Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Every time the car auto stops and turns back on the steering locks. So when the car starts you can’t turn the wheel. Also, while driving the car will lock and radio will shut off/ turn on. This happens like 1 to 2x a week. It is available for inspection. It could be very dangerous for me and others for needing to turning into places or even turning down the road. It hasn’t been confirmed or inspected, yet. There is only one warning lamp that flashes on for a split second, it’s no t/c. It just started flashing 3/26/23 not prior to incidents.
While we were merging onto the highway, the steering wheel locked! I was going 50 MPH and I couldn't move the steering wheel left or right. We almost got into an accident, but I pulled my hardest on the wheel and was able to pull over. I shut off the car and turned it back on and it was OK, but under the wrong circumstances, this could've ended up real bad. Are there similar complaints on this vehicle?
My Buick Envision started to occasionally create notable vibration in the front and traveling into the steering column. I brought the car to a GMC Buick dealership in Amite, LA(4/13/21) it was there for 3 days. The problem couldn't be duplicated. Next the car was brought to Royal Buick, Baton Rouge, LA(10/26-11/6/21.Having trouble controlling the car on each occurs.
LOSS OF POWER STEERING FOR @ 5 MINUTES UNTIL STOPPED AT RED LIGHT, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND TURNED IT BACK ON, IT WAS WORKING. HOWEVER, JUST DROVE 2 MINUTES TO EMPLOYMENT PARKING LOT. NOT ENOUGH TIME TO SEE IF IT MALFUNCTIONING, WILL NOTICE DRIVING BACK HOME.
