The said vehicle was being serviced at loganville auto center. When I went to pick it up on february 9, 2024, the mechanic came out and showed me that two of the tubes were leaking and this would become a serious problem. He gave a recall sheet issued on december 13, 2023 that there was a recall involving our car for this very same issue. I called gm the next day and they stated that our car didn't come out of the barn they were recalling. I explained to them it was already happening to our car and the person stated that our VIN number may be added later. I called on april 8th and they stated it had not been added to the recall list. This car onbly has 61,230 miles on it. This is a serious issue and it should be covered under this recall because they know that is more widespread than what VIN numbers they have included.

The car continues to have serious engine issues. I keep getting a service Stability track and Engine Power Reduced warning. It has happened to me on the expressway and the car will not accelerate past 20 miles per hour. I had the car repaired on October of last year (3 months ago) and the issue persists. I decided to research online and this seems to be a major issue going on with Buicks. It sounds like GM has done nothing to remedy the malfunction. Many people state that even the dealers can seem to fix the issues and have no clue as to why this happens. This is a serious and life threatening mechanical failure that needs to be addressed.

The worst can have it do this at least three times. Once, I did notice an alert message appears on my console that disappeared as soon as it happened. This instances appear not to be as bad, since I had the battery replaced (Shortly after this issue appeared, the battery went from being a "good" battery, to a dead one.
