A few days before it pooped out on me it had been cutting off while I was driving, but it would fire right back up. Then I started up one day and the engine was idling up and down, all the dash lights was blinking on and off, the odometer and rpm gauges was going back and fourth, it was making a ticking noise from the cabin, and the windows would go up and down intermintently when I tried to roll them down. I have heard its the pcm, ecm, bcm, ignition switch, maf sensor. Maf had already been replaced approx. 5000 miles ago. Please help im still paying notes on this car. And they wonder why GM is bankrupt. Im an 60-70s Gm guy anyway, but gas prices made me buy this buick!

My buick is doing the same thing. It has been at the shop for 3 wks now and they can't find out what is wrong with it. First it was a ground now they are telling me its my security module. Car won't even start now.
I will check tomorrow to see if they ran a code check on it and if they did get the codes. I really need my car back.
