THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSE THAT THE FRONT BRAKE HUB SPEED SENSOR, THE WIRING HARNESS AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WIRING CONNECTOR TERMINAL WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND CAUSED A BLINDING SPOT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,500. UPDATED 11/9/2012 *JS

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE HAS SOMETHING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT EVER BE FOUND BY A TEST DRIVE AT DEALER BY SERVICE MECHANIC. I ALSO BELIEVE THIS STARTED BEFORE THE POSTED MILEAGE ABOVE BUT I DO NOT HAVE ALL PAPERWORK FROM DEALERSHIP THAT SERVICED IT. VEHICLE WILL BOG DOWN AFTER YOU START TO ACCELERATE ON HILLS, AROUND CURVES, AT TAKE OFF. SOMETIMES THIS ENABLES TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BUT NOT ALWAYS. I WILL HAVE NO ACCELERATION FOR SECONDS AND IS VERY UNSAFE AS THE LAST TIME IT DID IT I WAS COMING AROUND A DANGEROUS CURVE WITH A DUMP TRUCK BEHIND ME AND COULDN'T SPEED UP BECAUSE HAD NO POWER WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. I ALSO HAD IT HAPPEN AS I WAS PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND IT ALL BUT STOPPED BESIDE THE VEHICLE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS. NO ACCELERATION CAN LEAD TO SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH DEPENDING ON CIRCUMSTANCES AT TIME OF INCIDENT. I HAVE TAKE TO DEALER MORE THAN 3 TIMES FOR SAME ISSUE TO BE TOLD ITS NOTHING AND THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. EVEN I KNOW THAT SOME CARS HAVE ISSUES THAT ARE NEVER FIXED OR FOUND! I HAVE CONTACTED GM TO GET THE RUN AROUND FOR WEEKS THEN FINALLY BE TOLD NOTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THEY AREN'T PREPARED TO DROP THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT MAY COST $4000. IF I GET HURT IN THIS VEHICLE IT IS GOING TO COST A WHOLE HECK OF A LOT MORE THAN THAT! I DO NOT WANT THE ENGINE DROPPED I AM FILING A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT AND WILL CONSIDER A DEALER BUY BACK BUT I AM NOT DROPPING THIS BECAUSE I AM NOT IMAGINING THIS AS THE DEALER SAID... I HAVE READ SAME ISSUES ONLINE SO I KNOW I AM NOT THE FIRST WITH THE BUICK PROBLEM. THE CAR IS UNSAFE SO WE WILL JUST LET THE ATTORNEYS HASH THIS OUT! *JS
