The data screen for navigation has gone blank several times. A few times previously but 3 times in the past 2 days. The speedometer is viable but not the radio or navigation. Adaptive cruise control has occasionally alerted that it is not available & shuts off on its own. An alert yesterday stated power steering needs to be serviced but nothing is wrong. The car has turned off as I started to pull out into traffic & turned back on its self 3 times today. One time in the morning on my way to the gym at a stop light when it turned green when I went to proceed the car turned off and turn back on its self, leaving the gym pulling out of the parking lot pulling out into traffic it turned off & back on by itself & this evening after stoping at a store I stopped at the exit & when I went to pull out in traffic the car turned off & back on again by itself. Also the delay wipers do not come on themselves.

My son's car was hit by this Buick while he was making a right turn. The driver of the Buick was not paying attention and thought he had already turned. She accelerated into him and AEB did not prevent it. We are not sure why this Buick's ADAS failed. It is not our car, but that of the person who hit us. I don't know the answers to the above question as we were not the driver and it is not our car. Our concern is how could the car allow such an impact to occur especially at low speed. Video from our car showing the accident is here: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I am writing to report a serious and ongoing safety issue with my vehicle. While I was actively driving in traffic, my car suddenly shut off completely without warning. This occurred while the vehicle was in motion, creating an immediate and dangerous situation. During this incident, the steering wheel locked up multiple times while I was driving, making it extremely difficult to control the vehicle and safely maneuver through traffic. This put not only my safety at risk, but also the safety of other drivers on the road. In addition to this, there are multiple mechanical and safety-related issues with the vehicle: •The driver’s seat is stuck and cannot be adjusted. •The front doors will not lock. •The back doors will not unlock. These issues significantly increase the risk of injury or harm in the event of an emergency, accident, or even while the vehicle is parked. Given that the vehicle shut off in traffic and experienced steering lock while driving, I do not feel the car is safe to operate. I am requesting that this matter be reviewed urgently, as this vehicle presents a serious safety hazard to myself and others. Please advise on the next steps for inspection, coverage, or resolution as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter
