2008 intermittently and unexpectedly shuts off while driving. No matter the speed. Sometimes 30mph on the street, sometimes 70mph on the expressway. Sometimes it starts right back up, sometimes it doesnt. No one seems to know why. Cars cost too much to be playing guess the problem!! Take to dealer at $100. A visit for them to guess and ultimately not fix the problem. Because a week later the vehicle is doing the exact same thing you took it in for. I just wish someone new what the real problem was. Very disappointed in gm. This vehicle has had so many problems, but it's supposed to be low end luxury. It's dangerous and I guess people have to start dying and a class action lawsuit against gm will happen before anything is done.

While driving 60 MPH on the interstate in bumper to bumper traffic, my car went into limp mode. Rpms were high and I had to pull over from the fast lane with tractor-trailers driving around me after researching the issue, it seems this has been seen in alot of cars. This is a dangerous defect that needs to be resolved. I hope no one dies to make the manufacturer resolve this issue. The mechanic said this was a known issue with this vehicle. Recommended a transmission replacement. In fact, there were two other buick/gm cars with the same issue waiting to be worked on. The codes were p0776, p0796 and p0700.

I have had continuous problems over the last year with the stabilitrack system going off and it telling me to service stabilitrack. However, now my transmission is going out and I have a car that I owe way too much for and can't afford to get the transmission fixed. On top of the transmission my ignition only works part of the time. There is no point in replacing the ignition if the transmission is gone. I have already replaced the motor on the windshield wipers but apparently the previous owner had the motor replaced during the recall so I had to pay out of pocket for that. Not to mention spending over $200 just to get my headlight bulb replaced at a shop because its not simple enough to just take the cover off and replace the bulb. This car has been nothing but a money pit. The transmission has been acting a little strange like occasionally not wanting to shift one day and then being fine the next. The other day I was driving and it wouldn't shift, rev"d up to 4000 RPM and wouldn't go over 40 MPH. I'm at the point where I can not afford to continue to pay full coverage insurance plus my car payment on a car I cannot drive.

We where driving the other day, lost all power to dash cluster. Found water in fuses under glove box on passenger side. Dried out and got power back; but not ABS light is on and if it goes off we lose all brakes. The traction control and stabilitrak say service and we lost our back up camera as well.

Vehicle was purchased used in 2010. First had problem while sitting still at a red light. Alarm bell rings stating stabilitrak traction contorl service, power door locks and unlock, speedometer moves out of control. When we try to drive power is slow and engine pulls hard, check engine light comes on. We took it to dealer and they kept it for a couple of days but could find nothing wrong. This happens every 3 to 4 months sometimes longer. When vehicle is turned off it seems to reset itself. This seems to be a gm problem as I have looked online and found several other vehicles all having the same problem with there never being a fix for it. This always happens when sitting still with foot on break at redlights in the city. [xxx]. These are just a couple of sites where people have stated the same problem all gm vehicles.

This car is a mess. It didn't pass the state emission test sticker. The traction control system in conjunction with the stability track control system. Are bringing up a check engine light with error code p0174 and p0171. Every time those system showed up in the instrument panel I got a follow up check engine light. I don't know what the problem is and two gmc buick dealer have said different fix method. Very back for me. They want to fix different problems. They don't know what the real problem is. They are guessing.
