problem #1

Mar 312020

Rainier LX 4.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 160,000 miles

This is not the only problem I have. I had to replace my power steering lines as they leaked so bad that it made my wheel sensors on all 4 tires go bad. I constantly have trouble with the stabilitrack. My front door handles both broke and no sooner than i got those fixed now both rear door handles are broken. My linkage broke. I constantly have to replace my head lights three on drivers side in one year. My heater fan quit working but was able to locate a switch under the dash that appeared to have almost caught fire. That part I replaced.

My doors periodically get stuck in the locked position. Especially my passenger's rear door. This problem is on going. My a/c even when charged does not and never did function properly. My drivers control panel was replaced via recall. I love the SUV but I cannot afford all this bullshit. I had to replace the motor because it threw a main bearing and it only had 160,000 on it. I am really disappointed in buick/gm.
