general problems of the 2006 Buick Lucerne - part 2

Had just got home and noticed that the rear passenger door was not all the way shut. So I shut it and then locked it. Went out the next day and same door won't open even though the visible lock is up in the unlock position.

The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 90,000.

The rear passenger doors of the car do not open. The automatic door locks have failed to work. The mechanism design has failed because the manual door lock releases do not work. It is impossible to exit (or enter) the car from the backseat. The rear doors on both sides of the car do not open. There has been no accident and there has never been any prior damage. Since more than two people often ride in this vehicle, this is an extreme safety hazard because it is impossible to access the back seat of the car (especially in an emergency) unless reaching over the front seat from inside the car.

The back doors on my Buick Lucerne 2006 have not unlocked for over a month. Strangely, one day I leaned on one door from the inside and it unlocked for a few hours and then relocked. I see many other complaints for the same issue online. The dealers were not helpful or sympathetic and charged me one hundred dollars to diagnose this in five minutes, with a two grand estimate. It is unsafe for back seaters who cannot get in or out safely. This should be on a recall from gm right away.

The left rear door is locked and cannot be unlocked either manually or electronically. This constitues a safety hazard as it is impossible to enter or exit the rear seat from the left side.

This electrical problem began about the first of the year when the electric door locks started to cycle while driving. It has since migrated to turning off the cruise control and causing the headlights to flash off and on. The remote start will start the car but will shut down the motor after a few seconds. These problems continue during every operation. I have been informed by the dealer that it is a p140 code and will take about 3 to 4 hours to diagnose where the problem at $80. 00 per hr. Plus repair.

The dealer stated that they believed that the vehicle was suffering from an electrical problem. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that there was nothing they could do to assist. The failure mileage was 177,000 and the current mileage was 192,000.

Since about 60,000 miles, the car it stalls out. It can stall going 70 mph down the interstate, stall at stop signs, stall pulling out of an intersection. Last occurrence I was trying to cross a major highway when it stalled. I coasted across the highway and it restarted right away. If a car had been coming from either direction, we would have been hit. I have had 4 sensors replaced and nothing seems to fix this problem.

On 4 separate occasions my '06 Buick Lucerne (3. 8 l)went into uncontrolable excelleration. On long road trips, with the cruise control engaged and doing approximately 70 mph, when I excelleratedhard, instead of returning to the cruise speed it seemed to lock into a passing gear. Braking didn't stop it, putting it into did not slow the engine revs. , however turning off the key and restarting after coasting a little while worked once or twice to stop the revs. . The other times I hit the brakes really hard and it disengaged the cruise and excelleration problem. Fortunately there was no accident or damage, since I had room on the highway to do this. The Buick dealer where I bought the car said they never heard of this before and could not duplicate when they tried. There was approximately 60,000 miles on the car when the last incident ocurred. Ps turning off the cruise switch didn't help either.

The factory repair kit improved the daytime visibility of the message center but still not as bright as the gauges and needles. The center glass lens reflection of the steering wheel bathed by the sun from the windows still overwhelms the message display and when driver is wearing sunglasses is completely unreadable. This could lead to an accident while trying to read it.

The contact owns a 2006 Buick Lucerne. While driving 35 mph, the check engine light illuminated. The dealer made repairs and the light dimmed, however, it illuminated intermittently shortly after the repair. A mechanic stated that a wire to the transmission failed and caused the illumination. The powertrain was unknown. The current mileage was 25,000 and failure mileage was 16,000.

My 2006 Buick Lucerne dash instruments are also unreadable during sunny days. I had a repair kit installed several years ago but it did not fix this problem. No more Buicks for me.

Total instrumental panel is not readable in the daylight. No way to increase the lighting. It is a safety hazard to not know how fast you are going. No accident is involved - at this time.
