THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATED AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON (INDICATES ABS NEEDS TO BE SERVICED) ALSO TRANSMISSION "SLIPS" WHEN MOVING FORWARD.

THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK SHUT- THEY COME FORWARD AND POP OUT AND REOPEN. MUST OPERATE MANUALLY. *TR

This vehicle has significant rust damage on the frame located on the driver's side of the vehicle the rust has gone through the frame causing it to be unsafe.

THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS WON'T CLOSE. IT OPENS UP AGAIN WHEN THE CLOSING SLIDE DOOR TOUCHES THE FRAME. THIS HAPPENS EVERY A FEW DAYS!! VERY FRUSTRATING. AND I SAW THERE ARE 4 OR 5 SIMILAR COMPLIANT REPORTS ON THIS ALREADY. SO LOOKS LIKE IT DOES HAPPENS ON A NUMBER OF VEHICLES ALREADY, NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. *TR

ON MAY 2, 2013, ABOUT 10AM, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME. THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY OUT OF CONTROL AND MY CAR HIT ON A CAR PARK ON THE STREET SIDE WITH NONE INSIDE. MY CAR HAD SEVERE DAMAGE AND COST ABOUT $10,000.00 TO FIX. THE OTHER CAR I HIT ON HAD MEDIUM DAMAGE. THE AIR BAG POP OUT WITH A LOT OF DUST AND IT WAS FLAT. A LOT DUST BLOW ON MY FACE. THE AIR BAG HAD NO AIR AT ALL. IT WAS ALL FLAT. THE STEERING WHEEL HAD BEEN KIND OF TIGHT AND DIFFICULT TO TURN FOR THREE YEARS. I THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE BIG VEHICLE , SO I HAD NOT BROUGHT ATTENTION TO THE DEALER. I REQUEST THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE 2006 BUICK TERRAZA'S STEERING SYSTEM. I AM SURE THAT SOMETHING IS NOT QUITE RIGHT IN THE STEERING DESIGN AND MANUFACTURER. *TR
