1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/20/2018

Vehicle stalls unexpectedly while driving and while it's just sitting. There is absolutely no warning sign as to when this will happen. It's stalled on me while driving in all weather conditions and at different speeds. The engine just quits. Sometimes it will restart after a short while, and at other times it's had to be towed. We've had it to different dealers and mechanics and no one can figure it out. Can't drive or sell it in this condition. The same problems occurred when my father owned the car. He took it in several times for repair also, and again, nothing solved the problem.

2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/03/2017

While vehicle was in motion on a city street,approximately 5 days ago and also 1 month prior to this it unexpectedly reduced power and within 5 seconds completely shut down the vehicle!if I was on a parkway or interstate when this occurred it could have resulted in a serious crash. My wife will no longer drive this car for fear it will cause a terrible or fatal accident. The vehicles dash read "starting disabled"service throttle!took it to the local dealer for evaluation and they could not find a solution. This a very serious safety issue that needs corrected before someone is injured or killed. This car only has 36k miles on it.

3 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/24/2017

Problems : a short circuit on the printed circuit board for the washer fluid heater, overheating the ground circuit board. May cause other electrical features malfunction, create an odor or cause smoke increasing the risk of fire. 2. Hwfs harness. Considerable melting has occurred around the hwfs fluid chamber. Possible for the heater washers module to ignite and a fire may occur. 3. On 3 occasions the key has locked out of the run position and caused loss of power, power-steering, and power breaking; increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. I have contacted Buick about this. They stated there are no recalls on my vehicle. Customer complaint number is 8-2700897169. General service number 1-866-608-8080. I drive as little as possible because of the factors. 1st recall # 08v441000 recall date 08/28/2008. Componet: electrical system on all 3 issues. 2. Recall date 06/24/2010 recall #10v240000. 3. Recall number is 14v355000 recall date 06/23/2014. Buick states these are not issues with my car but all these issues have occurred by me. These incidents for some reason these all happened while the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light, fixing to stop, or starting from a low rate of speed.

4 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/26/2016

Veh while driving just cuts off for no reason, speed does not matter. If going fast enough you might be able to cost to the shoulder of the road however there is absolutely no warning it just cuts off. After waiting about 5 minutes you can restart the car but have no assurance that it will keep going. This has happened a total of three times. Once in heavy traffic, and twice when there was enough speed to get the car to the shoulder of the road. The first time was the camshaft sensor and had that replaced and the service man told me there was absolutely no warning for failure. The second and third time no warning but have not found out what the cause s of this problem was. I contacted Buick and there has been no recall for this problem. Got on a Buick forum and found that there are several instances of this happening to other Buick Lucerne's. It is very dangerous for this problem especially when you have not warning of sudden stops. Buick needs to look into this and pursue this with dilligence before there is a car pile up on a freeway. Thanks.

Leased Buick Lucerne 2007, nothing was wrong when I got it and they told me there was a recall on the car but it was fixed, but then 5 weeks later my car won't start. . . They put a fake recall inspection sticker on the car, they told me "don't put anything on the key. . . Now they want me to pay for the payments,deductible,and diagnostic fee. . .

7 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2015

Head light failure due to passenger side relay harness module failure. Low beam lights failed on dark night on mountain road. This problem has been reported by numerous Buick Lucerne drivers. Buick obviously knows there is a problem because they offer a replacement front light harness module that must be spliced into the existing main light harness to replace the original equipment module. This is an obvious manufacturing design defect and a difficult module to replace. The replacement module is approximately $50 and the replacement labor is around 1. 5 hours. With normal use this light module connections shorts out because of the overload on the module. Why hasn't this problem been considered for a recall? gm has admitted it is a design defect with the availability of the replacement light harness module wiring kit. My wife almost went off the road and wrecked when the lights went out.

8 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/03/2015

Driver side door handle, cylinder lock and latch mechanism pulls out from the door when opening the door to enter car. The assembly stays loose after the door is closed. It appears that something has broken inside and will require that the door panel will need to be removed and assembly replaced.
