While driving down mountain & had downshifted into 2nd gear, vehicle lost all power. Engine had stalled out. Had no control of vehicle. Power brakes & power steering was not working. Had to use emergency brakes to stop. Took vehicle to dealer & mechanic ran a diagnostic test. Could not locate cause of problem.
Brakes are spongy; partially due to a racing engine, it takes more pressure to apply the brakes for what would be considered a routine stop. The engine has 'automatic cruise control' which distorts normal driving sensors. I drove a similar buick for a day and it didn't require me to brake frequently to avoid exceeding our condo area's speed limit.
Was driving on a steep hill & had foot on brakes. When foot was taken off brakes, vehicle rolled backwards. Took to dealership. Informed by mechanic brakes were designed like that. Currently, while driving on a hill would have one foot on brakes & the other foot on accelerator.
