ENGINE CUT OFF WITH NO WARNING SIGN, SYMBOL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. COASTED OFF THE ROAD, HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO MECHANIC. TOOK THREE QUARTS OF OIL TO REGISTER ON STICK. OIL AND FILTER WAS CHANGED ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO. AGAIN, NO LOW OIL PRESSURE, ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT, ETC. NO WARNING JUST STOPPED RUNNING. WAS ON A RURAL ROAD, HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE. THE MECHANIC SAYS THE ENGINE HAS LOST COMPRESSION AND RECOMMENDS A NEW MOTOR. DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER SAY NO WARRANTY LEFT ON THE VEHICLE AND NO RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN ISSUED.

I OWN A 2014 BUICK VERANO. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN MAY 2015. I NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH IT'S BREAKING SYSTEM ON 1/20/2016. I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, APPLYING THE BRAKES WITH MODERATE PRESSURE. BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN SNOWING EARLIER IN THE DAY, I SUPPOSE I WAS PRESSING DOWN HARDER THAN NORMAL. AS I WAS SITTING THERE, I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL SLOWLY MOVING TO THE FLOOR. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND REPEATED THE OPERATION IN A PARKING LOT. INDEED, SITTING STILL, WITH THE CAR IN PARK, THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUES TO SLOWLY MOVE TO A COMPLETELY DEPRESSED POSITION, RESTING ON THE FLOOR. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR 2/22/2016. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WAS DUE TO EITHER THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATION (WHILE SITTING MOTIONLESS?), OR THE BRAKE BOOSTER SLOWLY LOSING VACUUM (WHICH WOULD MAKE THE PEDAL RISE FROM THE FLOOR INSTEAD OF GOING TOWARDS IT). THE DEALER SAID 'THEY CHECKED OUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM', (SOMETHING I DON'T FULLY BELIEVE), AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY NORMAL. I INSISTED THAT THE DEALER BRING ANOTHER VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP, AND THEY COMPLIED. THE NEWER VERANO DID EXACTLY THE SAME THING. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS CAR, BUT I BELIEVE THE DESIGN OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS FLAWED. AT AN EARLIER POINT IN MY LIFE, I DID A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MAINTENANCE TO THE VEHICLES I OWNED. I HAVE NEVER CONSIDERED THE SITUATION WITH THE BUICK VERANO BRAKES TO BE A NORMAL CONDITION. I ASK THAT YOUR ENGINEERS TAKE A LOOK AT THIS SITUATION AND DETERMINE IF IT IS SAFE, OR NOT. I CERTAINLY DO NOT FEEL SAFE.

SAME ISSUE I SEE MULTIPLE GM OWNERS HAVING. SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AFTER MULTIPLE REPAIRS. HAVE HAD SENSORS REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE HAD TO EVERY YEAR AT LEAST IF NOT EVERY SIX MONTHS. INITIALLY UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NOW NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I UNDERSTAND VEHICLES HAVE ISSUES, BUT THE SAME ISSUES OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS NOT OKAY. I HAVE HAD WHERE IT SHORTS OUT MY ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING. I LITERALLY FEARED FOR MY LIFE. EVEN THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH GM SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM. IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. IT HAS NEVER BEEN LONGER THAN A YEAR BEFORE THE ISSUE COME UP AGAIN. I AM NOT EVEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES THE SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM CAUSES. EITHER I LOSE ALL ELECTRICAL IN THE CAR OR IT DRAINS THE BATTERY SO I CANNOT START THE CAR. I HONESTLY DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I ONLY SEE THE OPTION ONCE TO INDICATE WHEN IT HAPPENED, SO I WILL PUT THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL RANDOMLY FADE IN AND OUT AND SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS MOST EVIDENT IN THE POWER STEERING, RADIO CONTROLS AND AIR CONDITIONING.

NOTHING CAN BE IDENTIFIED AS A CENTRAL PROBLEM, BUT THE ISSUE STILL CONTINUES. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I LOOSE MY POWER STEERING WHILE TURNING.

A WARNING THAT SAYS "SERVICE STABILI TRAK" APPEARS AT THE SAME TIME IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS GRABBING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTROL SCREEN WHERE THE RADIO IS BLACKS OUT COMPLETELY ALSO. IT LASTS FROM A SPLIT SECOND TO SEVERAL SECONDS BUT IT RENDERS THE DRIVER HELPLESS TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE.

THE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM HAS FAILED SO I NO LONGER HAVE MIRROR BLIND SPOT PROTECTION. THE PROBLEM IS ALSO CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILING. THE ISSUE IS EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE COVERED BY BULLITEN 16-NA-178 FOR OTHER GM VEHICLES OF THE SAME MODEL YEARS WHICH USE THE SAME SYSTEM. GM SHOULD RECALL ALL THE CARS THAT USED THIS SYSTEM, NOT JUST SOME AS IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS THE WHOLE CLUSTER CAN GO DEAD WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN.
