What 101 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Buick Verano

MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. I AM HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR. ELECTRICAL, LIGHTS, THE AIR SYSTEM.

THE SIDE DETECTION MONITOR KEPT SAYING NEEDED TO BE SERVICE, THEN IT PROGRESSED TO IT NOT TURNING OFF, AND NOW ALL OF THE GAUGES ON MY DASHBOARD STATES THAT IT NEEDS TO BE SERVICED: AIRBAG, THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM, AND THE TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM. IN ADDITION THE HEAT WILL TURN ON AND OFF AND SO IS THE RADIO.

I'VE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE A YEAR SOME CHANGE. PARKING BREAK LIGHT COMES WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND GOES AWAY ONCE I PUT IT DRIVE OR REVERSE. POWER STEERING LOCKS ON ME WHEN TURNING ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS SO DANGEROUS. ALSO SO MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPUTER IN THE VEHICLE THAT CAUSE THE DOOR TO LOCK AND UNLOCK ON ITS OWN WHEN I TRY TO PUT ON MY FOG LIGHTS THE ENGINE MAY REV UP

A WARNING THAT SAYS "SERVICE STABILI TRAK" APPEARS AT THE SAME TIME IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS GRABBING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTROL SCREEN WHERE THE RADIO IS BLACKS OUT COMPLETELY ALSO. IT LASTS FROM A SPLIT SECOND TO SEVERAL SECONDS BUT IT RENDERS THE DRIVER HELPLESS TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, TURNING, BRIGHTENING HEADLIGHTS, USING ELECTRONIC WINDOW BUTTONS...OR JUST WHILE DRIVING AND USING NOTHING ELSE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TWICE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAY THAT THEY HAVE UPDATED MODULES AND CHANGED THE POWER STEERING MOTOR BUT IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE NOT THAN BEFORE.

THE RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON, A STABILITRAK WARNING SOMETIMES COMES ON, THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND THE CAR TURNS OFF WHICH THEN LOCKS THE STEERING AND THEN THE CAR WILL TURN BACK ON BY ITSELF. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN DRIVING IN TOWN, ON THE HIGHWAY, TURNING, AT ANY SPEED, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE GAS TANK IS FULL/LOW, WITH AND WITHOUT ANY ACCESSORIES PLUGGED IN, AND REGARDLESS OF THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. THIS ISSUE MAKES THE CAR VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND IT IS SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS 8/3/18.

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE JANUARY 2015. AT THIS TIME I NOW HAVE 73000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING THE WRENCH AND LIGHTENING BOLT FLASHES ON AND OFF REALLY FAST MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK. IT ONLY LASTS A FEW SECONDS BUT NOW IT KEEPS DOING IT AND IM SCARED IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL BUICK DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NO CODES WERE FOUND, BUT MY BATTERY TEST FAILED SO I PAID FOR A BATTERY REPLACEMENT. HOWEVER THE BATTERY THAT WAS REPLACED WAS ONLY A YEAR OLD! EVEN WITH THE BATTERY REPLACED IT STILL HAPPENS AND WE CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY. WHAT WOULD CAUSE A BATTERY TO FAIL IN A YEARS TIME? WHAT WOULD CAUSE THAT SPECIFIC LIGHT TO FLICKER AND THE CAR BEGAN JERKING. NO CODES ARE SHOWING UP ON THEIR SYSTEM SO THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY IT IS HAPPENING. AND OF COURSE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN THEY DRIVE IT FOR A BIT, BUT IT HAPPENS WHEN I DRIVE SO THEY CANNOT SEE WHAT IT IS DOING.
