This SUV is the devil it self. Is giving me all kind of problem right now it have a limp mode and I have no idea what to do the transmission is not working in any gear. The soft codes said p0171, p 0174, p 0420, p 0300 is crazy. I have change the alternador, the purge valve, the valve canister on top of the gas tank and the other sensor that tell you about the fumes of the tank went filling. I also change the pcv valve all the breathers hoses in the intake housing , I change the troutle body, the spark plugs, the coils, the intake gaskets, the oxigents sensors,the batery poles. And this SUV still giving me problems now it went to a transmission limp mode and is not coming out not even if you erase the codes and all fuses are good.

The throttle body on several gm vehicles has failed. I was driving my car down the highway when the traction control light started flashing, then the engine reduced power start light went on, then the car sputtered, slowed down and would not go over 30 MPH. This could cause an accident when driving at a high rate of speed, the vehicle slows down quickly and you cannot get power to move over 30. I have researched this and it is a common problem with gm vehicles.

The vehicle repeatedly stalls at random times. This includes at high speed, in the middle of the eisenhower tunnel on I-70, to driving down the street. Repeated visits to the dealership reveal no "codes" so it continues to be ignored. My wife will not drive it anymore so I do. The dealership says "trade it in" but we feel like we would be passing a coffin onto another family. My family has been killed nearly twice from stalling in tunnel and high traffic.

The engine light came on... (4) recalls for other malfunctions..., the current re-call - 10/2014 on side air bags, that was taken care of. The engine light continued to stay on ...the dealership found the problem... The gas tank...a brand new gas tank was needed. How can that be, the car is ( 6 ) years - six . The mileage ( 64,000 ).. Record shows consistent car services, good care from the initial purchase. The dealership states the cost would be $505.00. "the car could at any time stop receiving gas into the tank!!!.... The car at any time, could just stop!!!, due to a defected gas tank; assembled at a gm plant, 2008 to me, this is their/ gm responsibility. This is definitely a **safety road issue, not caused by me.... They did some sort of test; automobile was not even at the service area, when the so-called test was administered; it was then declared that the charge is mind.... I spoke to a gmbuick rep, in detroit . Mi., he sent me to dealership, dealership determines who pays. Gm transfers its responsibility to a dealership... Please advise.... Gm lacks the ability to interact with customer; no options, no customer service, no consideration, no satisfaction was given, especially; no manners... Dealership did not make the car; nor equipment...please .

While on an on-ramp to an interstate, my wife was merging into fast moving traffic. As she accelerated and merged into traffic, the vehicle lost the ability to accelerate causing the engine to rev and the vehicle to lose speed. Not only was the surprise and shock of the event to include the very high revving alarming, but the vehicle was in an unsafe situation by failing to be able to maintain proper lane position in traffic. My wife managed to coast the vehicle onto the shoulder where she waited in an extremely unsafe position for help. It was found that the transmission was the cause of the issue which required expensive repairs. There was no warning prior to the malfunction and the event could have been much worse (I.e. Crossing traffic, train tracks, etc...) at less than 70,000 miles, there shouldn't be spontaneous transmission problems which proved to be common with this vehicle.

While driving down the freeway at 70 MPH the vehicle kicked out of gear. Engine was still running. Pulled to shoulder of freeway and coasted. Once the vehicle slowed to approximately 50 MPH it engaged back into gear. Was able to drive between 55 and 60 at about 3000 RPM but transmission would not shift to higher or lower gears. Took freeway exit and came to stop. Upon turning onto adjacent road the vehicle only used 2 gears to reach a speed of 55 MPH, shifting from a low gear to a high gear at 4000 RPM.
