I was driving my 2015 verano on the highway going about 75 MPH in the fast lane. My car just turn completely off like I had ran out of gas, but I had 3/4 of a tank of gas. It was very scary I had a 18 Wheeler driving behind me blowing his horn thank God I was going down hill. I took my car back to the dealer. They did do a free analysis in my car no codes came back. I was told that nothing is wrong with my car. I told them I didn't feel comfortable in my car. They offer to trade my car in with a $7000 depreciation. Which I just bought 7 months ago. I left there feeling like money was way important then my life.

2015 Verano

I am pleased with the performance of my Verano but have discovered an annoying sound that the dealer says is normal operation. Every time I open a car door a sound is activated. I've been told this is the emergency brake activator. I find it hard to believe this is normal and would like anyone else's comments if you've had a similar occurrence.

I Brought A Brand New Lemon

I brought my car from Faulkner Buick in 2015 brand new. These last 3 years were great I had zero complaints except I wished it went faster on take off. Well this past summer starting in May I have had nothing but major problems from this car. Yes I do have high mileage (130000) but I have another car at my home with more miles and I have NEVER had major issues out of that car. Now this Buick is driving me insane!! First I needed a catalytic converter, that was about $5-600, then I needed a camshaft; a belt and timing sensor(I don't know the exact name of these last 2) this was all about $6-700. I get the camshaft+belt+timing thing replaced and pick my car up on a Tuesday in July by Thursday of that same week my car completely stops moving on me while I was on the road. With zero warning the car stopped on me mid drive. I had it towed back to Faulkner where a day later they told me the check engine light was for the transmission. I don't know of any car quitting on someone like this and having a transmission issue. I now am trying to have the transmission replaced but I have been waiting due to the transmissions being on back order. Someone at the dealership said buick was remodeling the transmissions for this particular car (I cant remember the exact word she used) but to me it seems as if this car should have a recall if people are having transmissions just quit on them like this. Yes I have heard of others with this same car having a similar issue. So in a nutshell this car will eventually need a new trans, save your money do not buy this vehicle. You may want to skip buick all together. Due to my high mileage I can't get a coupon or discount on the service nor can I get a courtesy vehicle to use(they claim to not have any although I saw one yesterday) so I'm just stuck with a $3000 bill and no way to get from A to B. Its so sad because I really loved my car but now I currently I have no car, I wished I listened and brought a foreign car :( Update: I keep having random expensive issues the latest has been the blower needing to be replaced. Cost about 800. Its now 5 years old. I've put alot of money into the car because I'm on payments. It will be paid off next year, thank goodness. I can stack those payments for any future repairs I may need. I don't want another buick after all the money I spent. I really was hoping to upgrade to an Enclave but I'm scared as hell that I'll end up in the same situation. Everyone i talk to about my car they have never had such major problems so early in a cars life. So I've come to the conclusion I just have a badly built model. I love my cheap luxury car I wish it would stop breaking down on me but I know it's not. In fact I have to get the gear shift replaced. Its been telling me to put it in park(although I'll be parked), the button I push inorder to move the stick has fallen out. So thats my next expensive project. Wish my pockets luck that I can afford this replacement.

Awesome baby Buick

I find my Buick Verano to be a very comfortable great beautiful car. I call it my baby Buick bc I had the Buick Lucerne but it was wonderful but too large to turn and handle for a little old lady. The Verano is so maneuverable and comfortable and easy. I’m in love with it, no problems with it over 100,000.
