BUICK Complaints

WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH MY 2011 BUICK REGAL WITH LESS THAN 48,000 COMPLETELY STALLED OUT. NO WARNING AT ALL. ALL THE LIGHTS WERE ON IN THE DASH INCLUDING A STABILI TRAC. LIGHT AND A MESSAGE THAT READ ENGINE POWER REDUCED. I THEN BLARED MY HORN AND CRUISED THRU THE INTERSECTION ON A RED LIGHT THANKFUL IT JUST TURNED RED AND OPPOSING TRAFFIC HADN'T STARTED ACROSS YET. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP THE CAR THAT HAD ABSOLUTELY NO POWER STEERING AND ABS WAS TURNED OFF AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES UNTIL MY NERVES CALMED DOWN AND RESTARTED THE CAR ALL THE LIGHTS WERE OFF EXCEPT THE ENGINE LIGHT. DROVE THE CAR HOME AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, WHO THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THEM. BY THAT TIME THE COMPUTER RESTARTED ITSELF AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, WITH THAT NO READING AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS LEFT BEING LOOKED AT AS IF I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO AND I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES SINCE THEN. WHEN IS BUICK GOING TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FINALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED FIRST? I'VE READ THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME CAR NUMEROUS TIMES ON NUMEROUS SITES...WHERE IS OUR HELP???? *TR

MY 2011 BUICK ENCLAVE ONLY HAS 57000 MILES ON IT. IT COST ME $1200.00 TO GET REPAIRED. THERE IS A "CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT" FILED AGAINST GM FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM.

I HAVE HAD A COMPLETE TUNE UP ALONG WITH A FUEL PUMP, CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, CAMSHAFT SENSOR, AIR MASS SENSOR AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE. I HAVE TRIED TO FIND OUT WHO ELSE HAS HAD THE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE MANY AND THE ONLY COMMON FACTOR IS THAT NO ONE HAS FOUND A RESOLUTION.
