I was on the highway on the interior lane at 75 MPH when all the sudden I got a audible and visual alarm indicating steering failure. I then got the same for stabiltrak failure. The steering assist was obviously gone immediately and the car started floating back and forth. I had my wife and 92 year old mother-in -law with me and it was misting heavily so I carefully continued to drive at a reduced speed. I took the car in and they said the steering was not getting electricity. Also, they said the passenger side rear wheel sensor went out which caused the back and forth motion. The car dealership wants to charge me $3400 for the repairs. I see that there were recalls on other gm products for the steering on similar models I.e. Cadillac etc. I found several instances online for buic

09/17/2015 5,600 mi ODI #10764499.0

Was driving the vehicle at a fairly lower speed. (35 MPH). Was utilizing the cruise control, moved my right leg, and due to the positioning of the ignition, my leg bumped the keys slightly, which caused the key to turn into the position where the vehicle was no longer running. Upon noticing that the engine had stopped running, was still successfully able to place the car into neutral and restart the vehicle without causing an accident- however, had I been driving at a higher rate of speed, this could have been catastrophic.

Car has autostop. While waiting on light and when it changed car stalled like it did not want to start up. It made the noise like someone turned the key with the car still on, but this is a keyless ignition. It has died this several times and I have taken it to Buick dealer and they say nothing wrong with it, it has did it twice more since they checked it. Last time I was at a food drive thru and it stalled made noise then started back up. Vehicle was stationary. It seems like the autostop gets stuck and their is a delay starting back up. That is dangerous when turning at a light. Please investigate . Thank you

Factory wheel rims constantly loose air at the edge/ need of the rims. After attempts to resolve the problem had failed. Some research, apparently this is a common issue with these factory rims. The issue is, rim material deterioration/ pitting at the tire need area. Adding air every week. Why would this not be a safety issue?

Malfunction of a cooper CS5 Ultra Touring tire 245/4519. I noticed that the PSI of front drivers tire was low. Put air in tire, one week later the PSI was low again. I was vacationing in the mountains, so I started down the mountain to go to the nears gas station for air. I had driving apex. 2 miles when I heard the sound of a flat tire. I had to pull over on the side of this narrow road and wait for road side assistance. This was very hazardous since my car was in a blind spot to on coming traffic. When I did make it to a tire center, I was told the tire was not repairable because the belt had separated from the tire. Now this morning I have a second tire that needs air. I will get this tire checked immediately. This tires have low mileage on them and the belt should not be separa
