Is the failure rate of the Buick Verano 15s very high?
1 Answers
Buick Verano 15s has a relatively high failure rate, mainly due to transmission issues and fractures in the split-type lower control arm. Below are the detailed descriptions: Transmission problems: Among the latest quality issues reported for the Verano, a significant portion involves transmission failures. Based on real feedback from owners, most problems are concentrated in the Verano's dual-clutch transmission. It's not just the Verano; other Buick models like the Excelle, older Regal, and LaCrosse also suffer from transmission defects. Many consumers experience issues such as transmission noise, jerking, and eventually complete loss of power shortly after the warranty expires, leading to high repair costs. Despite numerous owner complaints, SAIC-GM has not acknowledged the product defects and has yet to provide a satisfactory solution. Split-type lower control arm fracture issue: The fracture issue with the Verano's split-type lower control arm has also raised concerns among many owners. The Verano uses the same split-type control arm bushing as the Envision under the GM brand. SAIC-GM's patent documents from as early as August 2015 already indicated that the split-type control arm bushing connection is unstable and poses safety risks. However, the company has turned a blind eye to hundreds of incidents nationwide involving broken axles and vehicle collapses caused by the split-type control arm bushing.
