2010 Buick Lacrosse

THE BATTERY GOES DEAD. WHEN IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WE WERE TOLD THAT WE DID NOT DRIVE ENOUGH. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED IN 12/2010. THIS TIME THERE WERE 21 LOW VOLTAGE HITS WHEN THE DEALERSHIP WAS TROUBLESHOOTING. I ALSO SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT TO GM. IT APPEARS THAT THEIR SOLUTION IS TO PLACE A TRICKLE CHARGE ON THE BATTERY TO ENSURE THE BATTERY IS AT FULL CAPACITY. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING A SOLAR POWERED BATTERY CHARGE AT THIS TIME. IN ORDER FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, SHE WILL ALWAYS HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CHARGER. TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM ON A STATE OF THE ART AUTOMOBILE IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING.

PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW AS A DEMO, HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER 5 TIMES AND ARE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS A HARD PULL TO THE LEFT. IT IS NOTICEABLE AT ANY SPEED BUT WHEN IT REALLY BECOMES AN ISSUE IS AT EXPRESSWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT WILL NOT STAY IN LINE AND ANY INTERRUPTION COULD CASE THE VEHICLE TO TRAVEL IN ANOTHER LANE NOT JUST A DRIFT IN WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT BUT A HARD LEFT TURN, HOPEFULLY NOBODY IS THERE WHEN IT HAPPENS.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROUTE WITH HIGH TRAFFIC TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE CAR FELT AS IF SOMEONE STEPPED ON THE BRAKES TWICE. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN ABRUPTLY ALMOST TO A STOP. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. I WAS 1/2 MILE FROM MY HOUSE SO I DECIDED TO PROCEED HOME. I STARTED UP THE CAR AND SLOWLY DROVE DOWN THE ROAD. WITHIN MINUTES THE BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED THEMSELVES AGAIN SLOWING THE VEHICLE DRAMATICALLY. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE TO MY GARAGE AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING. THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK AND TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR WHERE IT HAS BEEN SINCE 12/23/10. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. I WILL NEVER DRIVE THAT CAR AGAIN.
