I had a similar problem with my 05 Terraza. After a couple repairs at the shop, they figured out solution that has stopped the problem for me. On mine, they sanded the gold colored plate where the sliding door's contact sensors touch. That has corrected the problem with my van. Read More...

AM Static, 2005 Terraza

Written by: xs11e on Jun 01, 2008 05:03 PM

I have really bad static on AM stations on my 2005 Buick Terraza, FM and CD and XM seem to be OK. Unfortunately, I almost always listen to AM radio because they broadcast the Arizona Diamondback games! Anyone have a similar problem or know how to fix it? Is it possible that GM left out all the filters so people would subscribe to XM radio? ;-) Read More...

I own a 2006 Saturn Relay 3 and the only problem I've had is that intermittenly the Power door (right side) will close, then open slightly and close again like it was reseating or trying to relock... But, other than that, no problems. And, that only happens once or twice a month, maybe. I bought it in October of 2006, and have 28,000 miles on it. Mark Read More...

I think they are the same vans? We actually really liked ours, had the backup helpers, dvd player, roomy. The mileage was good, I just got a bad feeling from it . Also had a 0% loan which made it even harder to trade, but we used it to (very occasionaly) pull our small boat and that made me even more nervous. I wanted to lease another but they stoped making the saturn version ... Read More...

Thanks. I still have over 20K miles left on a 5 year, 60K, 0 deductible warranty, so I'll keep taking it back until they fix. I believe there might be a TSB on this, just need to research it. Have had it for over 2 years and love all the bells and whistles so no plan on trading it in. I've put 40K on it and the gas mileage is surprisingly good for its size. I knew someone that ...

Our Saturn Relay had the same issue, I think they fixed it and charged me like 200$, and when we were on vacation with some friends of ours that had an 8 year old odyseus and there doors still worked that was what made me decide to trade the saturn. Read More...

2005 Buick Terraza Automatic Door problems

Written by: stobar on Mar 27, 2008 05:02 PM

My 2005 Buick Terraza has been having problems with the passenger side automatic door. Every once in awhile, the passenger side automatic door will close, but not fully latch, then open back up. It will not latch completely. I took it in to have it looked at and got the standard "could not duplicate problem". Is there a TSB on this or can someone steer me in the right ... Read More...

I turned in my 2005 Terraza for a 2008 Enclave. The Terraza was the nicest car we've ever owned in over 50 years of driving. It was leased and had 35,200 miles on it. We had a great service/dealer who took great pains to always properly service it. The service department is the key to keeping a car running great. Stay in good with the Service Manager...not the service ... Read More...
