general problems of the 2006 Buick Lucerne

I have 2006 Buick Lucerne. I paid over 800 dollars get brakes fixed. Now they saying messed up again power steering messed up. The front passenger side where tire hits bump makes nise like strut. Power steering fluid leaking brake fliud leaking. Air bags.

Takata recall I was in an accident were I read ended a car because I was going around a corner and my breaks failed and my airbags did not deploy. I was going 25 in a residential area and took a corner to fast because my breaks failed. I hit a curb busted my passenger tire off and then hit a stationary car. The passenger side of my car was destroyed and the airbags failed to deploy. I had zero airbag replacement lights on everything with the car was fine and normal.

I was told my garage kept Buick lucern with 18,000 miles needs gas line and brake lining replacement because of rust.

Car died while driving it. Lost power steering and brakes. Had car towed to dealer. It was diagnosed as having a faulty ignition module. I was lucky I was not on a highway at high speed. Given the company recalls on ignition parts on other nameplates, it is likely that the Buicks are also seeing ignition problems and failures but gm has not issued a recall for this car platform. I hope that no one is seriously injured or killed before this defective part is recalled. I consider myself lucky.

The warning light came on and stated service stabilitrac and then went off. Two weeks later came on again, and went off. The car began to shake and vibrate as brakes were applied when stopping. About a month after that the traction control light came on and the car began applying the brakes at a speed of about 50 miles per hour and making a noise that was loud enough to hear as it sounded like the pressing of the brakes to the wheel hubs. My wife and daughter and I turned arouned arouned went back home and parked the car and drove my truck to visit other family members that day. Two weeks later I took the Buick 2006 Lucerne to have a gm certified mech put it on the diagnostic machine and the reported that nothing showed up as needing replaced.

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.

The brakes when applying coming down hills make the front end shimmy and shake and it does not want to slow the vehicle down according to the brake pressure being applied. This is a very serious problem and I called the dealer here in butte, mt and they said she thinks this is the way it is. The problem has gotten somewhat worse as time and use of the brakes increase and it is becoming as masjor issue for us. We love the car but this needs to be looked at as soon as possible. The car has 45800 miles as of now. We purchased it new in 2006.

Recently noticed when brakes are applied that the pedal will slowly sink to the floor causing my foot to be pressing the gas pedal at the same time. At a stop light it causes the anti brakes to come on and to proceed through the stop light.

The contact owns a 2006 Buick Lucerne. The contact stated that the brakes on his vehicle vibrate severely and continue to fail. Whenever he is driving and coming to a stop, the brakes vibrate and shimmy. As a result, the contact loses control of the vehicle and it veers across the road. The dealer has repaired the vehicle twice, but the failure still persists. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 32,000.

During braking on any steep decline, the brakes shudder( vibrate) to the point that the steering wheel is hard to handle. The vehicle feels that control could be lost above speeds of 40 mph.

Experienced front end vibration on delivery. Dealer did a wheel alignment but a slight vibration continued. Eventually it increased and I took it to a independent for balancing and rotation but the problem persisted. The dealer analyzed it as "defective" tires on the front and replaced them. As I drove home the car pulled to the right. Took it back to the dealer and they switched the left front to the right and the right front to the left and claimed that would fix the problem. The car began to shimmy and vibrate badly. Returned to the dealer and they found my right front brake defective. As I left the dealer I noticed that there still is a vibration. Tried for 10 days to have gm talk with the dealer but they continually told me they had not been able to reach them. Because this car had the defective instrument panel that no one can see during daylight hours, front end and brake problems I deemed this Buick Lucerne unsafe and have sold it to a dealer.

: the contact stated the brakes vibrated going downhill. The braking was normal at all other times. The service dealer changed the rotors, but that did not remedy the problem.

The contact owns a 2006 Buick Lucerne. While driving downhill through the mountains, the vehicle began to shake and vibrate loudly when the brakes were applied. Buick stated that they were not repairing the brakes due to the high repair expenses. The manufacturer advised the contact to visit his local dealer. The VIN, engine size, failure speed, and failure mileage were unknown. The current mileage was 29,000. The consumer stated took the vehicle to dealer on 4 separate occasions but to no avail, the consumer stated the dealer was supposed to contact him but the consumer has not heard from the dealer in the as of yet.
