The battery repeatedly discharged and became flat when the vehicle was left unused for several days. This has occurred 4 times to date December 14th 2023 November 12th 2024 December 17th 2025 March 23rd 2026 Each time Buick replaces the battery, they blame something else. They did send an engineer to review it on April 22nd, 2026, and he confirmed that everything was fine. I unfortunately have no confidence that is the case. There is no warning; the vehicle will be left for three days or more without being turned on, and the vehicle will be dead. The vehicle is also experiencing issues with power going out on the dashboard intermittently.

I purchased this vehicle on [XXX]. Dealership was: PM AUTO GALLERY, LLC. This vehicle had a salvaged title due to an accident several months earlier. Pablo Mazlumian is the proprietor & owner.

On July 23, 2026, the transmission failed. I was driving for a weekend getaway (4.5 hrs from my home) and the transmission jerked extremely hard three times and I lost control of the car. I was driving through the mountains at 8pm. The RPM was in the red zone, even though my speed was fairly low. The car would not go into Park or Reverse. I took the car to HONOR GMC for diagnostic and they told me it cost $249 for the basic check. After the basic check, and not finding the solution, it would be an additional $2500 to drop the transmission for further inspection. Prior to this, there was no indication/warning light that the transmission was failing on a 3 year old car. The transmissio

Onstar module out. Car can not be detected of location. Can not use gps. In the event of accident onstar can not help me this is a safety problem for a woman especially. When it first went out the car would not cut completely off had to disconnect battery. The gps light stays on with a line through it. Can’t use blue onstar button it’s completely out. Dealership says module needs to be changed. It has also affected other components of the car. I see this is a wide range problem. Dealer sell this as a safety component in the car but when asked about a recall they now want to state its its luxury.
