Trac light would come on and off a few times. Eventually the trac off, and abs light stay on. It occurs at random moments while stationary and in motion. Disabling the traction control. This is hazardous when it is on and in motion with not favorable weather ie rain or snow. I have had this happen to me, driving in the rain with the abs disabled, I had to apply my brakes hard to avoid rear ending the car in front of me who had hit their brakes to avoid an accident as well. I have replaced hub assembly, rotors brakes, brake calipers, brake hoses the whole nine yards. Was told by one mechanic that when the traction system lights are on and abs is disengaged this causes higher wear and tear on the rotors and brake pads. Was also told that the abs wiring harness is too short, so it gets pulled when making turns. This issue will also happen if I go over bumps, like railroad tracks, the small street ditch for rain at the end of a driveway. Sometimes I just start the car up and it will immediately come on. I also had the side sear front passenger airbag deploy when a friend closed the seatbelt in the door. The car was in drive, however it was not in motion. The buckle got stuck on the frame at the lock latch. The door flew back open, air bag deployed, and all interior lights on the car as well as the dash lit up.

I was in a head on collision hitting a car that ran a stop sign off a highway. He was traveling at a high rate of speed. No airbags deployed. The entire front end was pushed into me causing extensive injuries to both knees and left shoulder because the seat belt did lock upon impact.
On may 31,2011, we were traveling on hiway 82, in nahunta, GA. And a car pulled out in front of me and we crashed at approxamately 35 mph. There were tow people in the front and one person in the back. The shoulder harnesses did not lock and I hit the steering wheel, my wife hit the dash with her face and my daughter was thrown about in the back seat injuring her leg and her shoulder she had just been released from having surgury on. I have an appointment on Wednesday June 29, 2011 to have it repaired in wayx, GA.
The contact owns a 2002 Buick Rendezvous. While driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle slid and the front end crashed into a large tree. The vehicle continued to slide, rolled over a few times, and finally landed in the upright position. The driver was ejected through the driver's side window and sustained a broken neck, ribs, and thumbs, as well as spleen damage and major swelling and bruising. The driver was the only occupant in the vehicle at the time and is still in the intensive care unit at the hospital. None of the air bags deployed, which the contact believes is a major defect that could have prevented some of the injuries that the driver sustained.
