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.

Initially the auto hesitated and then accelerate. Reported to dealer on 09/18/06. Mileage was 7,291.. Then the auto would stall when driving at various speeds, at one time at 60 MPH on the garden state parkway. Various fixes by the dealer failed to stop the problem. Have all documentation. In touch with gm on 06/13/2014 and advised to again bring back to the dealer. (kerbeck buick atlantic city nj.). The gm rep (([xxx]?) then said go to another dealer if not satisfied. Going to dealer on next week. Please advise.

Car died while driving it. Lost power steering and brakes. Had car towed to dealer. It was diagnosed as having a faulty ignition module. I was lucky I was not on a highway at high speed. Given the company recalls on ignition parts on other name plates, it is likely that the buick's are also seeing ignition problems and failures but gm has not issued a recall for this car platform. I hope that no one is seriously injured or killed before this defective part is recalled. I consider myself lucky. Updated 10/16/14
