NHTSA complaint #10817489, filed 2016-01, 33,000 miles

“Purchased this vehicle january 2015. At this time I now have 73000 miles on it. While driving the wrench and lightening bolt flashes on and off really fast multiple times and the car began to jerk. It only lasts a few seconds but now it keeps doing it and im scared it will cause an accident. I took it to my local Buick dealership and they said no codes were found, but my battery test failed so I paid for a battery replacement. However the battery that was replaced was only a year old! Even with the battery replaced it still happens and we cannot figure out why. …”

“The side detection monitor kept saying needed to be service, then it progressed to it not turning off, and now all of the gauges on my dashboard states that it needs to be serviced: airbag, theft deterrent system, and the tire monitor system. In addition the heat will turn on and off and so is the radio.”

“A warning that says service stabili trak appears at the same time it feels like someone is grabbing the steering wheel. The control screen where the radio is blacks out completely also. It lasts from a split second to several seconds but it renders the driver helpless to control the vehicle. This happens while driving straight, turning, brightening headlights, using electronic window buttons...or just while driving and using nothing else. …”

“I've only had the vehicle a year some change. Parking break light comes when I turn the car off and goes away once I put it drive or reverse. Power steering locks on me when turning especially on the highway which is so dangerous. Also so many electrical problems with the computer in the vehicle that cause the door to lock and unlock on its own when I try to put on my fog lights the engine may rev up”
