2011 BUICK LACROSSE Steering Problems

When going around town or on the highway the steering wheel will start shaking badly and when going to break even after the breaks have been changed the parking break will not stay on and the steering wheel will start shaking horribly to the point where your might crash your car I have had the car looked at multiple times by different manufacturers dealerships and auto shops and they all say to Change the breaks I tell them that I had them changed by Buick and Chevrolet of Dan Cummins where I had got the car and they done the same thing over again as when I bought the car

Car lost all steering while driving down the road

STABILITRACK SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON

WINDOWS WILL NOT DEFOG AC BARELY RUNS TOOK IT IN TO A SHOP TO GET A RECHARGE BUT STILL NOTHING. MY SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH LIKE A ROCKING CHAIR ON DRIVER SIDE. I ALSO HAVE PICTURES AND VIDEOS BUT DON'T KNOW HOW SEND COPY PASTE THE LINK TO YOU...

WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION AND INTITATING A TRN ON A CITY STREET, THE ENGINE STOPPED AND LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THE ENGINE HAD TO BE JUMPED AND A ROD KNOCK SOUND OCCURRED. THE ENGINE LATER SIEZED UP PERMANENTLY AT THE SERVICE CENTER. THE VEHICLE WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND OIL LEVELS WERE WITHIN NORMAL OPERATING RANGE. THERE WERE NO PRIOR INDICATIONS OF ENGINE TROUBLE.

STEERING FREEZES UP IN MOSTLY DAMP, WET DAYS WHEN DRIVING VERY SLOW INTO PARKING AREA'S.....STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKS...CANNOT MOVE WHEEL AT ALL....AFTER A MINUTE OR LESS, I HEAR A NOISE AND THE WHEEL IS UNLOCKED... HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER LAST TWO MONTHS , BUT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE PAST FEW WEEKS...I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR...

I WAS DRIVING DOWN OUR LOCAL EXPRESSWAY WITH OUR CHILDREN AND THE TILT STEERING LOCKING LEVEL GAVE WAY AND MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME UNSTABLE, MOVING ABOUT. LOST CONTROL OF TILT AND TELESCOPIC LOCKING ON THE WHEEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000. UPDATED 8/21/15*CN UPDATED 10/26/2017*CN

I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR ACCELERATED TOWARDS THE RIGHT TOWARDS A CURB ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND STEERING WHEEL AND CAR WHEELS LOCKED UP. I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEELS AND THE STEERING LOST ITS POWER BRINGING THE CAR TO SLAM INTO THE CURB. I HAD NO CONTROL OF STEERING OR TURNING THE WHEEL OF THE CAR. *TR

ATTEMPTED TO STOP FOR RED TRAFFIC LIGHT; APPLIED BRAKES BUT THEY FAILED TO STOP VEHICLE. CAR THEN ACCELERATED -- USED BOTH FEET ON BRAKE PEDAL UNSUCCESSFULLY. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP LAUNCHING CAR INTO VEHICLES PARKED IN A USED CAR DEALERSHIP LOT. *TR

WHILE TURNING LEFT AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION, CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND GAINED SPEED/MOMENTUM WHILE AT SAME TIME STEERING WHEEL BECAME STIFF AND VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN & DRIVER COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR. CAR DID NOT COMPLETE THE LEFT TURN BUT RATHER CONTINUED DRIVING AS IF ALL ON ITS OWN AND CRASHED INTO A HIGH CURB ON RIGHT SIDE OF CAR. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY; FRONT CAR PARTS SIMPLY CRUMBLED AND FELL OFF; SUSPENSION WAS RUINED; CAR TIRE WAS PUNCTURED ALONG WITH THE TIRE RIM BEING CRACKED CLEAR THROUGH IN A COUPLE OF AREAS. DRIVER WAS INJURED WITH HEAD INJURY, CRACKED RIB, AND BROKEN RT. FOREARM. CAR WAS TOTALED OUT BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR

HAVE HAD CONTINUED PROBLEMS WITH ADJUSTABLE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING MECHANISM THE DEALER HAS ADVISED THAT IT "IS THE WAY IT IS" RETURNED MULTIPLE TIMES . I WAS TO FIND A MAJOR SERVICE REPAIR ON LINE ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS THEN SUPPOSED TO BE REPAIRED...BUT WITHIN 5 MILES OF OUR HOME ON A TWISTING ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE LOCKING DEVISE!!!! I WAS TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR DUE TO THE WAY IT HAPPENED...WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND LOST CONTROL WENT OFF THE ROAD. I WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR..($40,000 +) DUE TO THE WAY IT IS NOW. THE DEALERSHIP..GM..WILL BE SENDING A TOW TRUCK TO RE SERVICE THE PROBLEM TODAY...(IF THE SAFETY PROBLEM IS CORRECTABLE ) THIS HAS BEEN A ON GOING PROBLEM AND DEALERSHIP SAYS 'THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE SEEN SUCH A PROBLEM" (IF SO..WHY A SERVICE BULLETIN...
