general problems of the 2014 Buick Enclave

For the past month, I had been unable to start the vehicle unless I would turn the key without fully starting the vehicle and having to shift to each gear until I would be able to start it. It would start in any gear, but mostly in neutral. Now, on September 25, 2024, I stopped at a shopping center and I was unable to turn the vehicle on at all and it is now stuck in that parking lot. I had not been able to report it because hurricane helene hit (September 26, 2024) and we just got power, but phone lines and internet are not stable and cut off in the middle of calls and we have issues uploading documents. I called gm about the issue yesterday and they said because my VIN is not on the recall list that I have to pay for my car to be towed ($89 hook up fee plus $8 per mile) and I have to pay for any repairs. The airbag needs to be replaced as well because it has not been replaced due to the dealership saying they had not received the part and the appointment would be cancelled, so I quit making an appointment to have the driver's side air bag replaced.

The Buick did a hard turn to the left, without any action of the driver, and went into an uncontrollable counterclockwise spin and hit the concrete divider. Prior to the accident the Buick was traveling in the right south bound lane of us 75 with the traffic flow. There was a light rain and no one was changing lanes or speeding. No other vehicle skidded or went out of control. The cause of the accident was not the weather or driver error. Possible causes for the accident are: faulty steering system, faulty antiskid system, or a computer glitch. The dealer would not talk to us. The Buick has not been inspected. No one will inspect it.

Steering stiffness & tightness at low speed or high speed. Steering wheel tighten's up to the point where it's almost impossible to turn the wheel. Extremely dangerous when driving 50-60 mph on the expressway. Just purchased the vehicle Dec 19th 2020. I noticed the problem within the first 2 days car dealer was contacted Dec 21st 2020 in regards to the problem. Car was diagnosed at the dealer & returned to me without any findings of the issue. Still there is stiffness that comes & goes. I'm extremely concerned about my safety and or others. This is a significant problem that needs attention ASAP. Please recall some could or myself could be injured or killed. Brakes make a crunchy clicking noise & the dealer stated that they couldn't duplicate the sound.

There were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to action Buick GMC (211 ross clark cir, dothan, al 36303, (866) 926-2457) to be diagnosed.

I cannot turn my steering wheel when going at slow mph. When trying to pull into parking spaces, driveways, sharp turns or basically doing anything had requires me to drive slowly and turn, my steering wheel will not turn. It's extremely hard.
