general problems of the 2006 Buick Lucerne

After driving the car to school my daughter was unable to shift the car into gear. My husband went to the car and was also unable to shift. We had the vehicle towed to our local garage and received a call this morning that the shifter cable broke. The total price for repair is 360. 00 I noticed there was a recall for a similar gm vehicle for the shift cable breaking and a recall issued in the Cadillac vehicle. The recall claimed the vehicle was unable to shift in or out of gear. This is the same problem we experienced with our Lucerne. I'm thinking the Lucerne should be included in this recall. Thank you for checking.

The contact owns a 2006 Buick Lucerne. The contact stated that the powr train warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician diagnosed that the transmission was leaking. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 56,000.

My car's transmission did not come out of park at a large gas station. The car could not be moved buy any means. After several phone calls to various repair shops I was told that the brake interlock pin would not release. I was told that gm did not build an override into the shifter. After 1 plus hours of trying the pin finally released. By not putting the car in park I got the car to the dealership. They said that the part was superseded twice. The part failed three times before it was repaired. The car could have locked up in a more dangerous situation than mine.

When driving and accelerating, vehicle looses power. This is dangerous. This is an intermittent problem and no check engine light comes on. The speed does not play a part in this problem nor does the amount of gas in the fuel tank. The vehicle will loss power and have a big jerk and bang when accelerating out of a parked position. I have had the vehicle stall when turning onto a street and start back up. This morning in pulling out onto a busy street in my neighborhood,the car lost power, but regained power before I got hit. This is dangerous. I went to the dealership where I purchased and was told if there is no check engine light then no codes will be set to find the problem. So what do I do with this car? I know I have passed the lemon law. I have no warranty left. But my main concern is safety, not only myself but for others. Just saying what if this morning my car had not regained power and that family in the car with their babies couldn't stop and hit me. I don't want to think that those babies could have been hurt because I have a car that has a mysterious problem. So morally what do I do, trade and let someone else deal with this problem? keep on paying on a vehicle, that I am concerned about driving? also, I was a service adviser for 12 years in a gm and Chrysler dealership. I have an understanding of vehicles. Please if you don't have a resolution, don't blow smoke at me. Thank you for your time.

We were slowing to make a left turn when we lost all power we coasted to the curb and when I tried to start it there was a clicking as if it was a low battery. After a few minutes it started but ran rough but was able to get it home a few blocks away. Had it towed to a dealer and they could not find the problem. A week later it happened two more times and was able to get to the dealer who could find no problem. We had no more problems for four months and then it happened again. We took it to the dealer for the fourth time and again they could not find anything. We have contacted g. M. Customer svc. Twice and Buick customer svc. Who have opened a case file 71-129-047-0623. And suggested we contact a Buick dealer in oregon when we get home. We live in oregon and spend winters in calif. So now we must drive a 1000 miles not knowing when or if our car will suddenly die.
