“We also are having problems with our 2005 Buick Terraza. Its been in the shop 3 times now due to the ABS/traction/stabilizer issues...and we only had this vehicle for about 2 months. In those 2 months its been a constant headache!! We have stuck alot of money in to this already, they kept telling me the wheel bearings are out, which after 2 sets of 2 new hubs, they should be fine. I didn't even leave the dealership and the light came back on. …”
NHTSA complaint #10410883, filed 2011-07, 82,000 miles“I was driving my 2005 Terraza with about 79,000 miles on dry, smooth city streets when suddenly the car started braking on one side and, I believe, tried to control the steering. This happened three times on three different streets on the same trip across town. Each time with the message stability control active . I drive these roads regularly and there was no reason for this to happen. I was driving slowly when at the first occurrence and was able to get the car stopped. …”
NHTSA complaint #10294293, filed 2009-12, 79,000 miles“I was involved in an accident and had front end damage. The air bag sensor and light are on indicating that the air bag deployed; however, it did not. We have also experienced electrical problems as well with the van. The sliding door chime comes on randomly when I we are driving. Work had to be done previously on the wiring. Occasionally I hear rattling noises from the front end of the vehicle when I drive. The van also shakes excessively when approaching speeds over 45-50 miles per hour when I put on the brakes.”
NHTSA complaint #10293615, filed 2009-11, 71,000 miles“Was driving at highway speed when the ABS engaged on one side. The car jerked and lurched. My children & I were fortunate we didn't crash. Once the ABS released, the traction control engaged and then tripped out. Service stability system message was then displayed. This happened repeatedly while awaiting the local dealer to have time work on van, I was told they were too busy to look at it even though this was an urgent problem. When they worked on the van they stated the yaw rate sensor needed replacing. Item was replaced and van returned on 9/21/2010, cost approx. …”
NHTSA complaint #10358959, filed 2010-10, 81,600 miles“After having my car repaired & returned on 9/21/2010 my van starting repeating the same problem again on 9/24/2010. The problem is while driving at highway speed the ABS engages causing the van to jerk & lurch narrowly avoiding a wreck. Returned the van to the dealer for days, was told it was the yaw rate sensor which was replaced less than a week before. Dealer agreed that it couldn't be that but was never able to find the problem. They cleared the code and returned the van on the 10/1/2010 without any repair being done. This the third time we have had this problem with GM. …”
