About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Hankook optimo H727 tires were installed all the way around in mid 2012. After about 15,000 miles, the car began to wobble/vibrate noticeably at speeds over about 45 mph. Tires had been regularly rotated, and that has been done on a regular basis since the wobble began. At the last rotation, the mechanic advised that the tires were "chopping" and that was causing the vibration/wobble.

Another very common defect with multiple year Buick besides the window regulators that Buick refuses to admit fault and refuses to do anything about them. This is about the dash covering pulling away from the windshield and likely cause air bag to discharge and soon will obstruct vision through the windshield. Both of these items are very costly to repair and gn/Buick has offered nothing as far as I know to anyone. I will not buy another one. I have had to replace power steering hose at 60,000 and an axle at 90,000 and a tie rod at 50,000. And they wonder why sales from Japan are booming??
