Power steering leaks, the gas gauge and other gauges don't work, most the electrical don't work inside the car, makes a weird noise when it backs up and the engine revs when it's starts and sometimes when it drives and goes faster even when you are not hitting the gas

Just purchased car 3 weeks ago, it caught on fire at 3 am after being parked for 6 hours.Fire department says it started at the driver side headlight wiring or switch area. Completely destroyed my engine before fire department arrived.

Buick rainier 2006, [[redacted]], I have had trouble with my suv turning off while driving many times. Also, it will not start after several attempts until it just wants to. Now, it has completely stopped starting and is sitting in a parking lot after trying to start over 5 hours, I am so upset and stranded. My vin does not appear on recall list for switch, but that is the trouble I am having. What do I do now?

Pulling out of parking lot of a medical center off of rt. # 486 In lecanto, florida...Onto a side street. Car totally died. I could not move it. I could not steer. I could not start the car back up. I had to call for towing. Repair facility said it was the ignition switch. The same thing happened a few months earlier in lecanto, florida in a carwash...Could not move forward or backward. Called for a tow. The repair facility said it was a link assembly. I am very afraid this car will stop in the middle of a...

Fuel gauge started displaying erratic gas level displays. Soon, when tank was filled, it would show empty. On one occasion it left us stranded on the interstate. I had no warning, the engine died, and I had to safely navigate from the fast lane on the far left to the shoulder on the right. Luckily, I avoided other traffic contact while doing this. I asked my mechanic and he thought it was the sensor in the tank. He said the chevy trail blazers were notorious for this. I checked carcomplaints.Com and saw...

Fuel system sensor was the first to malfunction. Then the oil gauge is malfunctioning and now air suspension and other systems are starting to not work properly. *Kb

Noises coming from under the hood; rattle, jingle, clunk; constant. Sounds like metal in a washing machine, but fine driveability and comfortable sounding highway driving. Driving in parking garage is noisy when accelerating, and quiet when coasting. Noise is quieter when ac is off. Noise is louder when accelerating, or at idle. After 30 minute drive, check engine light came on. Auto store gave codes that showed replacement of engine cooling fan clutch or ev fan motor. Less than 70k miles.

I was third in line waiting to pull out of a parking lot in peoria, az in my 2005 buick rainier. My foot was resting on the brake pedal. All of the sudden the car revved up and surged forward (from a standing start) with enough force to crash into the car in front of me and pushing that car in to the one in front of it--all three cars were severely damaged. *Tr

Design fault - air pump is mounted low on the frame of 2005 buick rainier. On 10/30/07 it failed and had to be replaced. Mileage at that time was 30,947. Pump failed again because of water intrusion. Since it is mounted low without any shield I would expect rain water to splash up as you drive. Pump was replaced a second time on 12/12/08, mileage was 39,994. The second pump only lasted 9,000 miles and gm refuses to pay for replacement ( the warranty is for 12,000 miles or 12 months, your part is 13 months old). *Tr
