ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
WHILE DRIVING CAR WILL STALL OUT. I MUST PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO RESTART, WHICH IT ALWAYS DOES. BUT, IT STALLS WHEN I AM MAKING A TURN, WHEN I AM PROCEEDING DOWN A HIGHWAY OFF-RAMP, WHEN I AM SLOWING IN TRAFFIC. I SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. I KNOW OF AT LEAST TWO OTHER BUICK/GM OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD A NEW PART PUT IN, IT WORKED FOR A LITTLE WHILE, BUT THE SAME PROBLEM IS BACK. I NOTICED TWO OTHER INCIDENTS REPORTED WHEN I SEARCHED THE DATABASE FOR COMPLAINTS AND THAT WAS JUST FROM THE FIRST 29 LISTED - ODI ID#'S 986510 AND 533550. I BELIEVE IT IS A PROBLEM, A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT WARRANTS SOME TYPE OF INVESTIGATION. PLEASE HELP. I LOVE THE CAR, BUT AM AFRAID FOR THIS PROBLEM.*AK

THIS MAY OR NOT BE A PROBLEM. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DAMP AFTER A NIGHT OF RAIN,NO STANDING WATER ON TURNPIKE. TRAVELING AT 65 MPH USING CRUISE CONTROL ON STRAIGHT PART OF ROAD. AUTO SUDDENLY WENT INTO A REAR END SLIDE WHICH CONTINUED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT SLIDES . AFTER ABOUT 150 YARDS I DISENGAGED THE ABS SYSTEM AND REGAINED CONTROL OF THE CAR.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
SEVERE TREAD SEPARATION ON LEFT FRONT. OTHER THREE TIRES SHOWED START OF DETERIORATION. GOOD YEAR DEALER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND IMMEDIATELY REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES, ADJUSTING THEM AT 50% REAR AND 45% FRONT. IF DEFECT HAD NOT BEEN CAUGHT, SEVERE INJURY COULD HAVE OCCURRED. SINCE ALL FOUR TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE, I SUSPECT THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I HAVE DIGITAL PICTURES OF ONE DEFECTIVE TIRE.*AK (DOT NUMBER: M6X0BMWR50 TIRESIZE: P22560R16)
