2014 Buick Verano driver assistance problems

Filed Mar 9, 2023 · Driver assistance, Electrical · WI

Blind spot warning began displaying at startup. Turn signal bell and dash illuminators failed intermittently while driving. A Google search revealed the location of blind spot radar module. Inspected right rear module (located in bumper) and found corrosion. Difficult to remove module because of swollen internals. Pried open module after removal to expose corrosion damage to radar cells. The module mount location is openly exposed to road grime and salt. This infiltrated the module and ruined it because the module cover (white panel) is too thinly sealed.

The dash warning light indicated the blind spot warning system needs service. The passenger side warning light on the side view mirror stopped working. Subsequent internet searches indicated that the bumper module has gone bad. No response from the dealership yet. Other repair shops have quoted $400 to $860 to repair. This is a safety issue.

A "Service Side Detection Error" is causing multiple electrical issues in the front dash: prevent defrost and heat from working in the middle of a Vermont winter. This prevents me from seeing where I am going. This has also caused erratic problems with any function/feature on my electric panel, and erratic errors that come and go. There is a VERY HIGH NUMBER of Buick drivers who have had this error with the SAME EXACT issues. The sensors in the back wheel wells are not water proof. They get corroded. Additionally, after the sensors are replace, Buick requires the computer be reprogrammed only through them. non-GM service centers literally cannot reprogram them. I plan to get on each forum to request all drivers with this error file reports with the federal safety agency. I don't feel enough drivers know that they should/could do this and just end up paying this repair because they are just barely out of warranty, or GM says it is not covered. I also home to start a class-action lawsuit as electric panel issues involving our heating/cooling system fans and defrost, and other random electric problems related to this are vital to a drivers safety.

My transmission is slipping. I am having so many problems since I purchased this car. Electrical, lights, the air system.

The side detection monitor kept saying needed to be service, then it progressed to it not turning off, and now all of the gauges on my dashboard states that it needs to be serviced: airbag, theft deterrent system, and the tire monitor system. In addition the heat will turn on and off and so is the radio.

I've only had the vehicle a year some change. Parking break light comes when I turn the car off and goes away once I put it drive or reverse. Power steering locks on me when turning especially on the highway which is so dangerous. Also so many electrical problems with the computer in the vehicle that cause the door to lock and unlock on its own when I try to put on my fog lights the engine may rev up

A warning that says "service stabili trak" appears at the same time it feels like someone is grabbing the steering wheel. The control screen where the radio is blacks out completely also. It lasts from a split second to several seconds but it renders the driver helpless to control the vehicle. This happens while driving straight, turning, brightening headlights, using electronic window buttons...or just while driving and using nothing else. I have taken it twice to the dealership where I bought it and they say that they have updated modules and changed the power steering motor but it seems to be worse not than before.

The radio turns off and on, a stabilitrak warning sometimes comes on, the vehicle loses power and the car turns off which then locks the steering and then the car will turn back on by itself. This happens intermittently when driving in town, on the highway, turning, at any speed, regardless of whether the gas tank is full/low, with and without any accessories plugged in, and regardless of the outside temperature. This issue makes the car very unsafe to drive and it is scary when this happens. First occurrence was 8/3/18.
