All 4 windows in the vehicle go down when the driver and key fob are no where near the car. Only 1 time has this happened while the driver and key fob have been in the car and the driver was not touching the fob. In this case the driver put up the windows, opened the door, during which the windows went back down. All other instances the windows went down in various locations with no commonality (my parent's house while we went shopping, the gym, walmart.) this has occurred i believe 6 times over 3 months. The vehicle was purchased april 2017 and has under 11,000 miles. Twice this has occurred and during or immediately following a rainstorm. Once causing extremely soaked seats and i don't know how the inside electronics, such as radio and gps were not ruined. The first time my car was loaded with over $500 in toys and thankfully none stolen.

On september 10, 2016, i ordered the vehicle with the dealership with high expectations on a new vehicle.

Gears of transmission abrupt and hard constantly flashing some kind of service transmission jerks on auto stop been having problems since i got it starting at about 10000 miles now has 48000 miles
I have had my car in shop at least 10 times for the same reason and it never ends. They keep changing or doing something to the gear shifter. It keeps saying service transmission now it saying all kinds of warnings about steering exceeding speed track something plus service transmission won't shift soon etc it's ridiculous to pay this much for a car and have it in the shop this many times in 2 years it's in there again now and problem still isn't fixed

Purchased vehicle july 25, 2020. Took the car for its first oil change, in october. On nov 23, 2020, the car engine light came on while driving on the highway. Error code: p0430 "catalyst system low efficiency bank 2". On nov 24, 2020, i took the car to "rick mathews gmc/buick dealership" for diagnostic and repair. They placed an order for the parts needed for repair and told me, that my car was drivable. On dec 4, 2020, i was having problems with driving on a city street with the car shaking, i was scared to take the highway but that was my only way home, and the loud engine noise and shaking continued. On dec 7, 2020, i took my car back to the dealership and they told me my car was inoperable because the catalytic converter had cracked and the parts were still not available to complete repairs. That day they provided a rental/loaner vehicle for me to drive to work until the car was repaired. On jan 13, 2021, i had to swap out vehicles because the part was still not available to complete repairs. It is now feb 26, 2021, and the dealership has told me that my car is finally being repaired. This entire time, i have continued to pay for the monthly cost of my personal car loan while not being able to drive it. I only got to drive my car 4 months before it was stuck in the shop and i still continue to pay for my personal car monthly. The dealership is now asking me to pay a "rental" fee for the use of their vehicle, and it has taken 3 months to finally repair my vehicle, all because the manufacturer gmc/buick was out of stock of a 2017 car part. I have tried to resolve this with the manufacturer and have a case# (sr:9-6454995176). I've been in contact with them and the dealership since dec 7, 2020.

I have no idea whether this concerns the takata inflators or not.while accelerating from a normal traffic speed (approximately 20 to 40mph) , it seems like the transmission shifts up and down rapidly several times between lower gears.if the acceleration is terminated by by lifting your foot from the accelerator, the shifting goes away.after that, a soft pressure on the accelerator will allow the vehicle to accelerate without further unwanted shifting.this is a reoccurring problem.
I purchased my vehicle in june of 2018. The car drove beautifully for about 14000 miles. Then i started noticing harsh shifts at lower speeds, shifted fine on the highway. This continued on and i just thought it was normal wear. Then about 2 months after the harsh shifting started i was getting on the highway and accelerating up to speed. I then let off my gas pedal and the car stuck in gear. I tried slowing down and speeding up and the car would not shift. I had to pull over shut the car off and turn it back on during rush hour. This happened again about a month later, so i called to make an appointment at the dealer. Took my car in and the service tech asked me to ride with and show him what it is doing. So i drove the tech around about a half hour. On the way back in traffic at about 35 mph the car stuck in gear again with the tech in the car. They had the car a week and cud not replicate the issue again. They talked about reprogramming my ans but since no reported problems they could not do it. I have had the car back a month and it has happened twice again. So i will yet again make another appointment. This is very unsafe when the transmission will not shift to have to try and pull off on busy highways where there are not always safe places to do so.
Loud clunk noise during any gear change. Car does not have to be moving. I experimented this problem while shifting from park to drive, drive to reverse, reverse to park. This problem also exists shifting up and down gears. Took it to the dealer to get serviced. They flushed the transmission, reprogrammed the transmission control to no avail. The problem occurs when the engine is cold and hot

Car doors unlatched (becoming in open position [unlocked and unlatched] before it being completely open). It happened twice, ones when i was driving and the warning buzzer turned on and the instrument panel give me a message telling me the driving door is open, this is happened suddenly after driving for 10 minutes in very good local streets condition. I stopped to check the door and i was surprised to find its been unlatched to the pre open position. Second time happened when was the car parked and looked, after about 30 minutes the car horn starts beeping and the lights flashing, l got a message from onstar on my phone telling me my car doors are in open position. I went out to check the car and i found the driver side rear door is in open position (pre open position, unlocked and unlatched position, if you pull the door it will open completely). This is a safety concern

I have an issue with the cruise control on my 2017 buick lacrosse, a vehicle with 17,004 miles. While traveling on the interstate with the cruise set to 70 mph the system reset itself to 105 mph and the engine revved 3000 rpm accelerating out of control. This was the second time it happened, the other time it reset to 95 mph. Stepping on the brake pedal brought the speed back under control in both instances.i took the car to markley motors in fort collins colorado where they could not replicate the problem in their 4 mile test drive. They insinuated that i misused the resume function but in neither situation did i touch the controls. They indicated that there are no service bulletins for this problem.
