| There are several defects that i am experiencing with this van. these issues escalated this weekend, the traction control and system stability indicators came on again and caused the brakes to lock i changed the brakes because i thought that was the cause it was not. also the rear sliding doors will open while driving on their own. this van has been in the shop at lou fusz saint louis, mo several times and it is still not operating. this is a safety issue i am lucky that i was not on the highway when the brakes locked up, unfortunately that is not the case with the doors. i cancelled a trip to the zoo with my kids because the doors opened on their own while on the interstate, they are now afraid to ride in the back seats. *tr | |||

| Bought a 2005 buick terreza in sept. 2009 39,500 mi. approximately 31 days after purchase stabily control sensor on drivers side front went bad. making the whole front end lock up. galpin ford who we bought buick from paid for lamb chevrolet to fix the sensor buick had 42,000. on it when went out. 30 days later same incident happened my front end locked up and on dash said stability control active stabilize stability system took back to lamb chevrolet and at that time they said wiring was faulty making sensor go out again so they rewired the buick this time plus replaced sensor for 2nd time. 7 months later once again front end locksup and same msg. stability system active take back to lamb chevrolet and same sensor for 3rd time has went bad they cant figure out why. this is a major safety issue and even if i was to pay to get fixed again its quite obvious it will go out again. it just a matter of when will it go out. while im driving down road going 65 with my 4 children thinking vehicle is repaired again and all sudden front end locks this vehicle will eventually end up killing myself or a passenger or inisent bystander.l i have reciepts for all repairs mainteance done on 1st complaint found online: i have had for the past seven months far outweigh the good. neither buick nor the dealer will do anything to compensate me for my loss of security in this vehicle. it the last and biggest problem was while driving on a major highway on a crowded saturday afternoon, the steering completely locked up, the traction control light and service stability system lights came on, i had no ability to steer, use the gas or brake, the van kept swerving from side to side 2nd complaint: is it ok to drive our 2005 buick terraza with the service stability system, abs and traction control light on? we are planning to drive ~ 1600miles on vacation. is it safe to drive the van with the service stability system, abs brakes and traction control system message on computer? | |||

| After having my car repaired & returned on 9/21/2010 my van starting repeating the same problem again on 9/24/2010. the problem is while driving at highway speed the abs engages causing the van to jerk & lurch narrowly avoiding a wreck. returned the van to the dealer for days, was told it was the yaw rate sensor which was replaced less than a week before. dealer agreed that it couldn't be that but was never able to find the problem. they cleared the code and returned the van on the 10/1/2010 without any repair being done. this the third time we have had this problem with gm. there must be a design problem that needs to be fixed before someone is killed in an accident. all removed parts were retained by the dealer. | |||

| Was driving at highway speed when the abs engaged on one side. the car jerked and lurched. my children & i were fortunate we didn't crash. once the abs released, the traction control engaged and then tripped out. service stability system message was then displayed. this happened repeatedly while awaiting the local dealer to have time work on van, i was told they were too busy to look at it even though this was an urgent problem. when they worked on the van they stated the yaw rate sensor needed replacing. item was replaced and van returned on 9/21/2010, cost approx. $500 on 9/24/2010 same problem presented. | |||

| The vehicle started to flash stability system active and at any given time, while driving down the road, the vehicle (on it's own) will engage the abs and slam on brakes while pulling to the left. after this happens, it flashes service stability system. this has happened numerous times in the last couple of days and if was raining, would have definitely caused a major accident or head on collision. | |||

| The traction control, stability, and abs warnings randomly appear and cause the car to slow down and the driver to take corrective action to appropriately steer the car. *tr | |||
