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. This is a very serious issue!!! I'm surprise no one has been involved in an accident and been killed. I also notice this has been...

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 buick terraza. While driving 5 mph and attempting to make a right turn, the steering wheel and brake pedal seized. Also, the abs and traction control indicators illuminated. The contact lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a fire hydrant. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer (ron smith buick gmc 1900 auto center drive, merced, ca 95340), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 84,000.

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.

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. *Tr

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. *Tr

On may 2, 2013, about 10am, I was on my way home. The steering wheel suddenly out of control and my car hit on a car park on the street side with none inside. My car had severe damage and cost about $10,000.00 To fix. The other car I hit on had medium damage. The air bag pop out with a lot of dust and it was flat. A lot dust blow on my face. The air bag had no air at all. It was all flat. The steering wheel had been kind of tight and difficult to turn for three years. I thought it was normal for the big vehicle...

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.. ...

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 buick terraza. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 mph, the steering wheel became extremely difficult to maneuver. The contact lost control of the steering wheel and crashed into another vehicle. The vehicle was towed from the scene. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed.

As I took off from a stop light, the van jerked so hard , it felt as if it was hit from behind. The next light within 5 miles, the same thing from a stop. A few days later it was much worse and the service stability control system code came up. After having it checked( immedialely), there was no code found in the vans computer. It didn't show that it ever came up. This could be fatal, especially at high speeds. When the code comes up and a mechanic can't get a reading to address the problem. Doesn't that indicate a problem ?

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 buick terraza. The contact was driving approximately 40 mph when the steering wheel involuntarily steered the vehicle into the right lane. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, but they were unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 43,000.

The power steering rack failed, making it difficult to control/steer the vehicle at low speeds. I have since heard this referred to as "gm power steering syndrome." It is a common problem of gm cars where the valve in the power steering rack has problems. The power steering fluid cannot get through, particularly at low speeds, making it very difficult to steer. (At higher speeds - when the accelerator is depressed - there is extra pressure forcing the fluid through, so it is a bit easier to steer at higher speeds. The valve failure resulted in failure of the rack, pump, and whole system.

It is probably a shorter list to list what we haven't had trouble with , but here goes. 1. The back power sliding doors will open and shut at will. Driving down the road, parted in the grocery store parking lot, etc. The neighborhood kids regularly come over to tell me my doors are open. My husband almost missed a flight because he spent to much time trying to fight with the door to stay shut. They have replaced almost every part of the doors several times, but was told by the dealership that last time I took it...
