We bought a buick rainier 2006 and it has had nothing but electrical, door problems and door handle problems. It has a faulty back window wiper. Suspension issues and a voting under body carriage. I bought it from a dealer and none of these recall issues where taken care of, and these recalls date back to 2015 I bought the rainer in march 2018.

Passenger door panel caught on fire when the care wasn't used for over 15 hours. The window and door locks weren't working on that side and the window was up prior to the fire. The fire caused the window to drop down and a passing tow truck thankfully saw the flames.

Power door locks and window locks are inoperative. Have lost all power in the door locks and windows as well as the radio and the heater. I was trapped in my car this morning for about 5 minutes with the windows up and the heater was blowing out hot air. I was unable to stop that as I couldn't turn off the car or open the doors, I pried the door lock open and was able to get out of the car.

I bought my 2006 buick rainier in march of 2011 and about 3 months later the right rear passenger door handle broke because it is plastic and can't be opened from the outside. Then a week later the child lock decided to lock itself on the same door and now the door can't be opened from either the inside or outside. Then about 6 months later the front passenger door handle broke and now it won't open from the outside and I have to reach clear across the truck to open the door for any passengers to get in on that side. This last weekend the left back passenger door is now broke and can't be opened from the outside and is self locking the child safety lock now on this door as it did on the other back passenger door. Luckily I got the door opened just once to unlock the child safety lock on this door and so it is still able to open for now from the inside until it locks its self again. Once it locks it's self again I won't be able to get the door open again to unlock the child safety lock cause the door no longer opens from the outside. At this point I have one door left that functions properly and that is the drivers door if that handle breaks I won't be able to open any of my doors from the outside and will only be able to open the two front doors from the inside. Who makes plastic door handles anyway what a stupid design for a car part that is used many times throughout the course of one day let alone for the life of the vehicle. I don't know if it is a safety issue but my daughter can't get in or out of the back passenger doors and has to crawl up through to the front seats and get out through the drivers door. I can't believe I have a fairly new car and can't properly use 3 doors on it. I too have issues with my gas gauge and will be taking it in to have fixed very soon.
