Hello, I have a 2005 buick terraza cx awd. My abs and traction control lights came on and when it did the vehicle started to apply the brakes itself pulling the vehicle to the left while driving. I couldn't control the vehicle. I started reading up on this, and it appears many other owners of this vehicle been having this same unsafe problem over the years and no recall is been done.

At 90,900 mileage on my van, I started experiencing problems with my stability control, abs, and my traction control system. When driving at numerous speeds, the stability control system would kick in, would grab at my drivers side front wheel and make the van swerve to the left. On the instrument panel, it would say to "service stability control". This has happened when I was traveling at 40 mph, at 20 mph, and just starting to drive after taking a turn. This has also happened to me today to where I was...

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.

When driving, usually at highway speeds, one of the front brakes will automatically grip, making the nose dive and making it hats to maintain control of the vehicle. The message displayed says to service the stability control system, which we have done with no resolution. We have nearly gotten in wrecks.

The 2005 buick terraza is equipped with a gm stabilitrack system, which combines anti-lock brake, traction and stability control systems. I was driving this vehicle at 60 mph on a straight road during a dry, sunny day and fully loaded with camping gear, children, their computer games and my wife. The vehicle was pulling a small trailer. In an instant, the van lurched as the brakes engaged on their own. We lost 20 miles per hour in a second. We pitched forward in our seat belts, and the van swerved to the left into...

Heating and air conditioning system. I was getting very little heat and lots of cold air so I took it to the dealer to have it fixed. They said there was a broken door actuator and the computer module needed to be replaced. Very expensive. So they fixed the door so it would stay closed and block cold air. I believe they disconnected the module as well. So, now I have a little heat, but no air conditioning. The car is in very good condition and I have never had anything happen before in any car, even very old ones! I believe the parts must have been defective in order to fail. I live in northern new england and I need heat!

I recently bought this 2005 buick terraza cx. As per carfax the vehicle has been beautifully maintained. After a week of having my vehicle I will be driving around and the service traction control light comes on and the vehicle will screech on its breaks and pull to the right. I have taken it into the dealership where they replaced the sensor and a week later it continues to randomly brake when excellerating, or even turning. This has happened 3 times now. It is very scary driving down the road and all of a sudden your vehicle screeches to a halt and has the vehicle swerve.

Well it happened on date specified slide doors will not open nor will they open manually !! This is life or death ordeal since I can't seem get them open !!!

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. *Tr

During cruise on highway (i-95 in florida) while on vacation the left rear power sliding door became unlatched and warning chimes sounded repeatedly and interior lights illuminated, this occurred several times again on this trip there was an investigation by the nhtsa in 2008 report #ea07019 which determined no defect was present which would require a recall.
