AFTER HAVING A GM DEALER (ROBERTS-ROBINSON BUICK GMC - EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, MO.) REPAIR THE FACTORY RECALL KEY ISSUE. THE CAR STILL STALLS AT HIWAY SPEEDS. WAS TOLD IT WAS THE "POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE", FINALLY, AFTER 3 VISITS TO THE DEALER. I'VE READ HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON-LINE WITH OWNERS OF BUICK PRODUCTS SIMILAR OR THE SAME HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS WOULD SEEM TO BE A VERY SERIOUS HEALTH HAZZARD. ALTHOUGH MY DEALER HAS DONE ALL THEY COULD AND HAVE BEEN VERY ACCOMODATING, IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO ALL THAT IS HAVING OR HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM TO GET HELP FROM GM SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY WIDE-SPREAD & COMMON PROBLEM.

DRIVING ALONG WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WARNING CAME ON, AND CAR SLOWED ALMOST TO A STOP, GOT MESSAGE ON DASH THAT TRACTION STABILITY WAS A PROBLEM. PROBLEM WENT AWAY AND SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, CAR SLOWED DOWN ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY, HAD TO LEAVE THE ROAD , THE PROBLEM BECAME MORE OF A PROBLEM AS THE MONTHS WENT BY, TOOK TO THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE SENSOR, IT MAY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE KEY PROBLEM, WHICH WAS CORRECTED BY THE DEALER SO FAR SO GOOD. NOW THE DOOR LOCKS ARE FAILING, REAR PASSENGER WAS THE FIRST TO GO, NOW FRONT LOCKS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS BUICK I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER 50,0000 MILES ON THE CAR. *TR
