TERRIBLE SUV
I hate this car its in the shop as I’m typing this this will be the 5th time thank god I bought the warranty I have had oil leaks AWD go out when it’s cold. water pump, oil cooler, 2 catalytic converter’s. I’m getting the turbo changed because they think it’s was leaking oil into the catalytic converter. Ball joints and stability bar 🙄 will never buy a Buick SUV again I’ll spend the 50k for a front runner……. I wish

WORST SUV OF ALL TIME
If you want to spend your days going back and forth to dealerships to fix the multitude of problems-- this suv is for you. Every possible thing that can go wrong will. Buick should be ashamed for making such a [non-permissible content removed] suv. I will absolutely NEVER EVER BUY A BUICK AGAIN. I bought this with under 10,000 miles and have had issues since day 1. The dealerships don't even know how to fix these awful SUVs and it typically takes 3 or more visits to get 1 issue resolved... so that you get a couple of weeks break before the next issue. LEMONS.

Blown head gasket
GARBAGE. This pile of junk blew a head gasket before 30k miles. Now the front end is shot. I’m referring to a 2014 and couldn’t be more displeased. Rattle box trash. Good job GM.
Bad Buick
I’ve owned over a dozen Buick/Oldsmobiles over the years and this is the absolute worst Buick I have ever owned. I bought it in 2017 with 36,000 miles on it and have taken it to the shop for several issues (thankfully under warranty). It’s had to have a new battery, the AWD had to have a software download because it quit working, one of the front struts went bad at 40,000 miles. It developed a coolant leak at 61,000 and needed a new turbo and water pump. The stereo has horrible sound and the Bluetooth often doesn’t work right. I have to keep trying to get it to understand who to call. Also the blind spot warning is glitchy and often stops working. The steering is too sensitive and there is a huge blind spot in the rear and a huge pedestrian hiding blind spot in the front door posts. It’s zippy to drive, but kinda gutless at 0-60. The only good things about this car is that it gets amazing gas mileage, holds a lot of junk, and is comfortable in long trips. I was hoping to be able to keep this car for five years or more, but that isn’t going to happen. I’m done with GM cars. I’m switching to Toyota.

More dissatisfied with this car
I got rid of the car, the steering wheel column had to be replaced. I had the turn the car off n on until it moved. It was costing me a fortune! I purchased a part for the passenger side roof, in front of the racks. This piece as big as a ruler cost me 31.00. I’m hoping this one doesn’t fall out! My radio jumps from aux to radio now and I don’t even have 90,000 km. on the car. I believe I bought a brand new lemon! I will never buy another Buick!
