general problems of the 2006 Buick Lucerne

While driving home on rereidental street( 31th near charles street) in rockford IL. At 8:00pm,crossing over charles street while the intersection light in my direction; and east bound vehicle dis-regared the light and crossed into my path turning left going south causing damage to the entire vehicle from the tires to the bumper. The empact turning the vehicle ( 2006 Buick lucrene 4 dr. ) completely around. My main concern is that the air bags ( driver/pass) did not deport. . . . Question to you is there any steps I can take to settle this issue for compensation. . The vehicle was a total lost.

Driving westbound on illinois rt-7 towards lockport, illinois when vehicle went out of control and into oncoming lane nearly causing a head-on collision. Upon inspection, it was determined that the front struts rusted through at the mounting flanges whereby the front suspension collapsed falling down on the left front tire destroying the new michelin tire throwing the car out of control and into the oncoming lane. The car is garage kept with little to no rust anywhere but on the struts. General motors refused to cover the repairs as the car was out of warrantee! I have owned other cars for thirty years with a lot more miles and never had such a catastrophic failure of a suspension system. Even old pick-up trucks last a lot longer. This defect is sure to cause many accidents and possible fatalities across the country. Pictures are available showing the defective struts.

The warning light came on and stated service stabilitrac and then went off. Two weeks later came on again, and went off. The car began to shake and vibrate as brakes were applied when stopping. About a month after that the traction control light came on and the car began applying the brakes at a speed of about 50 miles per hour and making a noise that was loud enough to hear as it sounded like the pressing of the brakes to the wheel hubs. My wife and daughter and I turned arouned arouned went back home and parked the car and drove my truck to visit other family members that day. Two weeks later I took the Buick 2006 Lucerne to have a gm certified mech put it on the diagnostic machine and the reported that nothing showed up as needing replaced.

While at a tire shop for a tire rotation, the technician advised the contact that the front driver and passenger side tires were extremely bald and the rear driver and passenger side tires were extremely worn. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated no assistance could be provided until further wear occurred. The tires were not replaced. The dot number was not available. The approximate failure mileage of the tires was 19,940. The vehicle failure mileage was 46,200. Updated 02/14/lj the consumer stated the tires were wearing excessively. Updated 02/24/12.

Auto pulls to the right. Steering sluggish, cannot go over 40 mph without front end vibrates. Feels like unbalanced wheels, but I had that done. Dealer changed tires, problem still exists.
