ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH I RAN OVER A ROAD BUMP AND MY 2008 BUICK LACROSSE SUPER SHUT OFF(STALLED). I COASTED TO THE BURM, HIT BRAKES TO A STOP. THE CAR STARTED ON THE FIRST TRY. CONTINUED MY TRIP WITH NO INCIDENCES. TOOK TO DEALER AND NO CODES SHOWED IN THEIR COMPUTER. CALLED GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER. NO BULLETINS. SCARY TO DRIVE. TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT THIS TIME BUT MAY NOT BE THE NEXT TIME. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE IN AT LEAST TWICE AT THIS TIME, AND I AM TAKING IT AGAIN TODAY FOR THE DASH LIGHTS DIMMING. AT NIGHT IT IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO READ THEM. YESTERDAY, IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL SET ITSELF AUTOMATICALLY, WITHOUT THE DRIVER TOUCHING A BUTTON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IN WHITE FOR SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE DASH LIGHT PROBLEM IS A "NORM". I DON'T THINK SO, EITHER YOU FIX THE PROBLEM, OR GIVE ME A NEW CAR. *TR

AIR BAGS
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT WAS EXPERIENCING EXTREME DIFFICULTY WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SYSTEM SENSOR. HE HAS A HEALTH CONDITION THAT HAS AFFECTED HIS HEIGHT AND USES A SEAT CUSHION IN THE VEHICLE. WHILE IN THE DRIVER SEAT, THE CUSHION IS FINE BUT WHEN HE RIDES IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, HE IS UNABLE TO USE THE CUSHION BECAUSE IT SETS OFF THE SENSOR AND DEACTIVATES THE AIR BAG. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE HE IS UNABLE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF HIS VEHICLE WITH A WORKING AIR BAG. THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. AS OF MAY 16, 2008, THE SENSOR HAS NOT BEEN DEACTIVATED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 200. UPDATED 06/16/08 *BF
