Cars shudders 20-30 MPH. Started last year, I needed to get my wife for cancer treatments. Basically, shifted the car manually.

I lost power steering while driving 70 mph on a two-lane highway in Wyoming. There were no warnings before the incident, but a Service Power Steering light came on at the same time it quit working. One mechanic shop did a diagnosis on the car. I was told that the Electric Gear Power Steering Motor needs to be replaced along the whole Rack and Pinion that it's attached to has to be replaced because of the way it's designed. I found out that 2,000 of these same model and year of cars had a recall on them for this exact problem, but my car's VIN wasn't included in that recall. After doing thorough research on the internet, I have found that this is a common issue with these cars, and it's obvious that the manufacturer should have included more cars in the recall. I have just turned 77,000 miles on my car, and I have been given a $4,000 estimate to get it repaired. It is completely undrivable at this time.

While navigating a curve, my power steering quit, nearly causing me to hit an oncoming car in the opposite lane. I stop and search the car for issues but found none. The care returned to normal steering and two days later, I had a vehicle pull out in front of me, while quickly avoiding the other car, my power steering quit working again. Luckily, I was able to overcome the steering but it certainly shocked me. This is a most definite safety concern that must be looked at closer before someone seriously gets hurt.

Adaptive cruise control dropped out, taking along with it the ABS (warning light), Stabilitrak (handling system) (warning light), Collision prep (message). Dealer states the ABS computer module failed, now in process of finding a replacement. Meanwhile, the ABS, cruise control, and other systems mentioned here are inoperative. It may well be that this may be considered to be a component failure, not an inherent safety issue but under some driving conditions it is clearly a safety consideration.

I was driving on a main street. Received Power Steering Fluid message and then steering well locked up. Could not manuever it. Had to pull over to call for assistance, to no avail. The manual states it is a electrical power issue. I've taken this car in numerous of times for various services, specially the "jerking" of the car. I've discovered there was a recall for the Power steering today was announced a few years ago but never gotten a letter to have mine checked. I just recently picked my car up from servicing and there is no notation of needing power steering fluid. I feel like this is a dangerous issue especially if had locked up on the highway!

The contact owns a 2016 Buick Lacrosse. The contact stated while attempting to drive from a complete stop, the steering wheel locked, almost causing a collision. A message indicating power steering failure was displayed. The Police Department assisted the contact with driving the vehicle to the side of the road. The contact stated upon turning off and restarting the vehicle, the power steering responded as needed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) needed to be updated. The vehicle was repaired. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure via mail. The failure mileage was approximately 23,098. The contact stated that she paid for the repairs according to the Technical Service Bulletin that applies to her vehicle.

This concerns our 2016 Buick LaCrosse. We leased the car late in 2016 for 3-1/2 years, then purchased it including an extended warranty. Two problems occurred. First the fuel supply line to the engine began leaking, leaving a gasoline odor inside the car. We took the car to our dealership and had it repaired. We told the dealership we purchased an extended warranty with the car and were told this repair was not covered! We had to pay ±$471 out of pocket which we don't agree with. The second issue is the Return fuel supply line which let loose when starting the car, (weeks later) spraying gas all over the garage floor. I opened the hood to check the problem and tried starting the engine again. There was a small fire which I extinguished immediately. We had to have the car towed to the dealership to get it repaired a second time for fuel line issues. This time it cost us ±$978 out of pocket to get it fixed. They said again extended warranty did NOT cover this problem. I am told by a GM executive that GM has a separate warranty (10yr) for EPA fuel & emissions compliance that should have covered this situation, yet the dealer charged us for the repairs. I have also heard that NHTSA has a similar regulation which I would like to know more about.

The contact owns a 2016 Buick Lacrosse. The contact stated that when she started her vehicle, the automatic collision unavailable, and oil leak warning message illuminated. The contact stated the warning lights were then unilluminated. The contact stated that the following day while the vehicle was parked and turned on, the power steering warning light illuminated and the steering wheel seized. The contact stated she called a tow truck to tow the vehicle to the local dealer and while she waited she was able to steer the steering wheel; however, she did not feel safe driving the vehicle and it was then towed to a local dealer. The dealer informed the contact that the diagnosis was that the vehicle needed to update the power control module(PCM) software. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact the failure was not covered under the warranty. The failure mileage was 92,968.

At highway speeds with the Adaptive Cruise Control engaged, the brakes are heavily applied when other vehicles or obstructions are not observed. ACC engaged on controlled access highway no vehicles or obstructions and random hard braking takes place. Vehicle has been taken to the dealer numerous times for this condition and dealer reports no problems.

Vogue Custom Built Radial VIII Tire size: 235/50/18 While driving on the Highway, I experienced a Tire blowout on my front passenger side of the vehicle that also led to vehicle damage. I have pictures of the tire post blowout with a gaping hole in the middle of the tire and the tread completely fallen off. This Incident put my life and others at risk as I was forced to pull my vehicle to the side border of the highway to avoid incoming traffic. This Incident occurred 7 months after I had my tires serviced at my local tire shop where they verified that 2 of the 4 tires were experiencing splitting on the sidewall and tread. I got those 2 tires replaced with the same vogue tires and they were moved to the back of the vehicle. The other 2 tires were ok to drive on. This background information highlights what I believe is a manufacturer's defect with the tendency that these Vogue tires have to split and deteriorate. I believe that the front passenger tire that blew out on the highway, likely experienced the same effects that required me to replace 2 of the tires just 7 months ago. These tires are dangerous for anyone to drive on due to this manufacturer's defect. They have less than 60,000 miles of mileage on them, they were properly inflated, and I did not receive any vehicle warning signs or see any indicators on the exterior of the tire. I am also a person that services their vehicle routinely. My hope is to help others avoid the risks that come with these tires which could have cost myself and others their lives.

When braking from 50 mph or 40 mph coming to a stop my car jerks and it’s very hard to stop it uncomfortable hesitation, Jerk, or lurch. Almost caused accident twice where I couldn’t stop the vehicle this is very unsafe for me and my family also transmission downshifts and up shifts are really hard in this vehicle

The right side power mirror changes position by itself, it only seems to occur when starting vehicle. It will change even if the correct position is entered into the memory. It happens numerous times in a day or not at all. And I took it in for service, the dealer said there is nothing wrong, we cannot duplicate the issue. So they could not fix it.

THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER MIRROR CHANGES POSITION BY ITSELF. ALSO WHEN I HIT A BAD BUMP OR POTHOLE THE DOORS UNLOCK

SERVICE: POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE AS I TURNED ON MY STREET. AS I TURNED TO PARK THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. WENT TO CHECK POWER STEERING FLUID, NO POWER STEERING PUMP. THIS VEHICLE HAS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, HOWEVER FUSE #23 IS A 10 AM FUSE BUT IT WAS GOOD. THERE IS NO 80 AMP FUSE ON THE BATTERY POST. THIS IS A HAZARD AND SHOULD BE FIXED.

AT 25 - 30 MPH AND AT 45 - 50 MPH THE CAR SHAKES VIOLENTLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THEY SAID THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS. I NEED A NEW LOWER AND UPPER TRANSMISSION. THAT IS THE RECOMMENDED FIX. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS TO CHEVY TRANSMISSIONS AND THE COST IS $5400. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT GOES WRONG ALL THE TIME, THAT'S A PROBLEM THAT I DID NOT CREATE. MY VEHICLE IS WORTH LESS THAN THE COST OF THE FIX AND I STILL OWE MORE THAN TWICE THE COST OF THE FIX.

THIS IS TO AMEND COMPLAINT NUMBER 11051891. CAUSE OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WAS AFTERMARKET FLOOR MAT INSTALLED BY THE BUICK DEALER! FLOOR MAT HAS DIAGONAL GROOVES MOLDED INTO THE RUBBER IN EXACTLY THE WORST SPOT SUCH THAT THE CORNER OF ACCELERATOR PEDAL CATCHES IN THE GROOVE AND HOLDS THE THROTTLE WIDE OPEN. I GUESS THEY DIDN'T LEARN FROM THE TOYOTA / LEXUS DISASTERS AND DARN NEAR KILLED ME IN THE PROCESS!

FROM STANDING STOP OR WHILE IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, STOMP THE ACCELERATOR TO COMMAND IMMEDIATE ACCELERATION: ACCELERATOR SOMETIMES STICKS IN WIDE OPEN THROTTLE RESULTING IN UNINTENDED SUSTAINED ACCELERATION. FIRST COUNTER-MEASURE TRIED - SLAP THE GEAR SELECTOR HANDLE TO NEUTRAL POSITION; HOWEVER, ENGINE REMAINS IN WOT CONDITION. SECOND COUNTER-MEASURE - PUSH THE ENGINE OFF SWITCH AND COAST TO A STOP. THIRD COUNTER-MEASURE - STOP THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AGAIN UNTIL IT COMES UN-STUCK. IN LIGHT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF COUNTER-MEASURE #3, I BELIEVE THE FAULT IS IN THE LINKAGE FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE THROTTLE CONTROL - PROBABLY IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL LINKAGE ITSELF.

I HAD PARKED IN THE VISITORS PARKING SPACE AT THE NURSING HOME. I WANTED TO STRAIGHTEN MY CAR IN THE SPACE. WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE, MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD AT AN UNCONTROLLABLE FAST SPEED, WENT ACROSS THE SIDEWALK, HIT THE VISITORS PARKING SIGN, WENT ACROSS SOME GRASS, ACROSS THE MAIN SIDEWALK TO THE BUILDING, ACROSS SOME MORE GRASS, HIT THE VISITORS PARKING SIGN ON THE OTHER SIDE, AND ACROSS THE SIDEWALK. I FINALLY GOT IT STOPPED IN THE PARKING LOT BY APLYING THE BRAKE. SINCE MY WHEELS WERE TURNED TO PARK, THE CAR MADE A COMPLETE CIRCLE WITH THE WHEELS STILL TURNED. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH OR CAUSE A DEATH!. I WAS FORTUNATE THIS TIME! WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN?. CONSEQUENTLY WE HAVE A CAR WHICH WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT OF SOME KIND WHICH CAUSED MY ACCIDENT. THIS IS A BUICK LACROSSE 2016 WITH LESS THAT 5,000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 BUICK LACROSSE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND SWAYED TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT.

AS I WAS HEADING OUT OF TOWN FOR MY DAILY COMMUTE TO WORK I HEARD A LOUD POP NOISE. I LOOKED UP AND NOTICED MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED ABOVE ME. I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MPH AND HAD NO TRAFFIC AROUND ME. I TURNED AROUND AND HEADED BACK HOME WHERE I NOTICED THAT THE GLASS WAS BENT UPWARD AS IF THERE WAS TOO MUCH PRESSURE IN THE CABIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID SOMETHING HAD TO OF HIT IT WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AROUND ME AND THE HOLE WAS ABOUT 1FT BY 1FT WITH THE GLASS BENT UPWARD AS IF IT WAS SOMETHING FROM THE INSIDE THAT CAUSED IT TO EXPLODE. I LOOKED UP ON LINE AND NOTICED THAT THE 2015 BUICK REGAL AND CHEVY CRUZE BOTH HAD TO HAVE RECALLS WHERE THEY REPLACED THIN GLASS IN SUNROOFS. TO ME IT APPEARS THIS IS THE CASE FOR MY 2016 BUICK LACROSSE WHERE THE GLASS WAS TOO THIN.

MY FUEL LINE RUBBED AGAINST A METAL BRACKET IN THE CAR TAKING AWAY THE INSULATION. THE ONLY WAY I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS WAS BECAUSE I CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS ON THE CAR. I HAVE ASKED BUICK TO REPLACE THE LINE HOWEVER THEY REFUSED BECAUSE OF HOW MANY MILES I HAVE ON THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65+ MPH) THE INFORMATION CENTER WILL DISPLAY 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER' AND CAR WILL DOWN SHIFT AND ONLY REACH 45 MPH. CAUSING CLOSE TO REAR-END CRASH. YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC IMMEDIATELY AND TURN OFF ENGINE. RE-START ENGINE AND CONTINUE DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. SEEMS LIKE A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN HUMID WEATHER, THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD HAS QUICKLY FOGGED UP TO THE POINT OF BLINDING ME. THE DEFROSTERS ARE SHOOTING A FOG OF MOISTURE ONTO THE GLASS. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE HVAC CHECKED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS CONDITION WAS NORMAL. SEEMS DANGEROUS TO ME?

RENTED AUTO FROM ENTERPRISE LEASING COMPANY OF ST. LOUIS, DROVE 412 MILES WITH THE SEAT HEATERS ON. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR I FELT AN INTENSE BURNING SENSATION ON MY LOWER BACK. BEFORE BED MY HUSBAND LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS VERY VERY RED. I AM A BACK SLEEPER SO I HAD A VERY RESTLESS NIGHT. BY THE NEXT MORNING THE RED SPOTS HAD BLISTERED AND ARE PAINFUL. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TO REPORT THE INCIDENT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TALK TO ENTERPRISE LEASING COMPANY OF ST. LOUIS; WHICH IS JUST RIDICULOUS - ENTERPRISE DID NOT MAKE THE CAR! EVENTUALLY I WAS GIVEN CASE NUMBER 8-1897481531. I HAVE READ OTHER REPORTS OF GM BEING SUED FOR BURNS FROM SEAT HEATERS, GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO INSTALL A SAFETY FEATURE TO PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM THIS FEATURE.
