Replaced battery numerous of times battery keep won’t stay charge . I have a recall on my car I believe the suspension is under recall as well.

I was driving on the 99 freeway when my car turned completely off! I could have been killed!!!!! The check engine light came on and service stabilitrak was on the screen. Then it would not start. There was no warning at all. I got it fixed (so I thought by one mechanic) and it happened again. So I took it to the Buick dealer and they fixed it(so I thought) and it happened again. It is now at the Buick dealership and they told me it is the control module on the computer and quoted me 996 dollars!!!! I looked up online and found that other people have had the same problem with their 2010 Buick Lacrosse. Seems to be a manufacturers defect and needs to be reported and recalled.
Would not start at all, once we got it started and headed down the road, the car shut off while driving. Very dangerous.
My buick lacrosse was handling just fine until I put a heavy piece of luggage into the trunk. I got back in the car and it wouldn't start. A message was on my dashboard saying there was a power steering problem. I was at the airport, so a tow truck driver was on the scene within minutes. The tow truck driver jumped my car. He handed me the trim cover that covers the battery. I'm not sure if he took it off, or whether it came off when I put the heavy suitcase in the trunk. I put the trim cover in the back of my car and drove off. The car then stalled when I put it in reverse to back into the driveway. It wouldn't start again, so I jumped it. It worked and I drove to my mechanic. Mechanic said my battery was fine. They checked the error messages. They couldn't figure out what was wrong so they sent me to a dealer. The dealer couldn't figure out what was wrong and said to come back if it happens again. For about two months the car would randomly not start or stall. Several days could go by with it working just fine. At first, when it stalled it was only when I had just started the car or put it in reverse. But then the vehicle stalled while I was driving on the interstate, at the top of a long hill, in a construction zone. I was able to coast down a half mile or so until I arrived at an emergency pull off zone. The power steering went out so the steering wheel was tight but workable. After pulling over, I tried starting the car again but it didn't work. I had a self jump start kit, and was able to jump the car again. It started back up and seemed like nothing was wrong. But about five minutes later it stalled again. Fortunately, I was by another emergency pull off. At this point, I put the trim cover back on the battery. And the car has worked fine for several months. The car should not start and then randomly stall if the trim cover is off.
I have been having problems where my car wont start, when trying lights rapidly blink, sometimes the radio and directionals wont work, and sometimes it cuts off while driving. My car is a 2015 buick lacrosse with 14k miles on it.
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.
