On 10/6/2020, I was riding as the front passenger in our 2013 buick verano. We were traveling on the highway (70 MPH) and hit a bump at the start of a bridge. A warning light illuminated, the engine RPM suddenly increased as if the transmission downshifted, the car decelerated and my wife pulled to the shoulder. We stopped, checked the gear shift and it was still in drive, the warning light disappeared, and everything seemed normal.

Making a left hand turn, wrench light came on, stabilitrak light came on, middle console went out and yanked the entire car to the right. Luckily both hands were on the wheel and no cars in the lane to the right, was able to keep the car in the lane barely. Stopped at the car wash, felt the car jump a bit. Drove another 3 minutes home and as I was backing into the my parking spot my middle console went out and came back on several times with approx 4 sec delays being off, cars power steering was off and on constantly, trying to turn the wheel to the left to pull forward a little the car kept jerking forward as I kept trying to turn left but the wheel kept acting like it was hitting a wall, the stabilitrak light kept flashing. Trying to turn it right and back up the middle console kept flashing and the wheel kept jerking. Finally got the car parked and the neighbor heard me on the phone and stepped out to ask if I was ok, when I was trying to park she heard a huge crash at that time and thought it was an accident of some sort. Today was the first day for all of this. The middle console has been flashing on and off for a few months and the stabilitrak light started coming on last weekend.

Purchased the car used from a reputable buick dealer with 84k miles on it. 7 days later, the check engine light came on while driving home from work. I immediately brought the car home to prevent further mechanical problems and noticed that when I put the car into park, the transmission felt like it dropped and it was hard to shift. I turned the car off, let it rest, and then turned it back on. This time, the check engine light came on again. I tried shifting the car into reverse and the "r" light on my dash began to flash. I put it into drive and the "d" began to flash. I tried to move the car forward and the car had almost now power. Each shift made the transmission feel as though it was dropping and it made a very loud noise. I had the car towed back to the dealer and was told that it is the transmission control module ($1100). This happened jjust 7 days after purchasing it, and less than 2 weeks after being inspected by the dealer.

The key has gotten stuck in the ignition several times. This prevents the car from moving and turning off completely. At one point the car began to roll as I was attempting to get out to get assistance. I was eventually able to go onto youtube and discovered the issue was consistent with the chevy malibu, so I used the same technique described in the youtube video to remove the key. The same issue occurred on the evening on february 21, 2019. The valet supervisor went to retrieve my car and was unable to remove the key out of the ignition and the car would not move into the park gear. I would move into drive, neutral and reverse but not park. I believe my car is also impacted under the following recall number:50490 and 50491. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I turned my car on and had both the front and rear defrost. I smelled something funny, so I turned the car off to investigate. I didn't see anything so turned the car back on and pulled back into the driveway and turned it off. Within a minute or two, the entire back driver- side door was in flames. I had to use a fire extinguisher to get rid of the fire. When the mechanic looked at it, he said he had never seen anything like that and guessed it may have been the circuit to the defroster and if I had not of gotten out of the car and turned it off, I could have been seriously injured or died because the car caught so quickly.
