2008 Buick Lucerne recall on the weight on the key ring. Car went dead in the parking lot. The ignition coil and module were replaced.
As I was turning a corner in this vehicle the engine suddenly stopped running. As I was on a lightly traveled street inside a development I was able to stop near the curb. I attempted to restart the car but it would not start. I called for assistance and a flat bed tow truck came after 1 hour. The car was taken to a Buick dealer that I normally use. The problem was diagnosed as the failure of the ignition module and 3 ignition coils that were supposedly damaged by the failing ignition coil. I feel that this is a serious problem as the sudden loss of power caused the power steering and braking to cease. If I had been on a busy highway or interstate it could have resulted in an crash as a result of the lack of control of the vehicle. I believe I was fortunate to be on a lightly traveled road inside a development.
