All Structureframe And Members Complaints
1) DRIVING ON SMOOTH PAVEMENT AT 35MPH, SUDDEN AND HARSH THUD WAS FELT VEHICLE VEERED OUT OF IT'S TRAFFIC LANE, STEERING THE VEHICLE WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. OPERATED BRAKE TO STOP VEHICLE. 2) INSPECTION REVEALS BOTH REAR ENGINE CRADLE MOUNTING BOLTS FAILED, DROPPING ENGINE/TRANSAXLE ONTO STEERING COLUMN, STEERING GEAR BEING PULLED AWAY AND NEARLY SEPARATED FROM STEERING COLUMN. 3) INITIAL INSPECTION DETERMINES VEHICLE MINIMALLY NEEDS REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE CRADLE BOLTS, REPLACEMENT OF DAMAGED SWAY BAR LINKS. REPAIRS PENDING. THIS FAILURE IS SIMILAR TO RECALL OF BUICKREGAL 1988-1991, FORD TAURUS/MERC SABLE 1987-1995 AND OTHERS... *TR
92 BUICK LASABRE, BRAKES HAD TO BE APPLIED HARD TO AVOID ACCIDENT, HOWEVER WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR BECAME COMPLETELY UNCONTROLLABLE. AT THE SAME TIME, THE BRAKES FADED TO NOTHING. FINALLY HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION, THE A FRAME HOLDING THE MOTOR HAD RUSTED THROUGH, THIS CAUSED THE STEERING TO BE DISABLED, AS WELL AS THE BRAKE SYSTEM, ASIDE OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AS MENTIONED. BY THE GRACE OF GOD, THERE WAS NO INVOLVEMENT WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND WHEN I SEE OTHER BUICKS OF THE SAME MODEL, I WONDER HOW SAFE THEY ARE TO BE ON THE HIGHWAY. IN MY CASE THE SPEED WAS ABOUT 30 MPH, IF THE SPEED WOULD HAVE BEEN 55 OR 60, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED, NOT ONLY TO MYSELF BUT ALSO...
