I was driving out a navy federal bank in augusta georgia and when making a left turn, my steering wheel locked and caused me to crash into a light pole and ruined my entire front end of my vehicle. It locked as if the car wasn't there in motion and as if it was a safety procedure for the steering wheel.

I was getting on the on ramp for the interstate and gradually attempting to gaining speed to but my vehicle would not pick up speed. I pressed the gas pedal to the floor with no pick up. Then all of a sudden my vehicle began to pick up speed. When the vehicle got up to approximately 60 mph it began to do the same thing again I had the accelerater pedal to the floor. I could here the vehicle idling and after some time had passed it began to pick up speed again. I've had my vehicle for four years and have kept up with the maintenance at the dealer ship. I have paid for diagnostics several times at the dealership to no avail. I took it to the dealer but they found nothing wrong with it. I have taken it more than 5 times in an attempt to rectify the problem with no success. It's not a constant thing, however it is quite dangerous as well as unsettling not knowing when or where my safety may be comprised in this vehicle. This is my second Buick Lacrosse which has had problems of this nature. I was hoping my problems with my 2005 Buick Lacrosse was an isolated incident but I'm beginning to think perhaps it wasn't. Maybe this can all be attributed to just poor workmanship with inferior product manufacturing.

Engine quit causing brakes and steering to become inoperative. This is the 5th time this has happened. I have previously reported this to ntsa and general motors. I never received a response from gm. I took the vehicle to my dealer and the only thing they did was reprogram the vehicle but apparently it did no good. I think the problem is in the ignition system.

I was driving on a two-lane country road. To avoid a dead animal in the road (possibly woodchuck), I swerved hard left at which time the vehicle began to shake violently, so much so I thought it would roll over. The car bounces at every little bump, pulls sharply right when braking, wobbles at the slightest excuse, and is very unstable. There is a kerplunk noise at the smallest road indentation (which may be because an odd tire was put on the car). It is very hard to see vehicles passing on the right because of the large headrests, huge mirror and post between doors. Not a safe car! please avoid this car.

Describe what happened vehicle pulls left continuously.

2010 Buick Lacrosse. (lawyer on behalf of client) consumer has several defects with vehicle such as back firing, malfunction light, car falls dead in traffic, steering wheel locks.

I bought a 2010 Buick Lacrosse in December of 2010. I noticed a pull to the left on the way home that very day. I have had this vehicle into the dealership 4 times looking to have this issue resolved. The service department contacted gm tech support, case #71-906679886 to see if there has been a report of a steering problem. There had been and they recommended making the camber split higher. After several attempts to remedy this problem, I was told to take the car to a different gm dealer to see if maybe they could find the problem. I drove with the service technition and he said that there have been many 2010 Lacrosse and enclave vehicles with the same pull to the left. He had spent alot of time trying to fix the problem. After discussions and test drives with several gm field technitions, the issue remains and I have been told that according to the district field representative, the issue has been documented as a "characteristic of a Buick". I hope that gm does not wait for a fatal accident before they take this problem seriously. The pull to the left is very distinct and if you get distracted or even take you hand off the wheel, you will end up in the left lane. The pull seems to be more prevelant when driving on concrete than asphalt. The crown of the road has nothing to do with the pull either. There is a distinct need to apply pressure to the steering wheel in able to keep the car driving straight.

Purchased vehicle new as a demo, has been back to the dealership over 5 times and are unable to correct the issue. The issue is a hard pull to the left. It is noticeable at any speed but when it really becomes an issue is at expressway speeds. The vehicle is a safety issue as it will not stay in line and any interruption could case the vehicle to travel in another lane not just a drift in what you would expect but a hard left turn, hopefully nobody is there when it happens.
