| Vehicle Speed Control problems |
November 24th 2024 my car failed to let me use the brake, I was going about 45mph and when I went to apply brake pressure the pedal was so stiff I couldnt use the brake. Causing from end collision, when I made a trip to springdale to have my car I soected it didnt make it, started backfiring and dying around 65 mph then the motor blew, it had some issues starting but nothing like what happened within that few seconds. Im out of a car now because it drove perfect and I never have to give it thought.
I got a 2012 Buick Regal I brought it July 2018 my car was died out of nowhere about 5 months prior list and then after I changed my oil my car didn't go anymore it sounded like a chain the first night after they change the oil and then the next day I drove it for 2 hours I don't know if the timing is off or what.
Codes p0016 p0017 dtc p0299 under turbo boost p0010 - fluid leak from transmission - stabilitrak light on and off (2017, 2018, 2019)- { I paid to have the issue fixed and less than a year later it happens again} car will not pick up speed - crank / cam position not plausible - timing chain stretched /stuck. ( popping sound coming from under my seat in 2017)these are all issues that happen while driving. I am getting on the on ramp for the highway and my car will not go pass 35 mph for over 15 seconds, even if I floor it. There is on coming traffic doing 60 to 70 mph and that is a life or death situation. I have no way of moving to avoid being hit. My car will stall when I try to drive after stopping at a stop light.
Driving on highway at 70mph and car completely shut down almost causing a serious accident and dash board went haywire brakes locked and service stabiliktrack system and abs assist warnings and it smelled like my car was on fire brakes locked steering and lost power totally shut down glad someone was in car to help me steer to side of road out of traffic had to have towed and there was a recall for this problem before apparently gm didnt get it right I could have died and they are refusing to repair problem since the previous owner had it done before I purchased it and there are other owners having same issues again.
