2005 BUICK TERRAZA Electronic Stability Controlautomatic Asc Problems

I HAVE A 2005 BUICK TERRAZA WITH 20,000 MILES ON IT. RECENTLY WHEN THE TEMP HAS GOT COLD (30 DEGREES) THE SERVICE STABILITY AND THE SERVICE TRACTION LIGHTS HAVE CAME ON. AFTER I DRIVE THE VAN, THE NEXT TIME I START THE VAN THE LIGHTS ARE USUALLY GONE BUT THEN WHEN I HAVE BEEN DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A DRY ROAD AT ABOUT 45 MPH OR SO AND HIT A BUMP THE VAN WOULD PULL, DECELERATE AND SWERVE FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THE SERVICE STABILITY LIGHT WOULD COME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND 5 CODES BUT THEY SAY THEY CAN'T HELP THEM FIGURE WHAT IS WRONG AND ALL THEY CAN DO IS DRIVE MY VAN AROUND UNTIL IT DOES IT AGAIN AND HOPE THEY GET A CODE THAT WILL HELP THEM. THE CODES WERE C0253/C0870/C0460/C0196/C0187. I FOUND OTHER PEOPLE ON...

FOR THE SECOND TIME, MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND MY "SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM" LIGHT APPEARED. LUCKILY, THIS TIME I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND NOT DRIVING AND WAS ABLE TO HAVE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, UNLIKE THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED. UPON EXAMINATION AT THE DEALER, FOUND TO HAVE A "MISSING" TRACTION CONTROL FUSE, WHICH WAS REPLACED, AND REGARDING THE "SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM" ALERT - FOUND THE YAW RATE SENSOR HAD AN INTERNAL FAILURE, WHICH WAS REPLACED. HOW MANY TIMES DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE BUICK WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND REALIZE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE? BUICK TELLS ME TO TALK TO THE DEALER; THE DEALER REFERS ME TO BUICK. APPARENTLY NO ONE CARES THAT I AM DRIVING AROUND IN A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE, UNLESS AN ACCIDENT AND PERSONAL INJURY OR WORSE OCCURS. THIS TIME I HAD A FRIEND AND HER SON IN MY...

NOTICED A GRINDING OR RUBBING NOISE IN THE REAR OF MY 2005 BUICK TERRAZA CXL. HAVE NOTICED TWICE THAT THE MESSAGE DISPLAY INDICATES SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND THE COMPUTER HAS NOT REGISTERED ANY INCIDENCE. WHAT, IF ANYTHING, CAN OR SHOULD BE DONE TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION? *JB

FOR THE SECOND TIME THE STABILITY TRACTION MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING MY TERRAZA. THE BRAKES SLAMMED ON BY THEMSELVES AND THE STEERING WENT OUT. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR. AFTER THE FIRST MALFUNCTION, BUICK WOULD NOT LET ME TERMINATE MY LEASE AND GUARANTEED ME THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. RELUCTANTLY, I AGREED TO KEEP THE CAR. GUESS WHAT, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I REFUSE TO EVER LET MY DAUGHTER OR I TO BE IN THE CAR AGAIN. EVEN THOUGH I PLEADED WITH BUICK'S CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT I AGREED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AFTER THE FIRST MALFUNCTION, ALTHOUGH VERY FEARFUL, WITH THEIR GUARANTEE IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN, IT DID. THEY WILL NOT TERMINATE MY LEASE THEY TOLD ME I WAS STILL OBLIGATED TO PAY FOR THE LEASE UNTIL THE TERM WAS UP AND IF I WAS TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT, THAT WAS MY PROBLEM. DOES SOMEONE...

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKES ENGAGED THREE TIMES WHILE GOING 60 MPH. EACH TIME, THIS HAPPENED THE ASC (AUTOMATIC STABILITY CONTROL) LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE'S ABS ENGAGED ONLY AT SLOW SPEEDS. TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A NEW COMPUTER IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE PROBLEM RECURRED, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE SENSOR WILL BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE TYPE OF SENSOR. UPDATED 7/5/2006 - *NM

YESTERDAY JANUARY 8, 2005 WE TOOK A TRIP TO A RELATIVES HOUSE IN PENNSYLVANIA. ON OUR WAY HOME AND LUCKILY FOR US IN THE TOWN WE LIVE IN, OUR TERRAZZA STARTED MAKE A SCREECHING NOISE AND THE BRAKES LOCKED BRINGING THE CAR TO A GRINDING STOP. IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO US. THE CAR COULD NOT BE DRIVEN EVEN A FEW FEET,THE DISPLAY PANEL SAID "STABILITY CONTROL ACTIVE". WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE CAR BEHIND US WAS ABLE TO SWERVE OUT OF OUR WAY OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED 30 MINUTES BEFORE AND WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I KNOW SINCE I WAS IN THE CAR, I BELIEVE WE WOULD NOT BE ALIVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS INCIDENT. WE CALLED ON-STAR BUT THEY...

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY SWITCHING LANES ON DRY PAVEMENT, CLEAR DAY, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM OR THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO RAPIDLY DECELERATE AND SWERVE TO THE LEFT. IT HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AND SHE CALLED ME CRYING SAYING SHE DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE THE CAR. I DID NOT TAKE HER SERIOUSLY, UNTIL SHE WENT OUT OF TOWN AND THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME TO ME ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS TRACTION CONTROL OR STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM HAS A PROBLEM AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I TRIED TO DISENGAGE THE SYSTEM BEFORE DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE HORN IS HARD TO PUSH AND CAUSE THE HORN TO MAKE A SOUND. WITHOUT A HORN, THE CAR IS NOT SAFE. *NM
