THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS: I wrote over the summer about this issue and it is still a problem. I have had this car a little over a year. Bringing the car back to dealership again (this will be trip #5 for this specific issue). Car suddenly starts swaying. Happens on a straight or a curve and all kinds of weather including completely sunny and dry pavement. Has happened a few times on the highway and I thought I was going to crash. There are no reported accidents for this car that predicts this behavior. Dealership has been telling me that AWDs needs many alignments (my other car is AWD and I don't have this problem). Last visit they said I had a cracked hub (no accompanying noise so that seemed odd) and that was my problem - and my brake pads were paper thin (that was one of the things that they told me that updated before they sold me the car...but that is another story). The car is still fishtailing : back end sways but the tires are not leaving the pavement. I don't feel safe in this car and I still owe money on it, so I feel a little stuck. I would prefer to have the issue resolved...HELP!
 
Update: took the car to the dealer again. They told me that there is nothing wrong with the car. Since that appointment I Found an NHTSA recall (11V404000) that precisely describes the problem that I am having but my car is not part of the recall. Initially Buick was very responsive but since I brought this recall to the attention of the dealer and to Buick I now hear crickets.
