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 down the highway and when I went to apply my brakes the pedal completely broke off. It was just dangling on the floorboard. I had no brakes. I was forced to put my car in neutral to slow myself down and apply my parking break in order to stop. The road was very busy and I was going 60mph. I could have died. Luckily I was able to make it over 2 lanes and stop in the grass on the side of the road. I had the car towed to my mechanic and he had to replace the whole brake assembly. I have the broken parts and they are available for inspection. There were no warning lights.

Brake lights may stay on when the car is parked and the engine is off. This is due to the brake pedal may become sticky intermittently as per gm's service bulletin: sb-10045319-1529. At times, while pressing the gas pedal, the car may not move at all and it can become a safety hazard for the driver and drivers behind you. However, as of 5-8-23, gm does not have an open recall for this safety issue and may lead to an fatal accident. Please investigate this issue and possibly open a recall notice as this could cause a serious safety issue.

We're purchasing this vehicle from superior auto, and we seen a recall back in 2011/12 from stabiltrak and deterrent auto theft, since this $21, 240 car we've had issues causing the car to shut off and lock up without warning, no power steering or brakes, and stabiltrak and auto deterrent theft warning pop up, and had it to 2 mechanics that are baffled and it produces no codes, I've almost gotten in 3 accidents causing this, and now I'm too scared to drive this car, the recall had same issues for improperly calibrated esc defective sensors not showing codes, nobody will fix the issue without codes and I don't need to hurt or kill anyone. Superior auto is not caring about taking this car back or trading it in, please help me figure this out, there was no accidents, but this car is unsafe for the road.

The brakes are getting stuck on while I am driving. The most recent occurrence happened while I was on the highway. The car would not accelerate, the whole system was shaking, there was no safe space for me to pull over. This vehicle has a recall for this exact problem but from what the dealer is saying, not my VIN. I find it hard to believe that this has occurred and it is unrelated to a previous recall for faulty brakes on 2011 Buick Lacrosse. Since this incident, the abs light has been on and another dash light has been on. My mechanic believes the brakes getting too hot may have lead to further damage to the abs sensor.

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.

I was driving my car to my house an my car started acting funny. While driving randomly 2 lights came on saying service brake assist and service stabili track. It became extremely hard to steer, the automatic brakes stopped working and it cut off on the highway. I put it in neutral and got to the side of the road. When I cut it back on it had the following warning lights; service brake assist, service stabili track. I almost died and my girl had to pay for a tow truck for me to get home and I was right up the street. I feel like it dangerous and when I told GMC they said its nothing they could do. It is several recalls with vehicles just like mine that are the same year with the same problems but they said they would not help me. My car is not drivable and I can not afford to get all the things fixed that were recalls. I am immobile and it is causing harm to me financially. I trusted GMC and I feel like they should do right by consumers.

Constantly been having engine problems. Engine light coming on and off. I was driving it down a highway, coming to a stop due to a red light when the whole front of my car begin to sputter and gave out. It read "stabiltrak" but when taken to the shop it only read a code for the carbon filter. Which, was changed and did fixed the problem for the time being. However, its doing the same thing again. . Which is very dissapointing because its a very well kept up with car, never goes without its necessities. . And at this point I'm thinking it could be my braking system due to this problem weakening my brakes but I don't see why because those were changed about 6 months ago. Maybe, even an electrical problem with my traction control.

The brake pedal gets �stuck� during normal breaking. I have to put my foot under the pedal and pull it back up or the brakes will not disengage.

I got this v�hicule and work only for 22 days. Were I got it this place should be check.

After pressing the brake pedal down, the pedal does not return to the home position. It remains depressed and the brakes will only disengage after I manually lift the brake pedal. This occurs when the weather is warm out and occurs in all stages of driving when this happens (stationary, in motion, etc).

The component is the brakes and the brake pedal while not engaging the brakes they remained on even after the vehicle was shut off . The vehicle brake lights remained on this was not duplicated when I took the car in by the dealer of how the brake remains engaged we even when not being used I would have to release the break by pulling it up with my foot while driving . This was duplicated and witnessed by two others the dealership where I bought the car and a trusted mechanic. Which no avai there was no warning light indicating any type of concern prior to it doing this. The brake pedal being slightly stuck my transmission shifts not properly and hot feeling to the car now I have a warning saying that ac will not work due to the overheating of my engine which I believe to have repaired however the repair that was believed to be the problem obviously wasn't the problem because the light still remains on and the fan runs continuously the minute I start the car to the time I shut the car off I live in north dakota and it is -1 today and the fan continues to run at all times and the warning light is on cooling fan the car lunges at times which is easy to lose control over when it does this it lunges to the point where it physically noticeable and and no warnings of this that a compensation is going to need to be made in my driving with this lunge issue. I do feel this break issue has affected many other parts of the vehicle and the safety associated with these components. Also at times the driver's seat will not move it goes up to the dash or back to the back seat leaving me in a position where I cannot drive the vehicle safely at all. Also the cruise control would not engage because of the brakes being slightly engaged. Took her to the dealership discussed this problem with them and they could not duplicate and it's been going on since I purchased the car it had 30,000 miles on it when I bought it and it continues to do this and I think it's a safety issue.

Was in a accident 2/16 speed limit 40 driving on city street. Car in front of me stopped in middle of the rd and started backing up tried to avoid collision and still had impact. The airbags did not deploy and the car engine seemed to accelerate instead of slow down. I had this happen one time before while breaking but then it switched back and drove normal called dealership and they said no recalls. My car was a total loss front impact no airbags deployed.

Antilock brake system-the round magnetic sensor that is attached to the wheel bearing hub-had both back ones have parts of the magnet ring break off and one front one completely fall off. This causes loss of antilock brake system. This happened within the last two years.

While driving in traffic on city street during rush hour traffic my vehicle completed shut down no warning, engine light popped on, the wheel became stiff the brakes became stiff. I put it in park, turned the ignition offend started it up again, it started right up and I continued driving for another 4 miles engine light remained on. Pulled into parking shut if off and started it back up but engine light remained on, drove 4 miles home, as turning onto street shut off again wheel locked, brakes stiff, repeat first steps, drove 50 ft, shut off, drove another 50 ft shut off, but then didn't start back up right away. Wait a minute started up but was hesitating. Never had this happen, 130k miles on it.

While accelerating from a stop at an intersection and intitating a trn on a city street, the engine stopped and lost power steering and power brakes. The engine had to be jumped and a rod knock sound occurred. The engine later siezed up permanently at the service center. The vehicle was well maintained and oil levels were within normal operating range. There were no prior indications of engine trouble.

The engine light had come on and I went to a repair shop to have it repaired. I was told to bring it back the next day and on my way back the charging light came on. I was on the highway doing 70 miles an hour in a curve when all systems went down the instrument panel lit up and I lost braking, steering and all other functions. And I was very lucky to not have wrecked the car. This is a very dangerous situation that needs to be corrected.

Adaptive cruise engages antilock brakes in a random manner even when no car is in front of you when the vehicle is in motion at a variety of different speeds. Has happened multiple times for several months.

Could not press on steering box on left above. Engine shut off while taking a right turn driving a few days after we bought the car. Steering and brakes went. Car shut off in middle of the road on a busy street. Car did restart and drive home about one mile. Drove the car 2 more times with no problem. Then on day 10 drive car couple miles to store on very busy street; car shut off while driving taking right turn and steering and breaks did not work; almost ran into an oncoming vehicle as car would not steer into store parking lot. Turned car in automatic ignition and it started; waived oncoming car; apologized; and car was parked. Drove home without incident. Going to call Honda dealer that sold me this car, there is recall on 2000-2009 I just researched, but unsure if recall extends to this behicle 2010 model. Please contact me if any action or remedy in law I may have. This is very dangerous situation; no one should have to be physically injured before obtaining a fa ir remedy. Car recall should have turned up on car fax done by Honda. Please contact me regarding recalls on this vehicle. I can't check this box off below. Tech issues. Thankyou! this is frightening!.

While driving around 65 mph on a highway. The battery light went on. Then suddenly the power steering and brakes died. It was very scary. A hugh safety issue, this very easily could have lead to a serious accident, crash or death. The steering was very difficult to turn and the brakes hard to push down. But the car was still running and luckily I was close to a exit. I pulled off the highway and stopped in store parking lot. It would not start after getting there. I had to have it taken to a Buick dealership. It was also showing a air bag error message. They told me it had to do with the seat position or something like that. I have had it there 6 times this year with the same issue. About 3 weeks ago for the 7th time of taking it there they finally replaced the hybrid battery stating that was the problem. However it worked for only 9 days. When I went to drive it on the ninth day, the battery light was again on and had no power steering or brakes. I left it in my garage, but ultimately had to take it back to the company who has now had it for 2 weeks stating that there is some type of parasitic draw on the batter and it won't hold a charge. They also can't find the issue with what's wrong with the car. This car is not safe and should be recalled.

Power steering service soon warning comes on and power steering is lost. General motors has been notified and dealer has reset computer. Continues to fail. Extremely difficult to steer when this happens. Happens at slow speeds on city streets and while turning.

While driving uphill in the winter, went to turn into neighborhood at top of hill, just as turning the vehicle, vehicle died. Everything stopped working. Engine shit off, brakes wouldn't work, steering wheel locked, lights went off, then wouldn't start. Then the vehicle instructed to roll driver window down then up, roll right window down then up. Almost like it was trying to reboot. But this happened in the middle of driving. After trying a third time to start, it started. All information was gone, no mileage, oil life gone, tripometer gone. Drove vehicle home, just a block away and been too scared to drive the vehicle since.

When driving my car on declining grades the "traction control" light will appear and the car's front brakes will automatically slow the vehicle down. This happened on 1/21/2018 most recently and almost caused an accident as the person behind me wasn't ready for my car to come to a complete stop.

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.

The anti brake locking system is becoming active when driving with unbearable squeaking had brakes and rotors looked at and they are good.

When garcia Buick in santa fe nm drove my car into their shop they said the brake pedal went to the floor and the car almost ran into a wall. They told me the problem was traced to a malfunctioning check valve in the power brake boster pump inlet pipe assembly p/n 20935438. This is a terrible design and a huge saftey problem. The loss of a vacuum assist device should never allow the brake pedal to go to floor and not stop the car.
