2015 Buick Lacrosse Steering Problems

“I was driving on the highway at approximately 70 miles an hour when my power steering went out. With great difficulty I was able to move across lanes and get to an exit. I drove to the nearest Buick dealer who said they were too backed up to help. While at the Buick dealer I turned the engine off. When I turned the engine back on, the power steering was working again.”

“While driving around 65 MPH on a highway. The battery light went on. Then suddenly the power steering and brakes died. It was very scary. A hugh safety issue, this very easily could have lead to a serious accident, crash or death. The steering was very difficult to turn and the brakes hard to push down. But the car was still running and luckily I was close to a exit. I pulled off the highway and stopped in store parking lot. It would not start after getting there. I had to have it taken to a Buick dealership. It was also showing a air bag error message. …”

“My headlights continue to blow, my windshield wipers will not come on. My radio goes out and on. When starting my car using push start my car stall. Hesitate to start but finally starts after so many tries. I have had to jump start car and recently had a battery replaced. Now the power steering is gone out. I can barely turn steering wheel., this happened while driving home from work. My dashboard is very dim. It went completely black a couple of times while driving when came back it's barely lit I can barely see gas gauge, or speed odometer.”

“While driving at approximately 55 mph, my power steering went out (at first I thought I had blown a tire). It became almost impossible to perform any quick/reactionary steering changes. I put on my hazards and drove to the dealership and then for a second opinion with my local trusted mechanic. Both advised the electronic steering assembly went bad, that there is a new part #, indicative of a high failure rate; however, the part is not available in all of North America (they checked.) they called GM Buick and were advised an ETA on the backorder for the part is unknown. …”
