We have classified the 8 complaints from 2002 Buick LeSabre about STEERING into the following categories.
Beginning about august of 2015 until now, oct 2015, the engine of my buick le sabre has begun to stop running while driving. when that occurs i lose my power steering and power brakes. tonight (oct 7, 2015) it happened four times on the way home. i made it home safely fortunately but i will not drive the car again until it is fixed. last week i had both a mobile mechanic and an auto shop (purcell) look at it and they can not diagnose the problem. they call it an intermittent defect. what i have experienced sounds exactly like the description of the experience of the automobiles that gm has recalled, although my year, make, and model are not on the list that i found on the internet. my experience is so similar that i want my ignition switch replaced by gm before i will drive the car again. please advise. thanks.
