HANKOOK OPTIMO H727 TIRES WERE INSTALLED ALL THE WAY AROUND IN MID 2012. AFTER ABOUT 15,000 MILES, THE CAR BEGAN TO WOBBLE/VIBRATE NOTICEABLY AT SPEEDS OVER ABOUT 45 MPH. TIRES HAD BEEN REGULARLY ROTATED, AND THAT HAS BEEN DONE ON A REGULAR BASIS SINCE THE WOBBLE BEGAN. AT THE LAST ROTATION, THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE TIRES WERE "CHOPPING" AND THAT WAS CAUSING THE VIBRATION/WOBBLE. *TR

ANOTHER VERY COMMON DEFECT WITH MULTIPLE YEAR BUICKS BESIDES THE WINDOW REGULATORS THAT BUICK REFUSES TO ADMIT FAULT AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THEM. THIS IS ABOUT THE DASH COVERING PULLING AWAY FROM THE WINDSHIELD AND LIKELY CAUSE AIR BAG TO DISCHARGE AND SOON WILL OBSTRUCT VISION THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. BOTH OF THESE ITEMS ARE VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR AND GN/BUICK HAS OFFERED NOTHING AS FAR AS I KNOW TO ANYONE. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER ONE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE POWER STEERING HOSE AT 60,000 AND AN AXLE AT 90,000 AND A TIE ROD AT 50,000. AND THEY WONDER WHY SALES FROM JAPAN ARE BOOMING?? *TR

VEHICLE DANCED SIDEWAYS WHEN IT WENT OVER BUMPS. *PH THIS WOULD OCCUR AT BOTH HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS. *SC *JB

THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WANDERED INTO OTHER LANES OF TRAFFIC AND ALSO BOUNCED. THE DEALER AGREED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT INDICATED TO THE CONSUMER THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NM *JB

THE REAR ROTORS WERE HANGING UP, MAKE NOISE, PULSATE, AND THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATES. *AK THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THE FRONT END VIBRATES, THE DOOR ASSEMBLY IS MISALIGNED, STICKS OUT, AND NOISY, THE TIRE WAS CHANGED BUT FAILED BALANCE AND THERES A VIBRATION, THE ENGINE STUMBLES/STALLS, THE INTERIOR CLOTH BY THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD IS LOOSE-3 TIMES, CAN HEAR A MOAN COMING FROM THE WINDSHIELD, THE ONSTAR ANTENNA FELL APART, THE TORSION ROD VIBRATES, THE STEERING SHUDDERS AT SLOW SPEEDS AND ON TURNS AND THE HOSE/BULLETIN # 99-02-32-007A, POWER STEERING, AND HYDRAULICS HAVE BEEN REPLACED-8 TIMES, THE A/C BLOWS HOT AIR/BULLETIN #990139-004A, AND THE VEHICLE POPS/BANGS WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND MAKING TURNS, THERES A RATTLE NOISE FROM UNDER VEHICLE/POSSIBLE EXHAUST OR AIR PUMP-CAUSE: INTERMEDIATE EXHAUST PIPE RATTLING (INTERNAL) FRONT EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO OXIDATION CATALYTIC CONVERTER-REPLACED, WHEEL ALIGNMENT (PULLS TO THE LEFT), THERE WAS A RATTLE...

WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH EXTREME VIBRATIONS OCCURS, CAUSE UNKNOWN. *AK FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK BROKE. CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A RATTLE IN THE DASH. CONSUMER ATTACHED ADMINISTRATIVE NUMBER VSS20010150 WHICH STATES THAT SOME CUSTOMERS COMMENT ON SHAKING/VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL, FLOOR, OR SEAT, IT ALSO STATES TO INSPECT MISSING BALANCE WEIGHTS, AND TIRES, POSSIBLY TIRE RELATED. *JB

WHEN DRIVING 50-70 MPH STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER 5 TIMES, REPLACED TIRES/REBALANCED WHEELS. DID NOT REMEDY PROBLEM. *AK

WHENEVER TRAVELING BETWEEN 50-70MPH VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE. VIBRATION FELT IN STEERING WHEEL, ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND FRONT SEAT. VEHICLE WAS CONTROLLABLE. EVEN WITH LESS SPEED THERE WOULD BE VIBRATIONS. HAVE BEEN TO DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 4 TIMES FOR THIS REOCCURRING PROBLEM.*AK *SLC
