My car would not start and the malfunction indicator light was illuminated. The battery was charged and I took it for a ride then turned the car off. It would not start again. Waited until the next day and it started it again but there is hesitation in starting. It seems like this is the same thing that is listed as a recall but my VIN is not included.

My vehicle stalled out while I was on the express way. Then it would not start without a jump. Check engine light came on along with traction control light. Computer put out a code p062f. Now I have to get a jump almost every other day.

The issue I'm reporting has already happened approximately 8 times. First time I'm driving on the highway at 65 MPH, and engine on car completely shuts down, driving wheel locks or power steering gets lost and brake pedal stops working gets very stiff and all this happened on a state highway. All that can be done is let the car come to a complete stop in its own all while using all my force to try my best to steer car away from traffic, because it locks and that time I could barely make it turn slightly due to the stiffness. After that, the car's engine wont start but lights and radio work. After constantly turning it in and off engine finally starts up after approximately an hour, but when placed on drive only moves very slow even when stepping on gas it will move at about 1 MPH. I turn it off and on several time and then when I finally step on the gas it jerks me forward finally when on drive....

Since I purchased the car in june, 2012, there have been three (3) incidents where there was a gradual loss of battery charge, the vehicle would not start, and the illumination of the malfunction indicator light comes on. The most recent incident was this past saturday, on november 16, 2013. My car is also equipped with e-assist. I do not know if there is a problem with the generator control module, or similar device. Each time a certified buick repair service claim they cannot find anything wrong with the vehicle. Thanks god I have always been in a safe place when this has occurred, and so far there has been no fire in the trunk of my car, which I understand might occur. Thanks for all of your assistance in regards to this urgent matter. Updated 12/16/13

Car was parked in garage for 10 hours. Found with all lights inside and out flashing. Remote entry didn't work. Car wouldn't start. Key stuck in ignition. Overhead light and wipers turned on and off on their own and were making a clicking sound. Trunk popped open on its own, then when shut wouldn't open again with the latch over license holder. Onstar didn't work and when called they couldn't "find" my vehicle for diagnostics. Called for a jump start- jumped with battery pack, started easily and ran 5 minutes then went completely dead as soon as unplugged from power supply. Would not restart. Towed to dealer who is telling me they cannot find anything wrong with my vehicle. I will not be taking this car back until it is fixed. Huge safety concern. Couldn't set parking brake or get onstar or even get key out of ignition while all lights flashed and clicked around me- seemed like an electric or wiring problem to me which can be a fire hazard and what if I'm driving down the road at 70mph and all electric goes dead- steering and all. I have e-assist and second battery doesn't help when don't have power to transfer power. I have had car only for one year brand new.
