2015 Buick LaCrosse Complaints

My wife was driving and went to turn the vehicle and the steering locked up momentarily. She drove directly home a block away and pulled into the garage. When attempting to take the car for service it would not turn in either direction.

The truck pops open on its own when park and while driving.. Had to pull the fuse just to keep it from opening.

The contact owns a 2015 Buick Lacrosse. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, he noticed that the steering wheel did not have power steering. The warning message "Service Power Steering" was illuminated. The contact was able to take the vehicle to the dealer by forcefully steering the steering wheel. The dealer test drove the vehicle and diagnosed that no issues were found. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while driving. The contact veered to the side of the road. The contact stated that after turning off and restarting the vehicle, the steering wheel regained power steering functionality. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who diagnosed that no issues were found. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 69,100.

Power steering went out while driving roughy 45/50 mph. Unknown reason why it went out.

While driving at approximately 55 mph, my power steering went out (at first I thought I had blown a tire). It became almost impossible to perform any quick/reactionary steering changes. I put on my hazards and drove to the dealership and then for a second opinion with my local trusted mechanic. Both advised the electronic steering assembly went bad, that there is a new part #, indicative of a high failure rate; however, the part is not available in all of North America (they checked.) they called GM Buick and were advised an ETA on the backorder for the part is unknown. They filed for an emergency backorder request and are awaiting further information. Now, I have an undriveable vehicle, there are no loaner cars available, the cheapest rental car is a full car payment every three days, and no idea how long before the vehicle will be able to be repaired as it is too dangerous to drive in its current state. I think this needs to be investigated, as this issue sounds like it should...
