WHILE DRIVING AROUND 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. THE BATTERY LIGHT WENT ON. THEN SUDDENLY THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES DIED. IT WAS VERY SCARY. A HUGH SAFETY ISSUE, THIS VERY EASILY COULD HAVE LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, CRASH OR DEATH. THE STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE BRAKES HARD TO PUSH DOWN. BUT THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO A EXIT. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED IN STORE PARKING LOT. IT WOULD NOT START AFTER GETTING THERE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TAKEN TO A BUICK DEALERSHIP. IT WAS ALSO SHOWING A AIR BAG ERROR MESSAGE. THEY TOLD ME IT HAD TO DO WITH THE SEAT POSITION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I HAVE HAD IT THERE 6 TIMES THIS YEAR WITH THE SAME ISSUE. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO FOR THE 7TH TIME OF TAKING IT THERE THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE HYBRID BATTERY STATING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER IT WORKED FOR ONLY 9 DAYS. WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE IT ON THE NINTH DAY, THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS AGAIN ON AND HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I LEFT IT IN MY GARAGE, BUT ULTIMATELY HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE COMPANY WHO HAS NOW HAD IT FOR 2 WEEKS STATING THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF PARASITIC DRAW ON THE BATTER AND IT WON'T HOLD A CHARGE. THEY ALSO CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE WITH WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CAR. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.
