Going down an incline on a curve, at 25 mph and the engine shuts off and the steering locks up. Brought the car to a stop without power brakes working. Car could not be put into park to restart. Put car ito neutral and started right up. Very very dangerous as there is no control over the steering and brakes are only working a fraction of there potential.

While driving brake pedal went to the floor and brakes failed without warning. After car was towed to a body shop, shop personnel said brakes were working fine. Insurance company sent appraiser to check car and he said the brakes "failed a couple more times" while he was trying them. Towed car to Buick dealer. Dealer inspected brakes and said nothing was wrong with them. We traded car in to the dealer.
