Consumer Description

PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED IN JULY 1997. SOMETIMES THE CAR'S ENGINE STOPS RUNNING FOR NO APPARENT REASON, LEAVING ME IN MOTION WITH NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL RE-START IMMEDIATELY, ONE TIME IT TOOK AS LONG AS SEVERAL HOURS. ALSO, OCCASIONALLY WHEN PARKED, THE CAR WILL CRANK, BUT NOT START AT ALL. SOMETIMES THE CAR STARTS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, SOMETIMES IT HAS TAKEN FOR AS LONG AS HALF AN HOUR. SEVERAL MECHANICS, INCLUDING MY LOCAL DEALER, HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. BUICK CUSTOMER RELATIONS WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY USEFUL ADVICE OR ASSISTANCE. THIS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.
