My power steering went out so my mechanic checked it out and said my pump went out so I bought a new power steering pump and pulley had it put on and that didn't fix the problem. The next day I went out of town to visit family and my car caught on fire due to the power steering fluid leaked all out on the motor and got hot enough to catch on fire. then my ignition stoped going all the way in park so I would have to disconect my battery cables so that it wouldn't run my battery down. The car wouldn't go all the way up in park making the ignition key wouldn't turn back far enough to shut my car off and lights

The car cuts off whwn you're driving it without warning. I have had the crankshaft position sensor replaced two times and it continues to fail. There are even reports in the internet that list this as a problem with this vehicle. I am afraid that someone will hit me from the rear and cause me injury or death. I am about to have this sensor replaced for a third time. It's absolutely ridiculous that I have to keep spending money out of my pocket for the same thing over and over again. This incident is a continual problem. It doesn't matter if you're stopped or driving it just happens out of the blue with no warning.

Aluminum v8 engine leaking oil profusely. Now getting smoke and odor while driving. My concern is that oil is leaking on to the hot exhaust manifold and could possibly ignite. I suspect engine bolts need to be retorqued which would necessitate engine removal to accomplish. This is a major design flaw which needs correcting. Leaks occur during all phases of operation. The leaks first became evident several years ago and have progressively worsened since.

While passing a vehicle, accelerator immediately accelerated the vehicle to over 115 MPH quickly, and the speed continued to climb. Could not deaccelerate. Both feet on the brake, no luck, shifted to 1st gear, no luck, pushed many buttons on steering wheel, no luck, accepted the fact that this was going to be a high speed deliberate rollover. Finally at the last possible moment, throttle disengaged.

I am writing a complaint to inform you about my 2006 buick lucerne, VIN number [xxx]. It has a defect. The car has been accelerating at various times. Also, the car has turned off twice while I was driving. The first time was while I was driving in the parking lot at my job and the second time was on may 24, 2017 as I was just starting to pass the blinking lights. I really feel that the car is no longer safe to be driven after the recall in 2015. I honestly would like the problem fixed as soon as possible for my safety and the safety of others. This car is unsafe and I would prefer to have the value of the car instead of the car being repaired. The car was supposedly fixed after the recall and the same problem is still happening. It is my opinion that this car cannot be repaired. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

This 2006 lucerne engine shuts off while in motion without warning. It has shut off four times this year and two times last year. The last time it shut off, was april 11, 2017 5:00 pm central standard time on a busy city street. My wife is not strong enough to steer this car when the engine shuts down. When she had restarted the engine she was so nervous until she accidentally turned the wrong way onto a busy by-pass.
