Buick Lesabre pulling problems

Filed Dec 19, 2009 · Brakes · 120,000 miles · PA

On december 12, 2009, I was driving down the road and made a right hand turn. At that time, my car made a loud noise (my husband thought I ran over a trash can) the brakes immediately came on and the car pulled to the right. I moved forward again and immediately the brakes came on again and pulled the right. The stability system activated came on. I had to drive very slow to get my car home and this happened the whole way. I was very close to my home. A computer has been put on the car and the codes don't make sense to the mechanic. The car was then towed to the garage, has been there since 12/17/09 and they can not figure out what is going on. If I would have been out on the highway we would have been killed. What auto co. Would put a system on your vehicle that would throw your brakes on for no reason.

Traveling from buffalo, n.y. To greensboro, ga. On route 77, just past beckley, w. Va., I noticed a vibration in the car and thought it was a patch of rough road and immediately, there was a load bang and as I looked in my rear view mirror, I noticed black strips flying behind me. The car became sluggish and was pulling to the right. I immediately pulled unto the shoulder and stopped. I checked the right rear tire and saw all the thread was gone and only the belt remained and the tire was still inflated. I called for a tow company and the driver showed me that all the electrical connections and the rear bumper and tire well were destroyed. I was towed to a gm dealer in beckley and they spliced the wires for a temporary fix and replaced the tires so I could get home. Once home, I had my gm dealer order the parts needed to fix the electrical problems. I also has a collision repair shop fix the damage to the exterior of the car.

The car feels very unstable, it wobbles and wanders at speeds over 40 MPH. It is made worse with winds over 10 MPH, going down hill, on an uneven surface, when a truck is passing and a speeds around 60-65 MPH. If all these symptoms come together the car is very very unstable. The feeling is very similar to going over a grooved road surface.
