What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 buick terraza. While driving 5 MPH and attempting to make a right turn, the steering wheel and brake pedal seized. Also, the ABS and traction control indicators illuminated. The contact lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a fire hydrant. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer (ron smith buick GMC 1900 auto center drive, merced, ca 95340), but the cause of the failure could not be determined.
There are several defects that I am experiencing with this van. These issues escalated this weekend, the traction control and system stability indicators came on again and caused the brakes to lock I changed the brakes because I thought that was the cause it was not. Also the rear sliding doors will open while driving on their own. This van has been in the shop at lou fusz saint louis, mo several times and it is still not operating.
