2005 Buick Terraza Steering Problems

“As we were driving home in may of 2014 the left front brake grabbed as if I had applied the brake,since then we have had both wheel bearings replaced lower ball joints and tie rod ends but nothing has changed. It has grabbed several times since then,this is a serious matter that should be dealt with, I refuse to let my wife drive the van especially when we have our five children with us because when this occurs it jerks the to the left towards oncoming traffic.”

“Randomly, while driving the ABS system activates the brakes, pulling the car to one-side. If my memory serves me correctly, it pulls to the right. After this happens, the car's traction control active message appears on the instrument panel. Parking the car, turning it off, and restarting the car causes the message to go away. This has happened about 4 times in the past 3 weeks at speeds varying from 5-35 miles per hour. I fear that it could be potentially dangerous if this were to happen at higher speeds.. …”

“After making several turns to exit a parking lot I stopped at a stop sign at an exit, proceeded to cross westbound traffic and as I neared the median to turn onto the east bound lanes my steering wheel became locked with the car in motion. I headed straight through the median across one lane of east bound traffic and partially through the second east bound lane. Heading straight toward a construction site I gave the wheel a turn to the left as hard as I could. Key ring flew into the window, regained control of vehicle. Engine cut out. Coasted to a safe place and pulled aside. …”

“Buick Terraza just shuts down while driving (at various speeds) or stopped without warning. Everything shuts down with display stating, starting disabled, reduced engine power. I must try to get to the side quickly. After about 30 seconds, the van restarts and continues for a while until it does the exact same thing again.”

“The ignition switch was disengaged when the van hit a bump while in motion on a highway. I was able to put it in natural and restart it but it was a very frightening ordeal. This has also happened on streets traveling 30 MPH.”
