2001 BUICK LESABRE Electrical System12v24v48v Battery Problems

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE IDLING AND EVENTUALLY FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FIVE OR SIX TIMES BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START. ONCE A YEAR, FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS, THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WERE REPLACED. CURRENTLY, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AND THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN.

THE WIRING THAT CONTROLS ALL THE ELECTRONICS; AIR BAGS, BATTERY, INSTRUMENTS, ALTERNATOR, AND LIGHTS FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 55 MILES PER HOUR BETWEEN TWO LARGE 18-WHEELED TRUCKS. IT IS JUST BY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT THE TRUCK DRIVER IN FRONT PRESSED HIS BRAKE LIGHTS BECAUSE HE SAW I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE CAR WHICH ENABLED ME TO MANUEVER AND PULL TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD. I AM PREPARED TO TRAVEL TO WASHINGTON, DC OR DETROIT OR ANYWHERE TO MAKE SURE THAT MY RIGHTS AND THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVING PUBLIC IS NOT JEOPARDIZED.*AK
