Lemon Law Blog

We are getting calls on the 1800 LEMON LAW hotline from quite a few Buick LaCrosse drivers with steering problems.  It appears that consumers are suffering from noise in their  steering or front end , which can be verified by General Motors but cannot be fixed.  At this point, GM service personnel are telling consumers that they are aware of the problem, but they do not have a solution at this tme.

If you are experiencing a problem similar to this, make an appointment with the service personnel at your local Buck dealer as soon as possible.  See if the service department can verify the noise and perhaps diagnose it.  If the dealer tells you a fix is not available, you must get their stance in writing.  We still encourage you to contact another Buck dealer to get a second opinion.  It sometimes helps to have a fresh pair of eyes examining the situation.

If you are suffering with the LaCrosse steering situation and are not getting the help needed to fix the problem, give us a call at 1800 LEMON LAW (1-800-536-6652) or e-mail us a brief synopsis of your situation.  We will be glad to go over your issue with you to determine if/how we can help.

It’s this weird oily substance that seems to pop out of nowhere and its affecting people’s visibility on the roads….no it’s not the blob.  It appears to be a windshield film problem occurring in hundreds of Subaru Impreza vehicles.

At first glance, service managers may give Impreza owners a look when they complain about the filmy buildup, but the manufacturer has issued a technical service bulletin, and we have resolved several cases in our office dealing with the situation.  We have heard a variety of excuses for the problem, and in most cases service managers are cleaning the affected areas.  This clean up provides little or no relief with the film coming back anywhere from 2-4 weeks later.

If you are experiencing this problem, please call us at 1 800 LEMON LAW (1-800-536-6652) or fill out our Get Rid Of Your Lemon Worksheet and we will be glad to discuss your situaiton with you and provide advice on how we can help.

This week alone, we have received several calls on the 1 800 LEMON LAW hotline from distressed Chevrolet Uplander drivers who are experiencing difficulties with their sliding doors. This is an issue we have routinely handled throughout the last few years.  In fact, the Pittsburgh NBC affiliate reported on one of our clients back in 2007.

Folks have complained of the buzzer going off for no reason, doors not locking correctly and even instances where the door opens while driving.  THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY.  Some service managers have blamed the problem on debris affecting the sensors, but if the problem persists, you need to take action.

If you have been back to the shop three or more times with a sliding door problem, or if you have been back once on a relatively new vehicle and the problem is still present, call us at 1 800 LEMON LAW or e-mail us to discuss your rights under State and Federal Laws.  If we can help, it is completely cost-free.
