Consumer Description

I purchased the buick regal new in Feb 2016. After about two years, it skid on a perfect road surface in a perfect weather, the traction control light and the engine light came on, but disappeared after 30 seconds or so. The problem was scary enough that I brought the car to a neighborhood dealership to see if there was any safety recall for that issue. There was none. The replaced a sensor or something to fix the problem. It has not happened again until two weeks ago. Exactly the same thing happened, skid briefly on a perfect road surface in a perfect weather condition, skid light and the engine light came on, but disappeared after a minute. I brought back the car to the dealership and asked them find the original record for fixing the problem. But, they insisted it was not the same issue, this time it was my old tires that caused the problem. I got all my tires and brakes replaced, but still experienced the same problem. Given severity of the safety hazard, now I am afraid to drive the car. I could easily been in an accident if there were more cars around during either of the skidding incidents. I am surprised there was no report from other car owners. I could not be the only one experienced this problem. Very serious safety hazard for sure.
