My 2005 buick will die instantly. I will drive down the freeway and my car will die. For example I will be driving 50+ mph, and the car dies, kind of similar to slamming on my brakes. Things in my car will go flying it stops so abruptly. It gives no warning signs, just stops, and the engine turns off. It dies so instantly and stops right in its tracks so I am unable to steer ...

Written by: hawaiianguy on Sep 30, 2007 08:51 PM

As I've already said, I think the CXL and Ultra models at leaset from 2004 up have "side airbags" and a traction control system. From a website describing the 04 RDV: "CXL FWD ($30,935) and CXL AWD ($33,140) add leather upholstery, six-way power seats, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, heated mirrors, premium eight-speaker stereo with steering-wheel-mounted ...

Westin Safari light bar & rear storage shelf

Written by: barneyea on May 30, 2007 06:37 PM
