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 REPORTED MANY TIMES AS WELL TO THE MANUFACTURE AND THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT BUT COME UP WITH EXCUSES TO THE OWNERS LIKE MYSELF. DO SOMEONE HAS TO BE KILLED BEFORE A RECALL IS DONE? I MYSELF IS GOING TO TAKE MY VIDEO I HAD FILMING ON MY WINDSHIELD WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCURRED AND SEND IT TO ALL THE MAJOR NEWS MEDIA GROUPS IN THIS COUNTRY AND PUT IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL. THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING MY COMPLAINT, AND HOPEFULLY THE GOVERNMENT MAKE BUICK THE MANUFACTURE DO A SAFETY RECALL ASAP. I CAN'T UPLOAD MY VIDEO BECAUSE IT'S OVER THE MAXIMUM SIZE ALLOWED TO UPLOAD ON THIS WEBSITE.

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 PRESSING THE BRAKE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL KICKED IN ON DRY PAVEMENT WHILE I WAS GOING LESS THAN 30 MPH. I HAVE HAD MY 4 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED AND HAS SCARED THEM AS WELL AS MYSELF AND MY HUSBAND. THIS VEHICLE IS OUR MAIN FORM OF TRANSPORTATION.

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 THE OTHER LANE OF THE INTERSTATE. I STEERED AS BEST I COULD, BUT IT FELT LIKE SUGGESTING A DIRECTION MORE THAN DRIVING. EVERYTHING WAS MUSHY AND THE TRAILER WANTED TO KEEP GOING. WE PITCHED LEFT AND RIGHT TWICE. THE PANEL SAID THAT THE 'STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM ACTIVE.' I MANAGED TO STEER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND STOP. I BREATHED AND PRESSED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS. THE KIDS ASKED WHAT HAPPENED, AND I MANAGED TO SAY THAT WE ONLY TOOK A YEAR OFF OF MY LIFE, SAVED THEIRS, AND ENDED THE LIFE OF THIS VAN. A MILE AHEAD, THE INTERSTATE WAS RESTRICTED TO ONE LANE GOING EACH DIRECTION.

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.
