutes before he was able to restart the vehicle and continue driving to his destination. The contact took the vehicle back to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the catalytic converter to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact took the vehicle to the independent mechanic and had the catalytic converter replaced. The vehicle was repaired but continued to experience the failure. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Problem with the transmission burning up and breaking and the car unable to be driven and I have heard from other people that have had the same problem from there cars mileage from 28,000 miles to 60,000 miles the transmission just goes out It’ll make like a howling noise One day and then you’ll get in the car the next day and it just will not move and the transmission fluid Will smell burnt And it doesn’t matter if you maintenance the transmission filter And fluid

the glass to the sunroof blew off while driving and broken into pieces. broken glass at risk. no, the problem has not been confirmed by dealer or service center. no inspections. no warning lamps messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The sunroof glass just blew off the car while driving.

2007 BUICK LACROSSE. CONSUMER SEEKS REIMBURSEMENT FOR HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE RECALL NOTICE REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED FOR A THIRD TIME AND SINCE HAS NOT HAD A FAILURE. UPDATED 10/10/2017*JS

CAR WAS DRIVING FINE AND TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING AT INTERSECTION AT STOP AND COULD NOT GO HAD TO PUSH VEH OUT OF ROADWAY

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. OCCASIONALLY WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT WILL GO OFF. IT IS MY CONCERN THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN IT SHOULD OR IT WILL DEPLOY WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED AND THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. THIS ALL HAPPENS EITHER STATIONARY AND/OR IN MOTION.

4T65E AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. DEFECTIVE INTERNAL O-RING SEALS IN THE VALVE BODY CAUSE LOSS OF FLUID PRESSURE, LEADING TO SLIPPING AND PREMATURE WEAR.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHILE THE CAR IS TRAVELING INDICATING THE AIRBAGS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. IT COMES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I BROUGHT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLEARED THE MALFUNCTION CODE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE SENSOR UNDER THE SEAT FOR $1250 SINCE IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION GOING EITHER UP OR DOWN AN INCLINE.

WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN I HEARD A POP NOISE SIMULTANEOUSLY VEHICLE DIPPED HARSHLY WITH THE HANDLING AND STEERING CONTROL COMPROMISED. AFTER INSPECTION THE FRACTURED AND BROKEN SWAY BAR WAS DISCOVERED. SWAY BAR ENDS CRACKED BOTH SIDES WITH RIGHT SIDE COMPLETELY SEVERED. CAR WAS USED IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS-MECHANIC SUGGESTED I REPORT THIS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, SINCE APPEARANCE OF THIS LIGHT MAY INDICATE THAT AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN IMPACT. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE CARE AND CLEARED THE CODE, AND ADVISED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS SHOULD THE LIGHT COME BACK ON. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PERVASIVE ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL YEAR AND EVEN YEARS FOLLOWING THIS. IN SOME CASES THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS THAT INVOLVED SOFTWARE ISSUES. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THAT THEY COULD CHANGE THE SENSORS, BUT THIS RUNS ABOUT $2500 AND THERE IS NO WARRANTY THAT IT WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE OF THE INTERMITTENT APPEARANCE OF THE AIRBAG LIGHT. SHOULDN'T THIS INVOLVE AN OFFICIAL RECALL, SINCE IT IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL AND SHOULDN'T THE MANUFACTURER BE RESEARCHING A SOLUTION TO ENSURE DRIVER/PASSENGER SAFETY?

INTERMITTENT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF FOR PASSENGER SEAT WHETHER OR NOT THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED. THIS HAS CONTINUED FOR TWO YEARS. ON-STAR FAILURE CODE IS ALWAYS B0092. I TOOK THE BUICK TO A DEALER WHO ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT TWICE WITHOUT LUCK. THE THRID TRIP FOR A "FIX" WOULD HAVE COST ME $ 1,200 WITHOUT ANY GUARANTEES. IT STILL IS IN USE BUT I NOW KEEP MY FINGERS CROSSED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN PARKED OR DRIVING.

THE STEERING IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN AT SLOW SPEED OR IDLE. IT HAS 64,000 MILES ON IT. PLEASE HELP, IT'S NOT A SAFE CARE TO BE DRIVING AND AS MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS OTHERS HAVE WITH THE SAME YEAR AND SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY BUICK IN 2008 I THINK THEY NEED TO UPGRADE OUR STEERING GEAR.

YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT AND FOR NO REASON THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. YOU HIT THE HIGH BEAMS AND IN A FEW MINUTES THEY GO OUT. HAD THIS CAR TO THE DEALERS AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND THEY KEEP REPLACING THE RELAY AND A MONTH OR TWO LATER IT DOES THE SAME THING.

I WENT TO MY MECHANIC. HE WAS ABLE TO GET A TEMP HMD REPLACEMENT PART IN ABOUT 3 DAYS. HE INSTALLED THE TEMP REPLACEMENT PART AND EXPLAINED TO ME WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DISFUNCTIONING HDM. THAT WAS IN 07/2014.MY BUICK WAS IN THE RECALL FOR THE HDM MALFUNCTION. UPON RECEIVING THE RECALL LETTER, I TOOK MY BUICK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THERE WERE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE AT THAT MOMENT. I SHOULD CHECK BACK OR RECEIVE A PHONE CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHEN SAID PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I EXPLAINED THAT THE PART WAS REPLACED PRIOR TO THE GM RECALL. THE RECALL NOTICE WAS ON 01/2015 FROM GLOBAL VEHICAL SAFETY IN MILWAUKEE, WI. AS FAR AS THE DEALERSHIP, I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM. ON 10/27/2015, I SUBMITTED A REIMBURSEMENT CLAIM FOR OUT OF POCKET PAY ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS STATED ON THAT FORM, TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER 3 MONTHS OF NO RESPONSE FROM THE DEALERSHIP, I WENT IN AND TALKED TO THEM DIRECTLY. THEY STATED THAT A PERM REPLACEMENT PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE YET SO MY CLAIM WOULD NOT BE PROCESSED UNTIL GM ANNOUCED A PART WAS AVAILABLE AND A SECOND LETTER WAS MAILED TO ME. ANOTHER 2 MONTHS PASSED AND NO CALLS OR LETTERS FROM GM OR THE DEALERSHIP. I WENT IN DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN "OFFICIAL" AUTHORIZATION FROM GM TO START THE CLAIM PROCESS. I FEEL AS IF GM AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE NOT WORKING ON THIS MATTER TO THE FULLEST OR EVEN ANY EFFORT TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION. IT'S FUNNY YET SAD THAT MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE HDM IN ROUGHLY 5 DAY OR SO, WHICH BY THE WAY, IS STILL PERFORMING PERFECTLY FINE. YET THIS MAJOR AUTO COMPANY(GM) CANT RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE HDM PART. REALLY?! SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE A CLOSER INTO THIS SITUATION. I ,PERSONALLY, FEEL AS IF GM AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE TRYING TO TURN AWAY FROM THIS "MAJOR" PROBLEM SO MANY ARE EFFECTED BY.(UPDATE-MRS ALLAI PASSED AWAY 11/2015. I AM HER SON)

SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING MY ICON FOR THE AIRBAGS IS ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH, WHICH I SUPPOSE MEANS THAT MY AIR BAGS ARE NOT ACTIVATED. WHEN I WENT TO ANDY MOHR BUICK IN FISHERS, IN. 46038, I QUESTIONED THEM ABOUT IT. AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING IT, AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO PUT IT ON THE ANALYZER AND FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG AND THAT COULD COST SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. SO I CALL GM AND THEY PAID FOR IT. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE PERSONAL BODY MODULE AND WOULD RUN AROUND $1300. I NEW ABOUT THE KEY RECALL AND THOUGHT THAT MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. SO I WAITED UNTIL BUICK FIXED MY KEY PROBLEM, BUT THE AIRBAG DID NOT GO AWAY. THEN THE NEXT (LIGHT RECALL) CAME UP, WHICH IS STILL NOT REMEDIED SO I DO NOT KNOW IF THAT IS NOT A PART OF THE PROBLEM. SINCE, I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM MY ELDERLY NEIGHBOR, SHE SAID THAT SHE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT SEVERAL TIMES TO THE BUICK DEALER, (ANDY MOHR) AND THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING. THEY TOLD HER THAT WHENEVER IT HAPPENS TO BRING THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP. WELL, WITH ALL INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS IT IS VERY HARD FOR A PERSON TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHILE IT IS HAPPENING. AND ALL OF THESE DIAGNOSTIC CHARGES ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. AND IF YOU PAY FOR A REPAIR AND THEN THERE IS A RECALL, YOU NEVER GET YOUR MONEY BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURE. READ SOME OF YOUR COMPLAINTS AND YOU WILL SEE THAT I AM RIGHT, SO THE POOR CONSUMER HAS TO WAIT AND DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE UNTIL THE SLOW WHEELS OF GOVERNMENT FINALLY MAKE THE MANUFACTURE DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM STILL WAITING 8 MONTHS FOR THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING REPAIR. DOES SOME ONE HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE WE GET ACTION.

A FEW TIMES THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT . DRIVING ON TWO LANE ROAD ONCE WAS CLOSE TO HEAD ON ACCIDENT . I DID EXTENSIVE TESTING TO FIND THAT THE HDM LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT RELAY MANUFACTURED BY I THINK DELPHI WAS THE PROBLEM . I WENT TO AUTO SUPPLY BOUGHT THE HEAVIEST DUTY RELAY I COULD FIND . I REPLACED IT AN PROBLEM WAS SOLVED . THIS WAS BACK IN MAY OF 2014 . THEN IN JANUARY 2015 I RECEIVED RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM . I HAVE CONTACTED G.M. SEVERAL TIMES . I READ WHERE THEY STATE IF YOU HAVE PAID FOR THE REPAIR THEY WILL REIMBURSE OWNER FOR THE REPAIR . THIS IS BLACK AND WHITE PLAIN AND SIMPLY . I SUBMITTED FORM , RECEIPTS , ECT . ACCORDING TO THEIR REQUIREMENT ON THE RECALL LETTER . DOES NOT SAY I HAVE TO WAIT FOR SEVERAL MORE LETTERS OR SEVERAL YEARS IT IS ON THEIR RECALL LETTER .EVERYTHING THEY ASKED FOR TO THE STANDARDS . WHILE ON VACATION MESSAGE TO CALL . AFTER MANY CALLS AGAIN I WAS TOLD I HAVE TO WAIT FOR SECOND RECALL LETTER TO GET REIMBURSED . SHE STATED I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO DEALER . WHY SO I CAN HAVE ANOTHER DEFECTIVE RELAY INSTALLED . NOT GOING TO HAPPEN JUST REIMBURSE ME FOR THE CLAIM I SUBMITTED . I CAN'T RETURN A ONE YEAR OLD RELAY THAT IS FAR BETTER THAN THEIR DEFECTIVE RELAY .THEY CAN'T FIGURE A REMEDY OUT YET . IT HAS BEEN A YEAR NOW AND I AM STILL WAITING TO BE REIMBURSED BECAUSE I DID NOT RECEIVE THE SECOND RECALL NOTIFICATION BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIGURE THIS OUT . DRIVING A CAR AT NIGHT WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS IS NOT SAFE AND NEITHER IS PUTTING ONE OF THEIR DEFECTIVE RELAYS BACK IN IT .

ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2007 BUICK LACROSSE CXL. POWER STEERING PUMP FAILURE AT AROUND 85,000 MILES. POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED BECAUSE OF LEAKING HOSES. PRIMARY REASON FOR LEAK IS DUE TO LINES INCORRECTLY CRIMPED AROUND THE METAL LINE THAT ADHERES TO RUBBER HOSE. LINES CANNOT WITHSTAND PRESSURE AND START LEAKING INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL THEY COMPLETELY FAIL. I HAVE REPLACED POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK AND PINION DUE TO FAULTY LINES DAMAGING THE WHOLE SYSTEM. I HAVE SEEN MANY INSTANCES ONLINE ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING TO REPLACE A COUPLE MONTHS LATER AFTER INITIAL REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT OF POWER STEERING LINES THAT ARE OUT ON THE MARKET. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE CLUNKING SOUND THAT IS COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. *TR

MY LOW-BEAM HEADLAMPS WENT OUT ON JANUARY 9, 2015, WHICH I WAS NOT AWARE OF UNTIL A POLICE OFFICER PULLED ME OVER INDICATING TO ME THAT I HAD NO HEADLIGHTS. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON. I HAD TO LEAVE WORK EARLY ALL LAST WEEK IN ORDER TO GET HOME BEFORE DARK. I WENT ON LINE YESTERDAY AND TYPED IN MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY TYPE OF VEHICLE FOR THE HEADLAMPS. CONTACTED BUICK AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY CAN NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM YET BECAUSE THERE IS NO "OFFICIAL" RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGER WHEN SOMEONE'S HEADLIGHTS GO OUT ALL OF THE SUDDEN WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT; THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHICH COULD INVOLVE LIVES. THEY INFORMED ME I HAVE TO WAIT TO GET THE "OFFICIAL" NOTICE BEFORE THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM OR I CAN BRING IN MY VEHICLE AND HAVE IT LOOKED AND FIXED AT MY EXPENSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE ASAP BY BUICK AT THEIR EXPENSE, NOT THE EXPENSE OF THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE INFORMING THEM THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS ALREADY OCCURRED? PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND LET ME KNOW HOW SOON CAN I GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. THANK YOU. *TR

WHO ARE WE KIDDING WITH THIS RECALL? (NHTSA 14V355, GM 14299) CORRECTING A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WITH AN EXTRA KEY RING AND A PAPER TO ADD TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL IS A LAWYER'S SOLUTION. IS THIS A DESIGN DEFECT, OR IS IT NOT? WHY IS IT NOT ADEQUATE? 1) IT DOES NOT INSURE THAT THE WEIGHT OF THE KEYS WILL NOT CAUSE SHUTDOWN. IT ONLY MAKES IT A LITTLE LESS LIKELY. 2) IN A YEAR'S TIME, EVEN THE CURRENT OWNER'S WILL HAVE FORGOTTEN THE SOLUTION. EVEN IF IT'S IN THE CAR'S MANUAL, DOES ANYONE EVER ACTUALLY READ THE MANUAL END-TO-END?. LET ALONE REREADING IT REGULARLY TO REFRESH THEIR KNOWLEDGE? IT'S ONLY THERE, IF AT ALL, FOR REFERENCE. 3) HOW MANY SECOND OWNER'S EVEN GET THE MANUAL? HOW MANY WILL GET KEYSETS WITH THE EXTRA RING? MY EXPERIENCE IS FEW, IF ANY, SUBSEQUENT OWNERS WILL HAVE ANY REMINDER OF THIS RECALL. LET'S GET SERIOUS AND BE RESPONSIBLE. IF THERE IS A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING SAFETY DEFECT, THEN FIX IT! DEFLECTING LIABILITY TO THE OWNER IS HORSE-PUCKY! *TR

THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT FIX IT. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE IN 2009 AND HAD COMPLAINED OF LEAKING SEAL ON THE TOP EDGE OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IN THE RAIN. WATER WOULD DRIP ALL OVER MY LEFT ARM, SHOULDER AND ARM REST. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT FIX IT. NOW THE HEADLIGHTS WILL REFUSE TO WORK ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT FIX IT. THE DASH READS HEADLIGHTS SUGGESTED BUT THEY WILL NOT COME ON. I CAN USE THE DIMMER ON THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE BRIGHT LIGHTS WILL WORK, BUT DRIVING WITH BRIGHT LIGHTS INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS. I NEED TO HAVE A DEALER FIX THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR THROUGH A CAR WASH FOR THE FIRST TIME THE OTHER DAY AND THE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ACTING UP AGAIN. PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE CONTACT ME AND AUTHORIZE REPAIRS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE EVEN A SHORT DISTANCE AT NIGHT NOT KNOWING WHEN MY HEADLIGHTS WILL SUDDENLY GO OUT AGAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW.

I OWN A 2007 BUICK LACROSSE CXL. IT HAS HAD A VIBRATION IN IT SINCE IT WAS DELIVERED. I DROVE IT UNTIL IT HAD 2,300 MILES ON IT TO SEE IF THE TIRES WOULD EVEN OUT, BUT THEY DID NOT, SO I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THE DEALER BALANCED THE WHEELS . THE VIBRATION WAS LESSENED, BUT STILL THERE. I ADDED AIR TO ALL THE TIRES TO A PRESSURE OF 30PSI COLD AND THIS HELPED BUT DID NOT ELIMINATE THE VIBRATION WHICH SEEMS TO BE IN THE REAR TIRES. I PUT MY CONCERNS ON THE DEALER PERFORMANCE FORM AND WAS CONTACTED BY A BUICK REPRESENTATIVE WHO ASSIGNED ME A CONFIRMATION NUMBER AND SAID THE CONCERN WOULD BE LOOKED AT BY BUICK, BUT HE COULD OFFER LITTLE IN THE WAY OF REMEDY. I CURRENTLY HAVE 2,900 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

BRAKES PULSATE WHEN BRAKING. CAR VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO HAS A DESIRE TO PULL TO RIGHT. FEELS LIKES WHEELS ARE OUT OF BALANCE ALL THE TIME. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN AND HAD THE BALANCE CHECKED AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS FINE. THEY SAY IT IS THE MAKE OF THE TIRES AND GOODYEAR IS AWARE - THEY HAVE MADE A GOODWILL REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRES DUE TO HISTORY OF MY CAR.... THE ENGINE BLEW AT 1500 MILES!!! STILL NO BETTER. EVERY DAY I GET MY FILLINGS RATTLED LOOSE ON THE WAY TO WORK. THE PULL TO THE RIGHT WAS FIXED WHEN THE REPLACED THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT - BUT I HAD TO GO BACK BECAUSE THE DEALER DID NOT DO FRONT END ALIGNMENT AFTER REPLACING THE STEERING SHAFT "NOT NECESSARY - IT'S NOT THE STANDARD PRACTICE WITH THE JOB" WHEN THEY FINALLY PUT IN ON THE MACHINE, IT WAS OUT OF TOE BY .18 DEGREES. I AM STILL WORKING ON GETTING THE BRAKES FIXED. LAST TIME THEY TURNED THEM DUE TO "HARD SPOTS". WHEN I GO BACK FOR THE INSPECTION IN NOV. I HAVE TO HAVE THEM WORK ON THEM AGAIN. THIS TIME I WILL FIGHT TO HAVE THE ROTORS REPLACED AS I AM TERRIFIED THAT I WON'T STOP WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKES BECAUSE THE PULSATING HAS GOTTEN THAT BAD. *TR
