Consumer Description

CAR STALLED OUT TWICE, LOST POWER STEERING. I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING LOT SPACE; RESTARTED AND THEN STALLED WHILE PULLING ONTO STREET. FEAR IS IT STALLING IN TRAFFIC AND GETTING REAR-ENDED. I TOOK TO GARNER BUICK WHERE HAD PURCHASED NEW. WHEN CAR WAS RELATIVELY NEW AND STILL ON WARRANTY HAD HAD SIMILAR ISSUE, BUT DEALER NEVER FOUND PROBLEM. NOW OCCURS AGAIN. THEY FOUND TWO SENSORS THAT FAILED BUT OK NOW SO TOLD ME TO DRIVE OVER WEEKEND AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I SEE THIS AS A BIG SAFETY PROBLEM AND AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. BUICK SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE IF THIS HAPPENS, BUT IN THE MEANTIME I AM THE ONE INJURED.
