NHTSA Complaint #10583893 — 2012 BUICK LACROSSE

THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES IN THE 17,000 MILES NOW ON THE VEHICLE. EACH TIME I WAS DRIVING ON OR OFF A RAMP. SPEED ESTIMATE 30 TO A MAX OF 40 MPH. THE CAR STARTS TO DIE AND I HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO GET OFF TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD SO VEHICLES DO NOT HIT ME FROM BEHIND. IT JUST LOSES ALL POWER BUT DOESN'T QUITE STALL. ONCE I PULL OVER, TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, THE ENGINE RECOVERS AND HAS RAN FINE. I DO BELIEVE I CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF THE "RED LIGHT" THAT CAME ON 4/11 AS I WAS GOING UP A RAMP TO MY DOCTORS OFFICE. THE LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON ALL THE WAY BECAUSE THE CAR AND NEVER TOTALLY DIES.........IT APPEARS TO BE A CAR WITH SWERVE MARKS BEHIND. I TOOK THIS CAR IN THE SAME WEEK ON 4/07 AND THEY SAID THE CAR IS OPERATING "AS DESIGNED" AND COULDN'T LOCATE ANY PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS TO RUN GREAT EXCEPT FOR THE 4 MISHAPS AND IT REALLY SCARES ME THAT SOMEDAY I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD OR A CAR WILL HIT ME FROM BEHIND. THERE HAS TO BE A PROBLEM. I DON'T DRIVE FAST AND I AM DEFINITELY NOT SKIDDING AROUND THE RAMP. AT AGE 61 I MIGHT NOT BE DOING THE SPEED LIMIT EVEN. HELP ME? *TR
