The veh has a niose in the rearafter start up, sometimes it go away after driving for a while but it come back over and over again, I took it to the dealership they suggested I replace the controlled arm right and left and replace the steering sensor along with the thermostat and this will fix the problem the cost will be $1,500. Is this a recall problem.

I bought this vehicle in Feb. 2015. About a week after purchase I was going to work one night and the vehicle suddenly veered to the left and brakes locked. The stability light then came on. I pulled over and shut the van off and restarted it. No light was on then. About one month later it did it again. This time I was going about 50 miles ph. A car behind me almost hit me from behind due to the sudden stop.another month went by before it started doing it again. This time it veered into the path of a semi tractor trailer. I then called the dealership and they agreed to have it fixed. I got it back a week later and it still has the same issue. This problem is going to cause a major accident and hopefully no one gets killed!!!!!! Buick needs to recall these vans immediately.

- Carneys Point, NJ, USA
The check engine light has been illuminated as well as the traction control light is on (indicates ABS needs to be serviced) also transmission "slips" when moving forward. At times when both the engine light and ABS light are on the engine will reduce power. Transmission was replaced at 63,000 for the same thing! have had to numerous shops who cannot locate issue. The doors will not lock shut- they come forward and pop out and reopen. Must operate manually.

My vehicle is equipped with anti lock brakes. The same system is used for traction control and stability control. My vehicle is prone to brake sensor failures. Whenever one of the sensors fails the onboard diagnostic system disables all 3 of these safety features. I currently have the third sensor failure since I have owned the vehicle.
