2007 Buick Lucerne Engine Problems

“This car just shuts down while driving. This is very serious as you lose your power steering and brakes. It has happened 3 times in the last month. Someone is going to get killed!

It started and ran a few days and did it again. It now did it a third time. It throws no codes on the car so it is very difficult to diagnose. I have seen numerous other people have this problem.

Other vehicles were able to move to other lanes, abandoning me to the right hand lane of traffic. …”

In a letter dated september 2014, I was notified to contact my dealer and parts were now available for GM recall 14299.
