NHTSA Complaint #10577199 — 2007 BUICK LUCERNE

WHILE DRIVING AT 55-60 MPH IN 5:00 P.M. BATON ROUGE, LA TRAFFIC ON JOOR ROAD, I HEARD THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK, THEN THE ENGINE DIED, I LOST POWER INCLUDING STEERING, BRAKES, AND ALMOST CAUSED A TERRIBLE PILE-UP AS MY CAR STOPPED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAD NO ABILITY TO STEER, BRAKE, NO POWER. I WAS AT THE MERCY OF GOD AND THIS DEAD CAR, PRAYING THAT NO ONE WAS KILLED. I EVENTUALLY WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP. OTHER VEHICLES WERE ABLE TO MOVE TO OTHER LANES, ABANDONING ME TO THE RIGHT HAND LANE OF TRAFFIC. I CALLED ONSTAR AND THEY SHOULD HAVE THE RECORDING OF THE CONVERSATION, THE TERROR I WAS IN, AND THEIR INSTRUCTIONS. I HAVE 4 RECORDED INCIDENCES OF THE REPETITIVE NATURE OF THIS VEHICLE MALFUNCTION. I CAN PROVIDE DETAILS OF ALL INCIDENCES, FOLLOW-UPS WITH GM, AND EVENTUALLY HAVING TO PAYOFF THE PIECE OF "JUNK" AT A LOSS OF OVER $20,000. MY LAST GM PURCHASE. I HAVE SINCE BEEN DRIVING TOYOTAS. MY EXPERIENCES WITH GM MANAGEMENT WAS HORRIFIC. *TR
