Safety Features

2015 Buick Verano 4 DR FWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2015 Buick Verano 4 DR FWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Optional
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"i own a 2015 buick verano convenience with only 28,000 miles. about a month ago i noticed the right side detection indicator on the mirror acting sporadic. coming on when there was no vehicle in my blind spot, and not coming on as it should. after noticing that, the service side detection message displayed on the center counsel. i contacted the dealer i bought the car from and they basically told me it's a very common problem because of the placement of the sensor modules in the bumper that collect water, snow, salt and causes corrosion. a very poor design for a safety feature! approximately $1,000 to fix! i did purchase an after market warranty with the vehicle, but i believe it will not cover this because they have a clause about corrosion. i decided to just turn off the feature from the setting panel and just call it a day, seeing i have been driving for 50 years and never had to rely on a side detection system to view my blind spot. now i get two messages when i start the car'side detection system is off, and service side detection system. well anyway, yesterday while i was driving, the indicator light on the right-side mirror came on, but the system was off. the light still stayed on even with the car shut off. after a while of driving and turning on and off the system from the settings, the light finally went off. why would that light come on when i manually turned off the system? do i need to pull the fuse for the side detection system? i am just afraid that this is going to create other issues with the vehicles electrical system and become a safety problem. there was a special program gm initiated in april of 2019 to fix this problem, but only for the chevy cruze. the buick verano and chevy cruze are basically the same car. is there anyway the buick verano can be added to this gm program? bulletin #n172097060 thank you!"
