“1993 Buick Lesabre - the motor-transmission mount failed at the point of accelerating from and intersection. The rear of the mount dropped to the pavement resulting in a complete loss of steering and braking. Diagnosis by the Buick dealer making the repair is that this failure is due to rust. The car was originally sold in rochester, michigan. I am the second owner in northwest ohio. Due to both states and areas using road salt, the mount failed. …”
NHTSA complaint #10235132, filed 2008-07, 113,140 miles“While turning a corner, the rear engine cradle dropped to the pavement, causing a loss of fluid and steering. A collision with a vehicle in the opposite lane was narrowly missed. This situation srose with virtually no warning other than a slight difficulty in steering shortly before the incident occurred. The failure of this component was immediate and catastrophic, and I find it unconscionable that general motors has not addressed this problem, especially in light of the fact that the dealer told me that a recall was made to other Buick models for the same problem. …”
