Front sensor in camera for forward collision warning kept going off. We think the inside cap came loose and was obstructing the sensor. We went to the Buick dealership and my wife was told we needed to purchase an extended warranty for a car that had a 4/50k and was still under the 50k and 4 years. I brought it to Clark Cadillac in Pinehurst where we have purchased multiple cars and they did the assessment. We will be buying the extended warranty from Clark this month for the Buick for 4/48 which cover it til 100k.

Radio continues to reset randomly. Occasionally, will get in the car in the morning and find that the tuner has reset itself to the lowest frequency on the FM band.

Informed dealer, who advised that, at next regular service, they would replace the entire unit. Problem has not recurred since then.
