VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STOPPED, THE CONSUMER TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. *SLC

WHEN VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. IT WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BY A SEMI TRAILER TRUCK, THEN CONSUMER'S VEHICLE HIT ANOTHER TRUCK. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THERE WAS NO DEPLOYMENT OF DRIVER'S SIDE OR PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAGS. VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

IN BAD WEATHER SITUATION, ICE GOT IN BETWEEN THE FENDER AND DOOR, CAUSING THE DOOR TO BE JAMMED. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

THE CAR SHOWS AN ANNOYING AND UNSAFE CONDITION WHEN IT IS DRIVEN AT THE SPEED LIMIT ON AN IRREGULAR BUT PROPERLY PAVED ROAD SURFACE. THE SHOCK ABSORBERS WILL ALLOW SEVERAL CYCLES FO BOUNCING BEFORE THEY DAMPEN OUT THE RESPONSE TO BUMPS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD TO STOP THE CAR IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL, OR TO PREVENT BOTTOMING OUT OF THE UNDERSIDE. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO A LOCAL BUICK SERVICE CENTER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS "NORMAL SOFT RIDE" AND DISMISSED. PURSUING THIS DIRECTLY WITH BUICK HAS YIELDED THE FACT THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ARE WORKING ON A FIX. THEY HAVE ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER ( 000013545) AND PROMISED TO ADVISE ME WHEN THE CORRECTIVE ACTION BECOMES AVAILABLE. IT SEEMSPRUDENT, HOWEVER TO DOCUMENT THIS WITH NHTSA. *AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHILE BACKING OUT RESULTING IN IT CRASHING INTO A STORAGE GARAGE. NLM

WHILE IN REVERSE VEHICLE SURGED REARWARD SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY,RESULTING IN A MINOR COLLISION. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK

SHOCKS IN REAR OF VEHICLE ARE UNSTABLE. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BOUNCE UP & DOWN, EVEN WITH PEOPLE IN THE FRONT & THE BACK. WOULD EVEN HAVE LUGGAGE IN THE TRUCK & VEHICLE WOULD BOUNCE. WOULD HAVE A CONTROLLING PROBLEM IF NOT SLOWING DOWN. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER & WAS INFORMED BY MECHANIC THAT PROBLEM IS NORMAL. *AK

POSSIBLE COMPUTER PROBLEMS CAUSED OIL PRESSURE GAUGE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE, LOSS OF POWER AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. *NLM
